About the trip
This 18-night cruise from London Tilbury takes a leisurely route to the Caribbean, calling first at St Kitts with its old sugar plantations and volcanic landscape. From there, Renaissance continues through Dominica — where rainforest meets the sea — before heading south to Caribbean French overseas territories like Fort-de-France on Martinique and Castries on St Lucia.
Along the way, the ship visits the Dutch island of Curaçao, known for its colourful colonial architecture and dry climate quite different from the greenness of the Windward Islands. The voyage ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, a city with colonial landmarks sitting alongside lively harbour scenes. Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance is a mid-sized ship, large enough for comfortable facilities but small enough to slip into some less common ports.
The pace suits travellers happy to spend time in port rather than rushing from one highlight to the next, with a transatlantic stretch that gives a chance to settle in for life at sea before the Caribbean island hopping begins. It is a route that mixes British and continental European colonial legacies amid some of the quieter corners of the eastern Caribbean.
