Eastern Caribbean Islands Cruise

Day 1 - Barbados

Arrive: Sat 12 February 2028 / Depart: Sat 12 February 2028

Watching the Atlantic surf crash down on the rugged east coast of this richly diverse island and, for a moment, you may feel you could be on the Cornish coast but the moment you hear the waves of gospel singing emanating from a tiny local church you realise you could not be anywhere else but Barbados. While, over on the sheltered west coast, the glorious beaches are pure Caribbean. And there are more beaches and a lot more bars, cafés, restaurants and clubs creating a vibrant 24/7 lifestyle on the south coast, too. In the capital and cruise port, Bridgetown, there are intriguing signs of its British colonial past while, across the island, you are really spoilt for choice. You can enjoy every watersport under the sun; stunning nature walks and bike rides; or maybe a trip to the uniquely magnificent Harrisons Cave underground complex of caverns, waterfalls, stalactites and stalagmites.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - St. Kitts

Arrive: Mon 14 February 2028 / Depart: Mon 14 February 2028

If you have ever dreamt of the classic Caribbean island, chances are it looked a lot like St. Kitts. You will recognise that mixture of deserted beaches, sleepy villages, lush rainforest greenery and sugarcane fields and maybe even the mini-mountain range with a dormant volcano in its midst.

Day 4 - Tortola

Arrive: Tue 15 February 2028 / Depart: Tue 15 February 2028

Here, in the beautiful archipelago of the British Virgin islands, the motto is: “The best thing you can do is do nothing.” The “nothing” that Tortola offers you consists of swimming in opalescent waters, basking in glorious sunshine and strolling along beaches of shimmering white sand.

Day 5 - Philipsburg, St Maarten

Arrive: Wed 16 February 2028 / Depart: Wed 16 February 2028

An island with a split personality, this is one of the few places in the Caribbean where the European powers co-existed peacefully. Hence, this lovely island is a mixture of Dutch, French and Caribbean tastes and delights.

Day 6 - At Sea

Day 7 - Dominica

Arrive: Fri 18 February 2028 / Depart: Fri 18 February 2028

Divers will relish the reefs and grottoes of Dominica. On dry land, shimmering waterfalls and dense rainforest offer another sort of beauty.

Day 8 - Antigua, Leeward Islands

Arrive: Sat 19 February 2028

Day 9 - Antigua, Leeward Islands

Depart: Sun 20 February 2028

Day 10 - At Sea

Day 11 - St. Lucia

Arrive: Tue 22 February 2028 / Depart: Tue 22 February 2028

Day 12 - Martinique

Arrive: Wed 23 February 2028 / Depart: Wed 23 February 2028

Martinique is the Caribbean but with a French accent. This will become apparent when you look for a restaurant for lunch and discover menus that wouldn't be out of place at the finest bistros. Elsewhere things revert to type with miles of wonderful beaches and crystal clear waters. Take a trip to mont Pelee if you'd care to see the site of the Caribbean worst ever volcanic eruption.

Day 13 - At Sea

Day 14 - Barbados
