From there it moves on to the Dutch islands of Sint Maarten, Curaçao and Aruba, where the colourful colonial architecture contrasts with their reputation for laid-back beaches and diving centres. Antigua’s St John’s offers a chance to visit winding streets and out-of-the-way bays, while Bonaire stands apart for its salt flats and marine park, a quieter outpost compared to its neighbours. Along the way, the ship pauses more than once at Guadeloupe’s lively ports and touches on Dominica with its volcanic landscapes.
The Renaissance is a moderately sized ship that fits comfortably into these ports, allowing for afternoons off the beaten track and a relaxed pace. The itinerary makes few concessions to rush; there is time to take in local details from bustling quaysides to quieter harbours before making way to the next stop.
