About the trip

This 17-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line's Renaissance begins in Bridgetown, Barbados, threading through a series of Caribbean ports known for their local character and natural features. St. George’s in Grenada offers spice plantations a short trip from the quay, while Castries in St. Lucia opens views towards the Pitons, those volcanic peaks that rise sharply above the coast.

Further stops include Roseau in Dominica, where rainforest waterfalls are never far away, and St. John’s in Antigua, where the early British colonial architecture meets colourful Caribbean storefronts. After Antigua, the route leaves the Caribbean’s familiar heat for the cooler Atlantic, touching Ponta Delgada in the Azores, a volcanic archipelago with hydrangea-lined streets and calming ocean views.

The penultimate port is Leixoes, close to the historic city of Oporto in northern Portugal, where port wine warehouses line the Douro River. The cruise concludes with a return to London via Tilbury, closing a diverse voyage of sea and islands that moves from tropical coastlines to European shores in a measured, relaxed style.
