About the trip

This 20-night voyage on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance begins in Bridgetown, Barbados, putting you straight into the southern Caribbean’s mix of pastel-coloured buildings and lively harbour scenes. From there, the route loops through St Lucia’s volcanic peaks and the French-tinged streets of Fort de France in Martinique.

Willemstad on Curacao is a burst of Dutch colonial colour, contrasting with the rainforest-draped hills of Dominica and Antigua’s Georgian-era St. John's. Calls in St. Maarten and St. Kitts add a British-Caribbean flavour before the long Atlantic crossing back to Portsmouth.

Renaissance’s size means it slips neatly into harbours larger ships might avoid. It’s a cruise that moves steadily from one island to the next, with time to watch the changing light on volcanic slopes or spot spice stalls in French-speaking towns, but without the feeling of being rushed.
