About the trip
This 14-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance begins and ends in Bridgetown, Barbados, threading through the southern Caribbean. First stops include Willemstad on Curacao, noted for its colourful Dutch colonial buildings, and Bonaire, whose coral reefs attract snorkellers and divers alike.
Further west, the itinerary takes you to Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre, a gateway to rainforest walks, followed by Antigua’s St. John’s with its old harbour and sailing reputation. The British Virgin Islands call with Tortola’s harbour at Road Town, before the route heads north to Saint Maarten and then west again to St. Kitts and Dominica, where rainforest trails bring a welcome break from the sea. A second visit to Willemstad punctuates the return to Barbados.
The Renaissance is small enough to slip into ports larger ships might avoid, keeping the rhythm of the trip steady without long days at sea. Dutch colonial charm, coral reefs, rainforest hikes and busy harbours characterise the horizon around these islands, making for a varied fortnight in the Caribbean sun.
