A two-week Ambassador cruise aboard Renaissance visiting a string of Caribbean islands from Barbados, through Bonaire, Guadeloupe and Martinique, to Aruba and St. Lucia, before returning to Barbados.

The coral reefs and salt flats of Bonaire
The Dutch colonial architecture of Willemstad, Curacao
Markets and forts at Fort-de-France, Martinique
Rainforest hills around Roseau, Dominica
Volcanic peaks visible from Kingstown, St. Vincent
This 14-night cruise aboard Ambassador’s Renaissance embarks from Barbados and rounds the southern and eastern Caribbean with a series of island stops. It begins with Bonaire’s salt flats and coral reefs, then moves to Curacao’s Willemstad with its Dutch colonial buildings, before touching Guadeloupe’s Pointe-à-Pitre, a port with its own Creole rhythms.

Further west, the ship calls at Dominica’s rainforest-dense hills and St Vincent’s capital, Kingstown, where volcanoes loom on the horizon. Fort-de-France in Martinique offers markets and old forts, followed by visits to Aruba and Castries in St Lucia. Willemstad reappears before the cruise completes a full circuit back at Barbados.
Renaissance is modest in size, able to slip easily between ports that larger liners might bypass. This is a steady-paced cruise, with time to notice details such as Bonaire’s flamingos or Martinique’s colourful street markets. It’s a relaxed way to traverse several islands rather than race between them.
