16th16 | DecDec | 202121 | Bridgetown, Barbados, embark on the Golden Horizon | ||||
Located beside the island’s only natural harbour, the capital of Barbados combines modern and colonial architecture with glorious palm tree-lined beaches and a number of historical attractions. Experience the relaxed culture of the city renowned for its British-style parliament buildings and vibrant beach life, and seek out the Anglican church and the 19th-century Barbados Garrison. The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary. This distance is not included in the excursion grades. The charismatic capital of Barbados is Bridgetown, where you’ll find a fusion of traditional British heritage and Caribbean cool. Worn candy-coloured buildings line the streets, contrasting against the city’s upscale boutiques, duty-free shopping malls and fine-dining restaurants. It’s a charmer, with a story to tell at every turn. \par \par Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which dates back to the 17th century, and you can explore the city’s colonial heritage at the Barbados Museum and George Washington House. Rum fan? Barbados is considered the birthplace, and the world’s oldest rum distillery is based in Bridgetown, so head to Mount Gay for a tour and tasting. Once you’ve explored the city’s foodie hotspots and art galleries, kick back on the beach. For watersports, Brownes Beach is your go-to, or take it easy on the white sands of Carlisle Bay – excellent for snorkelling and diving in the popular marine park. | |||||||

18th18 | DecDec | 202121 | Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy | ||||
You can easily explore all of Gustavia during a two-hour stroll. Some shops close from noon to 3 or 4, so plan lunch accordingly, but stores stay open past 7 in the evening. Parking in Gustavia is a challenge, especially during vacation times. A good spot to park is rue de la République, alongside the catamarans, yachts, and sailboats. Gustavia is the small, sophisticated capital of St Barts (Saint Barthélemy), home to spades of stylish bars, restaurants and boutiques. As the super-yachts moored in the harbour suggest, this is one of the Caribbean’s A-list destinations. It’s a fantastic spot for people watching, so take a seat at a waterfront café and let the jet-set scene unfold. This tropical town has a sense of soul and history too, with its historic buildings and 17th-century forts built by the Swedish to protect the harbour. Stroll to Fort Gustaf in the south for sweeping views of Gustavia. Slip down to Shell Beach below for a swim or head off on an island boat tour to discover deserted beaches and a wild, rugged coastline, a world away from St Barts’ glamorous beach club-reputation. | |||||||
19th19 | DecDec | 202121 | Basseterre, Saint Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis | ||||
Mountainous St. Kitts, the first English settlement in the Leeward Islands, crams some stunning scenery into its 65 square miles (168 square km). Vast, brilliant green fields of sugarcane (the former cash crop, now slowly being replanted) run to the shore. The fertile, lush island has some fascinating natural and historical attractions: a rain forest replete with waterfalls, thick vines, and secret trails; a central mountain range dominated by the 3,792-foot Mt. Liamuiga, whose crater has long been dormant; and Brimstone Hill, known in the 18th century as the Gibraltar of the West Indies. St. Kitts and Nevis, along with Anguilla, achieved self-government as an associated state of Great Britain in 1967. In 1983 St. Kitts and Nevis became an independent nation. English with a strong West Indian lilt is spoken here. People are friendly but shy; always ask before you take photographs. Also, be sure to wear wraps or shorts over beach attire when you're in public places. Bustling Basseterre is the gateway to laid-back St Kitts, with its lovely long stretches of sand and lush hills. This pretty port city oozes charm, so linger a while and wander around the historic squares and buildings, stopping off in one of the great places to eat or colourful shops offering all kinds of duty-free souvenirs. Find out about the island’s history at the vast 17th-century Brimstone Hill Fortress on the isle’s west coast. A ride on the narrow-gauge railway is another island must-do. Built in the 1900s to transport sugar from the cane fields to Basseterre, it now takes passengers on a dazzling coastal ride around the slopes of Mount Liamuiga. You can snorkel in glass-clear waters, walk through towering trees on a rainforest adventure or try rum tasting at Fairview Great Hall, where you can try a range of flavours and have the chance to learn what life was like on a plantation in the 1700 and 1800s. | |||||||
20th20 | DecDec | 202121 | Falmouth, Antigua and Barbuda | ||||
The British colonial influence is everywhere in pretty English Harbour. And yet, located on Antigua’s south coast, you are just minutes away from some of the loveliest beaches in the Caribbean. With its long ribbons of white sandy shores including the superbly named Rendez-Vous Bay Beach, the cold English drizzle and chimes of big ben have never been farther away! English Harbour is how the Caribbean is meant to be. Beautifully restored, the area still retains much in the way of its rich historic past. Nelson’s dockyard is absolutely not to be missed; a working dockyard that dates from the 18th century, this is part of a larger UNESCO World Heritage Site (Nelson’s Dockyard and National Park) which also contains Clarence House and Shirley Heights. Perhaps one of the best examples of British colonial development, the dockyard is named after the famous Admiral who lived on the island in the 1780’s. The fascinating naval history is palpable in all the buildings of this historic site and just a little further along you find beautifully restored warehouses that are now home to enchanting restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and hotels, all proudly stating their historic credentials on prominent, easy to read signs. Venturing beyond the “town” and you’ll find nature trails for all levels of fitness. Famous for having 365 different beaches, it is unsurprising then that a lot of Antiguan life takes place on its sandy shores. Beaches here offer all things to everyone so whether you want to rekindle the romance, indulge in some adrenaline fueled water sports, swim, snorkel or sail your way around the island, you’re sure to find you’re your own personal paradise here. Antigua has a beach for every day of the year. The wide stretches of golden sand edge calm coral-sheltered waters, perfect for swimming, snorkelling and chilled-out days doing very little. It’s hard to choose between the 365 beaches, but don’t overlook the island’s adventurous side. You can zip-line through the rainforest or explore during an off-road island safari. Try kayaking through the mangroves; dive to amazing sites such as the Jettias Wreck; or hike up to Shirley Heights Lookout for staggering views out over the island – the climb is well worth it. \par History-wise, you can take a walking tour through the city of St. John’s or spend time in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of English Harbour. When it comes to a freshly-brewed morning coffee, stroll among the red-roofed buildings of Falmouth Harbour and you’ll find a string of waterfront cafés to choose from. | |||||||
21st21 | DecDec | 202121 | At Sea | ||||
22nd22 | DecDec | 202121 | Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia | ||||
Rodney Bay is bursting with Caribbean charm. You’ll find this horseshoe-shaped bay on the northwest tip of stunning Saint Lucia. By day, the pace is relaxed, but by night the town has a little twinkle in its eye and streets come alive with the sound of reggae beats and the heady scent of barbecues. \par Reduit Beach is a favourite in Rodney Bay. Expect soft white sands and rainforest views. It’s a great place to try out watersports like paddle boarding, kayaking or windsurfing, as the sea is clear-as-glass and very calm, or just kick back and spend your time swimming and sunbathing. \par Rodney Bay Marina is one of the Caribbean’s biggest yachting marinas, so swing by one of its glamorous bars for a cocktail and views of the flamboyant boats bobbing in the water. You could explore the small fishing village of Gros Islet and tuck into fresh seafood at one of its local fish shacks; or take a 10-minute drive to Pigeon Island National Park. Once used as a hideout for pirate gangs, this national park has a vibrant history – and the views from here are astounding. Alternatively, head south to see the Twin Pitons, the island’s most iconic landmark; or the bubbling mud baths and drive-in volcano nearby. | |||||||
