About the trip
This Atlantic crossing begins at London Tilbury and takes in the Caribbean’s eastern arc before finishing in Barbados. After Basseterre in St Kitts, the ship visits Dominica where rainforest-covered hills rise above the harbour, then on to Castries in St Lucia, better known for its beaches and distinctive Pitons.
Fort de France brings a dash of French Caribbean life, with colourful markets and colonial storefronts, followed by Willemstad, Curacao’s capital with its pastel-coloured Dutch colonial buildings lining the waterfront. The final days unfold in Bridgetown, Barbados, a port town with a long history as a trade hub.
The Renaissance is a moderate-sized ship, with enough grace to turn in a bay and space to stretch after several sea days. Ambassador Cruise Line keeps the mood unpretentious, useful on a voyage that includes some long crossings and wide-ranging climate changes.
