About the trip

This two-week cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sails from and returns to Bridgetown, Barbados, calling along a string of Caribbean islands with distinct character. St George's in Grenada invites a stroll past Georgian architecture and spice markets, while Castries on Saint Lucia sits near volcanic peaks and the Sugar Beach.

The Renaissance then heads to smaller ports like Scarborough on Tobago and Kralendijk in Bonaire, where coral reefs and colourful Dutch colonial buildings share the waterfront. Guadeloupe's Pointe-à-Pitre has a lively central market and waterfront bustle. The British Virgin Islands and St Kitts add quieter spots with legacies of both colonialism and relaxation.

The ship is compact enough for island-hopping without the long waits that bigger vessels bring, sailing steadily through the lesser frequented southern Lesser Antilles. This cruise feels a little like a map unfolding: a series of stepping-stones across the warm waters, each with its own flavour. The round-trip approach from Barbados keeps the start and finish familiar, which many will appreciate after an early Christmas flight.
