About the trip
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.
