	23rd23	DecDec	202222	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.
	24th24	DecDec	202222	Port Elizabeth, Bequia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Bequia is a Carib word meaning "island of the cloud." Hilly and green with several golden-sand beaches, Bequia is 9 miles (14½ km) south of St. Vincent's southwestern shore; with a population of 5,000, it's the largest of the Grenadines. Although boatbuilding, whaling, and fishing have been the predominant industries here for generations, sailing has now become almost synonymous with Bequia. Admiralty Bay is a favored anchorage for both privately owned and chartered yachts. Lodgings range from comfortable resorts and villas to cozy West Indian—style inns. Bequia's airport and the frequent ferry service from St. Vincent make this a favorite destination for day-trippers, as well. The ferry docks in Port Elizabeth, a tiny town with waterfront bars, restaurants, and shops where you can buy handmade souvenirs—including the exquisitely detailed model sailboats that are a famous Bequia export. The Easter Regatta is held during the four-day Easter weekend, when revelers gather to watch boat races and celebrate the island's seafaring traditions with food, music, dancing, and competitive games.To see the views, villages, beaches, and boatbuilding sites around Bequia, hire a taxi at the jetty in Port Elizabeth. Several usually line up under the almond trees to meet each ferry from St. Vincent.
	25th25	DecDec	202222	At Sea
	26th26	DecDec	202222	Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
This small group of islands lies opposite the western part of Guadeloupe. They were discovered in November 1493 by Columbus, who named them Los Santos. French settlers established themselves in 1648 and changed the name to Iles des Saintes, commonly known as Les Saintes. Since then the islands have been closely connected with Guadeloupe. Until a recent influx of tourism, Les Saintes were among the Caribbean’s most unspoiled destinations. Only two of the eight islands are inhabited: Terre-de-Bas and Terre-de-Haut. The latter is known for its impressive Fort Napoleon built in the early 19th century to replace an earlier 17th-century fort. From its vantage point there are fine views of the many tiny islets scattered in the bay and across to Guadeloupe. Terre-de-Haut is the main island of Les Saintes, with steeply scarped hills, scenic valleys, hidden coves and beautiful beaches. Its main settlement consists of a charming village of red-roofed houses situated along a curving bay. A number of small boutiques and gift shops invite browsing. Quaint cafés and restaurants offer food and drink. To the east of the village lies Grande Anse, a fine sand beach. Most of the attractions on this small island can be seen on foot. With just a few vehicles on the island, there are no organized tours possible. Time ashore here is at your leisure.
	27th27	DecDec	202222	Roseau, Dominica
Although it's one of the smallest capitals in the Caribbean, Roseau has the highest concentration of inhabitants of any town in the eastern Caribbean. Caribbean vernacular architecture and a bustling marketplace transport visitors back in time. Although you can walk the entire town in about an hour, you'll get a much better feel for the place on a leisurely stroll. For some years now, the Society for Historical Architectural Preservation and Enhancement (SHAPE) has organized programs and projects to preserve the city's architectural heritage. Several interesting buildings have already been restored. Lilac House, on Kennedy Avenue, has three types of gingerbread fretwork, latticed verandah railings, and heavy hurricane shutters. The J.W. Edwards Building, at the corner of Old and King George V sreets, has a stone base and a wooden second-floor gallery. The Old Market Plaza is the center of Roseau's historic district, which was laid out by the French on a radial plan rather than a grid, so streets such as Hanover, King George V, and Old radiate from this area. South of the marketplace is the Fort Young Hotel, built as a British fort in the 18th century; the nearby statehouse, public library, and Anglican cathedral are also worth a visit. New developments at the bay front on Dame M.E. Charles Boulevard have brightened up the waterfront.

Restaurant

Breakfast, lunch and daytime offerings can be traditional or light and fresh; there will always be dishes with a local flavour. Our buffet selections are designed to ensure that the most stringent health and safety standards are met.

One of the highlights of the day will be a full-service dinner served over two levels in our spectacular main dining room. A selection of wines and beers are complimentary during meal hours in the main dining room for lunch and dinner.

Room Service

We have a more relaxed side, too. There’s 24-hour complimentary room service*, so you can have a lazy breakfast in bed. If your cabin has a balcony, you can enjoy lunch or dinner – and a front-row view of the ocean – in private. If the sea breeze and sails are calling, head to the open-air Horizon Bar for lunch in the sunshine; with the chance to sneak a treat from our late afternoon ‘Deck Delights’ trolley service.

Marina

Our marina platform at the stern is a focal point for many of our voyages, providing access to water sports equipment which includes kayaks, sailing dinghies, water skis and wakeboards. Guests will also be able to enjoy swimming and snorkelling from the marina.

A resident destination speaker will provide guests with engaging insights, specifically related to the voyage and ports of call.

Movie’s will also be played in the multimedia room, unless there is a movie showing up on deck under the stars.

Library

The library, which overlooks the wake of the ship, is a great place to read and take a break from the days activities. The library will be stocked with a wide selection of books, with a focus on travel, destinations and maritime history. The library will also host an area for board games and is home to the shore excursions desk where guests can find out about the various shore excursions on offer, and book their chosen trips.

Piano Bar

We have two outside bars, both offer stunning views, and a piano bar which is perfect for enjoying a drink with new friends. Elsewhere, our premium beverage bar, Debeljak’s, is stocked with some of the world’s finest gins and whisky.

Our resident pianist and musical duo will entertain guests with a repertoire ranging from jazz/swing to contemporary music.
