About the trip
This 14-night Caribbean cruise begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, setting a steady route through the eastern and southern Lesser Antilles. After leaving Barbados, the ship calls twice at Pointe a Pitre on Guadeloupe, a port with French influence and volcanic landscapes nearby. There follows a sequence of islands famous for their colonial pasts and natural allure: St Lucia’s rainforest-clad hills around Castries, the dual Dutch-French culture of Saint Maarten’s Philipsburg, and the British Virgin Islands’ haven of Tortola.
