About the trip

This 14-night itinerary on Ambassador Cruise Line's Renaissance begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, sailing a loop through the southern and eastern Caribbean. It calls at islands ranging from St George’s in Grenada and Castries in Saint Lucia to the Dutch Caribbean’s Bonaire and Curaçao, where colourful colonial architecture meets coral reefs.

The route then threads northwards through Dominica’s waterfalls and rainforest, calls at Guadeloupe and Saint Kitts, and continues to the British Virgin Islands and Saint Maarten. The ship is small enough to slip into harbours where larger vessels would have to wait offshore. At places such as Roseau, Dominica, you’ll spot local markets and produce stands often overlooked by bigger ships.

With little more than two days at sea scattered between the ports, this cruise rarely lingers — the pace suits those more interested in a broad sweep of islands than in long stops. It ends back in Barbados after visiting 14 ports, a chain of encounters with differing histories and landscapes strung out across the Caribbean Sea.
