Colours of the Caribbean / Caribbean Charms Cruise

Day 1 - La Romana

Arrive: Tue 17 February 2026 / Depart: Tue 17 February 2026 at 20:00

A Caribbean and Latin-fused favourite, it’s easy to see why Columbus labelled the Dominican Republic as ‘the fairest land under heaven’. It’s got all the tropical ingredients you could wish for. And this southeast corner is no exception. Shop for jewellery made of locally mined amber. Feast on the Spanish, African and Taino cuisine. Or explore the Chavron River, which landed a starring role in the film ‘Apocalypse Now’.......

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Basseterre, St. Kitts

Arrive: Thu 19 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 19 February 2026 at 20:00

One of the British Leeward Islands, St Kitts is one of the Caribbean’s pearls. Once an illustrious sugar colony, it now focuses its efforts on being a tropical paradise. And it excels in every sense, with its seductive blend of blonde sands and duck-egg blue seas. Away from the shores though, you’ll find plenty of historic sights to tick off your checklist. Or why not pop across to the neighbouring island of Nevis, which is just three kilometres over The Narrows channel?......

Day 4 - Roseau

Arrive: Fri 20 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 20 February 2026 at 18:00

Known as the island of waterfalls, Dominica is as green as it is unspoilt. Fairly off the tourist trail, this exotic isle is a paradise for nature lovers. In fact, it’s one of the Caribbean hotspots for scuba-diving and rainforest trekking. And of course, it’s got some superb beaches. Not the snow-white variety you’d expect, but dramatic volcanic sweeps and secluded coves hidden by greenery. Have your camera at the......

Day 5 - St John's, Antigua

Arrive: Sat 21 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 21 February 2026 at 18:00

If you’re a big fan of the beach, prepare to lose your heart to this place. Antiguans like to boast they have a different one for every day of the year. Without doubt, porcelain, palm-fringed sands and still turquoise waters are the star of this island show. But that’s not all Antigua’s got to boast about. Get ready for towns in a rainbow riot of colours. Quiet countryside that slumbers in the sunshine. And cuisine as sublime as those moon-white shores......

Day 6 - Harbour Road, Tortola

Arrive: Sun 22 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 22 February 2026 at 16:00

Nature’s the star attraction in the British Virgin Islands. We dock at Tortola, the biggest isle. Here, ancient rainforests hog the limelight, beautiful botanical gardens vie for your attention, and opal-white beaches like Apple Bay and Smuggler’s Cove really steal the show. It’s wild. It’s wondrous. It’s waiting.......

Day 7 - Samana (Dominican Republic)

Arrive: Mon 23 February 2026 at 11:00 / Depart: Mon 23 February 2026 at 18:00

When Christopher Columbus docked here back in the 15th century, the region made quite an impression. Fast forward 500-odd years and the good-looking slice of the Dominican Republic is still melting hearts. Coconut-covered mountains march down to the sea. Crystal streams wind their way through lush forests. And virgin sands lie waiting to be discovered. If it’s untouched Caribbean you’re after, look no further.......

Day 8 - La Romana

Arrive: Tue 24 February 2026 at 20:00 / Depart: Tue 24 February 2026

A Caribbean and Latin-fused favourite, it’s easy to see why Columbus labelled the Dominican Republic as ‘the fairest land under heaven’. It’s got all the tropical ingredients you could wish for. And this southeast corner is no exception. Shop for jewellery made of locally mined amber. Feast on the Spanish, African and Taino cuisine. Or explore the Chavron River, which landed a starring role in the film ‘Apocalypse Now’.......

Day 9 - Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Arrive: Wed 25 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 25 February 2026 at 18:00

Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and one of the Caribbean's oldest cities. Its walled, cobblestoned historic core, the Zona Colonial, has buildings that date to the 1500s, including the cathedral, which was the first built in the New World. On the cafe-lined Plaza de España is the Alcázar de Colón palace. It’s now one of the city’s many museums, displaying notable medieval and Renaissance art.

Day 10 - At Sea

Day 11 - Willemstad, Curacao

Arrive: Fri 27 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 27 February 2026 at 20:00

This little Dutch island is slowly beginning to creep onto the tourist radar, and for good reason. It offers up an unbeatable mix of footprint-free beaches and pretty colonial towns. The storybook port of Willemstad leads the pack, with its candy-coloured, red-roofed houses that gild the downtown area. It’s such an impressive sight, UNESCO have even granted the town a place on its World Heritage list.......

Day 12 - Oranjestad, Aruba

Arrive: Sat 28 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 28 February 2026 at 20:00

Nowhere showcases Aruba’s Dutch roots quite like Oranjestad. With its gable-topped houses and colonial clock towers, the island’s good-looking capital is like a little slice of Amsterdam. Of course, it’s got some only-in-the-Caribbean touches, too. Palm trees flutter in the breeze. Hourglass-fine sands stretch on for miles. And colourful wooden huts serve up a winning combination of fresh seafood and strong rum cocktails.......

Day 13 - Bonaire

Arrive: Sun 01 March 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 01 March 2026 at 18:00

If you’re in any doubt concerning what Bonaire’s all about, just look at an island number plate – above every registration number you’ll find the words ‘Divers’ Paradise’. This island in the Leeward Antilles is consistently rated as one of the best dive and snorkelling destinations in the world. Shipwrecks, tropical fish and seahorses are ripe in the waters that surround the island. Above the waterline, meanwhile, there are wild flamingo herds to see and craggy national parks to explore.

Day 14 - At Sea

Day 15 - La Romana

A Caribbean and Latin-fused favourite, it’s easy to see why Columbus labelled the Dominican Republic as ‘the fairest land under heaven’. It’s got all the tropical ingredients you could wish for. And this southeast corner is no exception. Shop for jewellery made of locally mined amber. Feast on the Spanish, African and Taino cuisine.
