Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Bridgetown roundtrip onboard Wind Surf.
Discover the warmth of scenic island splendors paired with delicious Caribbean cuisine during this 7-day cruise from Barbados to Dominica, Montserrat, St. Barthélemy, Antiqua, Guadeloupe, and St. Lucia. Swim or snorkel surrounded by brightly colored tropical fish off the shores of Roseau, or stay inland and amble amid Dominica’s most stunning and fragrant flowers at several placid botanical gardens. Meander between historic colonial houses in Nelson’s Dockyard east of Falmouth Harbour, or trek along nearby trails to higher vistas above Antiqua, where British frigates and sloops anchored below centuries ago. Stroll the cobbled streets of Les Saintes, then snack on spongy and sweet tourment d’amour pastries within sight of pastel-hued Saintoise wood fishing boats bobbing in the palm-lined harbor. Glide in an open-air gondola among vibrant tropical birds nestled amid Pigeon Island’s shady rainforest canopy as a naturalist offers insights about the unique characteristics of St. Lucia’s Caribbean oceanic forests.
Highlights of this cruise:
Bridgetown, Barbados
Jolly old England comes to life in the city and its garrison, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further afield, you’ll find historic sugar plantations and the fairyland magic of Harrison’s Cave.
Roseau, Dominica
Get ready for a full day with plenty to do. Snorkel alongside brilliant parrot fish in the bubbly waters of Champagne Beach. Take a break to enjoy more than 150 species of plants and brilliant red-necked Jaco parrots at the botanical gardens. If you’re up for an optional hike, don’t miss Boiling Lake and the Valley of Desolation at Dominica’s Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Little Bay, Montserrat
Today we visit “Pompeii of the Caribbeanâ€â€”an island that is half lush and green, half gray and covered in ash by a volcano in 1995. And if a half-buried city isn’t intriguing enough, there are black-sand beaches and a perplexing Irish heritage to explore.
Gustavia, St. Barthélemy
Affectionately known as St. Barts, the Caribbean’s most chic island adds a French flair to Riviera-like beaches and duty-free boutiques. Walk past gingerbread cottages in search of celebrities, shop for designer fashions, or sip the island’s signature ti punch as kite surfers fly by.
Falmouth Harbour, Antigua
It’s said that Antigua has 365 beaches – one for every day of the year. See how many you can discover as our stay in port stretches into the evening to accommodate them all. Watch the stars come out as darkness falls and imagine how residents of Andromeda must envy you.
Les Saintes, Guadeloupe
This is the Caribbean as you’ve always imagined it, with yacht-filled harbors set against volcanic mountains and endless stretches of palm-fringed beach. The underwater world here attracted the likes of Jacques Cousteau, but even novice snorkelers will enjoy exploring these impossibly blue waters.
Pigeon Island, St. Lucia
The UNESCO site Pitons’ with their two majestic volcanic peaks and 24 miles of vibrant coral reef welcome you to St. Lucia. Nearby Pigeon Island National Park features impressive ruins of English forts, archaeological relics of Arawak Indians, and splendid beaches.
