About the trip

This two-week cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line's Renaissance begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, tracing a wide loop through the eastern and southern Caribbean islands. From the sugar-and-spice market stalls of Castries in St. Lucia to the colonial streets of Basseterre, St. Kitts, the route includes a mix of British, Dutch and French influences.

Highlights include the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons in St. Lucia, visible from the deck as the ship sails past. Willemstad’s waterfront on Curaçao shows off Dutch colonial colour while Bonaire has reefs nearby that are a mainstay for Caribbean diving. The itinerary also calls at Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre and Saint Maarten’s Philipsburg, islands where the scent of salt and cloves hangs in the air.

Renaissance’s size allows for easy handling in smaller ports like Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, where the pace slows noticeably compared to some of the busier hubs. Overall, this route presents a broad survey of culture and coastline, not a dash from one showpiece to the next.
