Highlights
Two nights near Amsterdam at Ijmuiden port
Seafood markets of Vigo and sights of Santiago de Compostela
Colonial town of Santa Cruz de La Palma
Island stops including St. Kitts, Saint Maarten and Antigua
Final days in Guadeloupe and Barbados
Starting from London Tilbury, the Renaissance heads first to Ijmuiden, the port for Amsterdam with its canals and narrow houses, before crossing to Vigo on Spain’s Atlantic coast. Vigo offers a seafood market that still buzzes with fishermen’s early catch and is gateway to Santiago de Compostela, known for its ancient cathedral and pilgrim trails.
Journeys
A 21-night cruise on Ambassador’s Renaissance from London Tilbury to Barbados, calling at Amsterdam, northern Spain, La Palma, then sailing through several Caribbean islands including St. Kitts, Antigua and Guadeloupe.
After crossing the Atlantic, the vessel docks in Santa Cruz de La Palma in the Canaries, a quieter island town with cobbled streets and colonial architecture. The cruise then moves on through the eastern Caribbean, visiting the British territories of St. Kitts and the Dutch side of Saint Maarten, with its split personality of calm bays and resort buzz.
Further stops include Antigua, with its many bays, and Roseau on Dominica, where rainforests peek close to the town. The itinerary wraps up with Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados. Ambassador’s Renaissance is a comfortable ship for this varied route that combines European coastal culture with island life in the Tropics.
