About the trip

This 14-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance sets off from Bridgetown, Barbados, looping through a series of diverse Caribbean ports before returning to its starting point. Among the first stops is Pointe-à-Pitre on Guadeloupe, where the architecture and markets hint at a strong French influence. Later, Castries in St Lucia provides lush greenery and the volcanic ridges that rise sharply inland.

The itinerary continues through the British Virgin Islands, with a visit to Road Town on Tortola offering a chance to see a more modest port town, followed by Bonaire and Curaçao, whose colourful Dutch colonial buildings stand quietly apart from the usual Caribbean postcard. The ship calls into Fort-de-France in Martinique, contrasting the French-Caribbean atmosphere with St Kitts, home to remnants of old sugar plantations.

Ambassador’s Renaissance is a vessel of comfortable scale, suited to this itinerary’s mix of island-hopping and longer stays. The route is steady rather than rushed, fitting well those who prefer to recover between ports without the excitement of nightly late arrivals.
