About the trip

This two-week cruise from Bridgetown, Barbados, sets a leisurely pace around the eastern Caribbean, calling at Guadeloupe twice along the way. The route includes islands from several colonial traditions, offering a glimpse beyond the usual resort façades. Pointe a Pitre on Guadeloupe, where the scent of nutmeg drifts from roadside stalls, contrasts with the Dutch-flavoured streets of Willemstad in Curacao, its pastel buildings lining a natural harbour.

Among the stops are St Lucia, where the volcanic Pitons rise sharply from the sea, and Dominica, known for its rainforests and waterfalls rather than beaches. Antigua and Saint Maarten bring a lively atmosphere with their yacht-filled marinas and market towns. The Renaissance, Ambassador’s mid-sized ship, handles these ports with ease and provides a straightforward base after the days ashore.

The voyage returns to Bridgetown, circumnavigating a good portion of the Lesser Antilles. It's a chance to move beyond airport transfers and resorts, and observe the distinct heritage and landscape that shape each island’s character during a steady rhythm of days at sea and in port.
