Best Jamaica Travel
Cruising industry has
a long history in Jamaica dating as way back as late 1800s. The advent of steam
ship opened a new way of travel and steamed vessels were steaming across the
open Caribbean waters destined for Jamaica. In fact the popular marketing
slogan that they used then was “let’s go beyond the ocean”.

Importantly Jamaica
was not marketed for the sun, sand and beaches but instead its therapeutic
benefits. The clean and purported healing air of Jamaica was what attracted the
visitors who brought their automobiles with them on the ship and explore the
country at their own leisure. Places
like Milk River Bath, the many Jamaican majestic waterfalls, Botanical Gardens
or anything places that were of naturally beauty was explored.
The big boom in
passenger cruise came about from 1920 through 1040s when transatlantic travel
was glamorized. These cruise excursions were advertised as fashionable and luxurious featuring exquisite food and
on-board activities. These voyages were
then extended to Jamaica and the Caribbean during the winter when Europe was
cold. It was a lucrative business although the ships were not designed for the
tropics as the on-board activities were below sea level with poor aeration.
The largest industry
in the world today is tourism with cruising been the fastest growing sector.
