Experience Martinique’s French-Caribbean charm, docking just across the Bay of Fort-de-France from the capital.

Cruise to Saint Lucia’s yachting centre on the island’s north coast. Head to Soufrière, home to one of the Caribbean’s only “drive-in” volcanoes and the best place to enjoy views of the world-famous Pitons. Alternatively, stay closer by, perhaps snorkelling at Pigeon Island, where clear waters teem with colourful fish, sea turtles and rays.

Your cruise concludes with a morning arrival in Barbados on day nine, followed by a six-night post-cruise stay at the Coral Reef Club.
