This two-week cruise on Ambassador’s Renaissance begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, tracing a loop through the southern Caribbean. After Barbados itself, the ship calls at Willemstad, Curacao, known for its colourful Dutch colonial architecture, and Bonaire, where coral reefs draw divers and snorkellers.

The itinerary then moves northwards to Guadeloupe’s Pointe a Pitre and Antigua’s St. John’s, where traces of the islands’ colonial past rub against lively markets and beaches. The British Virgin Islands follow, with a visit to Road Town on Tortola, notable for its calm harbour and windward ferry connections. Saint Maarten’s Philipsburg and St. Kitts’s Basseterre come next, mixing Caribbean port towns better suited to strolls than the brief calls might imply.
The cruise turns south again through Dominica’s Roseau and back to Curacao before returning to Barbados. Renaissance is a ship compact enough to turn in a fjord, and in these waters, it can slip neatly into smaller harbours. This itinerary suits those who want a steady pace and a variety of ports without long stretches at sea.
