Cruise · 14 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A two-week voyage aboard Ambassador’s Renaissance visiting a string of Caribbean islands from Barbados to the British Virgin Islands and back, combining familiar favourites with some less often called ports.
Highlights
Kingstown, St Vincent’s harbour and nearby volcanic landscape
Castries’ market and harbour front in St Lucia
Dutch colonial architecture of Oranjestad, Aruba
Road Town on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands
Philipsburg, Saint Maarten’s dual Dutch and French capital
This 14-night cruise sets off from Bridgetown, Barbados, and traces a wide arc around the southern and eastern Caribbean. Stops include Kingstown on St Vincent, Castries on St Lucia and then the colourful ports of Aruba and Curaçao, where Dutch colonial architecture still stands out amid beaches and coral reefs.
Journeys
Food & drink
Beyond the ABC islands, the route takes in Bonaire and Pointe a Pitre on Guadeloupe before calling at Antigua’s capital St John's and Road Town on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Saint Maarten’s half-French, half-Dutch Philipsburg provides a livelier contrast. Renaissance, the ship, is comfortable and approachable with a pace that allows time to stroll on shore or watch island life drift by from the deck.
There is enough variety — from the French Caribbean feel of Guadeloupe to the Caribbean Netherlands — to keep the itinerary engaging without feeling rushed. The cruise sets out from and returns to Barbados, making it a neat circuit in the tropics that keeps the flight in mind without skimping on destinations.
