About the trip

This fourteen-night cruise aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance sets out from Bridgetown, Barbados, to circle through a selection of Lesser Antilles islands. After sailing northwest, it calls at Pointe a Pitre on Guadeloupe before crossing to Philipsburg on Saint Maarten. St. John's on Antigua and Road Town in Tortola follow, offering chances to see British Virgin Island coves and coral reefs.

The route continues south along the southern Caribbean arc, touching Bonaire’s salt flats and Willemstad’s colourful Dutch colonial architecture in Curacao. Then the ship heads northwest to Basseterre on St. Kitts before looping back to Guadeloupe and ending with two days in Fort de France, Martinique, where the mix of French Creole culture and volcanic landscapes can be appreciated. The itinerary closes as it started, in Barbados, a reminder of the region’s blend of cultures and calm harbours.

The Renaissance keeps a comfortable pace with no long sea days between ports, allowing time on deck to watch island beaches, fishing boats and coral reefs pass by. This is not a liner for those wanting to cross oceans, but it makes a decent exploration of the eastern Caribbean's familiar and less familiar stops.
