About the trip
The Renaissance sets sail from Bridgetown, Barbados, looping through the Lesser Antilles over 14 days. After a start in Barbados, the route threads through Guadeloupe, Antigua, Saint Maarten and Curacao, all islands that reveal a surprising variety of colonial history, tropical forests and seaside markets.
Among the highlights are the towering Pitons of St. Lucia, a pair of volcanic spires visible from the ship as it docks at Castries, and the nutmeg plantations of Grenada, where spice scents drift even near the harbour. Roseau on Dominica adds a wetter, greener note to the itinerary, famed for its waterfalls and volcanic landscape.
Service and style come courtesy of Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance, a vessel sized for these ports and paced to linger just enough. The route’s circular nature means you return to Bridgetown for disembarkation without having retraced your course. There are no long open-sea transits here, just island-hopping by way of some of the Caribbean’s more diverse destinations.
