Cruise · 14 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
Two weeks aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance, circumnavigating the southern Caribbean from Barbados with stops at ABC Islands, Guadeloupe, Antigua and St. Kitts.
Highlights
Two visits to Bonaire and its coral reefs
Christmas Day spent at sea
St. George’s harbour and Grenadian spice markets
Oranjestad’s Dutch colonial architecture
Basseterre, St. KittsWith its quieter island feel
This 14-night Caribbean cruise sets off and finishes in Bridgetown, Barbados, circuiting the southern islands with an easy pace that includes two visits to Bonaire. From Barbados, the route heads west to St. George’s in Grenada, before calling at St. Lucia’s volcanic bays and on to the coral islands of Bonaire and Curacao. The twin visits to Bonaire highlight one of the region’s clearest waters and coral reefs, rather than repeating more common ports.

Ambassador’s Renaissance then slips into Aruba’s colourful Oranjestad with its Dutch colonial traces and moves on to Basseterre in St. Kitts, arguably the least visited of the main Caribbean islands. Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre offers a lively market scene, while Antigua’s St. John's carries the feel of a traditional naval colonial hub. Saint Maarten’s Philipsburg provides a last call before returning to Bridgetown.
Amid the tropical island calls, Christmas Day is spent at sea, providing a quiet pause between the more active days ashore. Renaissance carries a modest traveller load, making it easier to step ashore without queues, which can be a relief when the itinerary spans a dozen destinations.
