About the trip

This voyage on Renaissance begins in London Tilbury, heading to Ijmuiden for a day in Amsterdam with its canals and museums close at hand. From there the ship sails south to Vigo, gateway to Santiago de Compostela – known for its pilgrimage cathedral and university town character.

After dropping anchor in Santa Cruz de La Palma on the Canaries, Renaissance crosses the Atlantic to the Caribbean. The itinerary then follows a series of islands: Basseterre on St Kitts, Philipsburg on Saint Maarten, St John’s in Antigua, and Roseau on Dominica, each offering distinct colonial histories and local culture. The ship also calls at Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe’s main town, before finishing in Bridgetown, Barbados.

The ship itself is a relaxed vessel by Ambassador Cruise Line standards, small enough to approach quieter harbours and large enough for a certain measure of creature comforts. It’s a route that stretches from northern Europe’s cooler ports to the tropical rhythms of the Caribbean, with plenty of time to take in island atmospheres rather than just pass through them.
