“With the world’s greatest concentration of inland waters, plentiful rainforest and a string of striking volcanoes, Nicaragua is considered one of Central America’s hottest adventure destinations.

Join us hiking, kayaking and sailing in this lush wonderland rich with colonial and indigenous history before the rest of the world discovers this place of striking beauty and fascinating culture.

Nearly one-fifth of Nicaragua is forest reserves filled with toucans, parrots, monkeys and iguana in a land of more than 50 volcanoes. We’ll swim in the warm waters of one extinct crater and hike around the steaming Crater Santiago

where green parakeets roost above smoldering lava. Your travels will take you to a native artisan market, authentic highland villages and to historic León and Granada, where brightly painted colonial homes reflect one of the oldest European settlements in the Western Hemisphere.  Relaxation matches exhilaration as you kayak the bird-rich Archipiélago de Las Isletas, a chain of 354 islands, visit the sweet beaches along the sweeping half moon bay of the little fishing village of San Juan del Sur and sail all day along the beautiful Pacific coast – all part of Central America’s best-kept secret.”

Nicaragua is slowly becoming discovered for its world-class sport fishing. Pacific offshore fishing will score you Black Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado. Nicaragua’s inshore fishing can be just as exciting, and will score you Rooster Fish, Jacks, Barracudas, and Mackerels. With sea life teeming along Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, you can expect to see Jacks swimming in the waves you paddle out through, and don’t be surprised if you hook a Wahoo or Dorado just a couple hundred yards off the beach! The nicest thing about fishing out of San Juan del Sur is that you will most likely be able to count the other boats you see all day on one hand! San Juan del Sur offers a variety of sport fishing options

The likelihood of your cruise being drastically affected is lower than you might think.

Read on for some tips for planning a cruise from the month of June to November.

It is not recommended to plan your cruise based on a specific destination or event, such as a Destination Wedding in St. Maarten.  If a storm is in the area, your itinerary may be altered and plans can be completely thrown off.

Be aware of possible flight changes and have a plan.  Be sure to carry the cruise line’s toll-free number with you and contact them if you’re having trouble getting to the pier.

Vacation Protection, whether purchased through the cruise line or independently, is a good investment.  Ensure that the policy covers disruption or delays due to weather-related events.

A good rule of thumb is to be prepared for the worst and know that your plans can change if a hurricane or tropical storm is imminent.  Keep an eye on the Weather Channel about a week prior to your departure date.

In planning for the possibility of not being able to make it to the ship due to travel-related delays, it is a good idea to arrive in the departure port city a day or two in advance.  On the other end, plan ahead in the event that you are delayed going back home AFTER your cruise.

Although unpredictable, the peak periods within a season tend to vary by geography.  In the Eastern Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast, August-September seem to be the busiest.  In the Western Caribbean, more hurricanes tend to occur in September through the end of the season.  Although early and late season hurricanes are not the norm, the possibility cannot be overlooked.

The cruise lines have extensive Hurricane and Tropical Storm emergency response plans intact and they will avoid the storm by altering your itinerary or docking at an alternate port.  The cruise lines don’t normally refund for missed ports, but you may be entitled to refunds on prepaid port taxes-depending on the situation and cruise line.

Don’t let Hurricane Season put a damper on your cruise vacation plans this summer.  Remember that preparedness is key to a stress-free vacation.

With a GRN Travel Club Membership you can cruise the world at member benefit discount prices all year round offering cruises to the Western Caribbean, Eastern Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Asia, Mexico, US & Canada, South America and Disney Cruises.  If cruising is your favorite way to vacation, save thousands on your cruises for a lifetime.
