About the trip
This 14-night cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Renaissance sets off from Bridgetown, Barbados, slipping south-west and west through the lesser-visited southern islands of the Caribbean. The route takes in Bonaire and Curaçao, two of the ABC islands, where coloured Dutch colonial buildings stack against clear waters and windsurfers seem to outnumber cars.
Guadeloupe and Dominica follow, with their lush hills and, in Dominica’s case, the chance to hear waterfalls from the ship’s deck. After ports in St Vincent and Martinique, Renaissance retraces the route via Curaçao and stops in Aruba, a windier outpost known for its desert-like terrain and Dutch heritage.
The pace is leisurely enough to observe changes in style and landscape across the islands, without the frenzy of a port-a-day marathon. Life onboard is that of a moderate-sized ship, with space to unfurl but without the impersonal scale of the megaships. The cruise closes where it began, at Bridgetown, an 18th-century town that mixes the colonial and the Caribbean with no obvious hurry.
