Highlights
Two calls at Willemstad, Curacao
Visits to rainforested Dominica and volcanic St Lucia
Stop in Aruba with Dutch Caribbean architecture
Pointe-à-Pitre port on Guadeloupe
Overnight start and finish in Bridgetown, Barbados
This fortnight aboard Renaissance begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, setting out beneath the steady trade winds for the diverse islands of the eastern and southern Caribbean. The itinerary threads through Kingstown in St. Vincent, Roseau on Dominica — where the landscape includes rainforest and volcanic remnants — before heading west to Aruba and Willemstad, Curacao’s capital, known for its colourful colonial architecture.
Journeys
Food & drink
Two weeks aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance, sailing a wide Caribbean circle from Bridgetown via the Lesser Antilles to Curacao and Guadeloupe, with a return calling at Willemstad and Barbados again.
Mid-cruise visits to Pointe-à-Pitre on Guadeloupe and Castries in St. Lucia bring a chance to see French Caribbean influences alongside rainforest hills and bays. St. George’s in Grenada and Scarborough on Tobago are last calls before the ship returns to Willemstad and finishes where it began, in Barbados. Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance is a vessel with a straightforward style, well suited to making several stops without the hurry of larger ships.
It is a route for those interested in a variety of island cultures and landscapes, allowing time to notice how each place differs. The repetition of Willemstad on both westward and eastward legs hints at the roughly clockwise circuit this cruise makes through the Caribbean islands, giving a rhythm to the voyage more orderly than it first appears.
