Before the festive season begins in earnest, this 14-night Caribbean cruise offers the chance to slow down and soak up some winter sun. Departing from Barbados, you’ll explore St Lucia’s verdant landscapes, Curaçao’s pastel harbour, Bonaire’s calm beaches and more. It’s a thoughtfully timed escape - warm, peaceful and rich with local flavour. Life on board Renaissance is equally relaxed, with outstanding dining, wide decks, attentive service and just the right amount of entertainment. Whether travelling with loved ones or simply taking time for yourself, this is a well-placed December break that combines adventure with calm, sunshine with stillness, and just enough celebration to feel the magic of the moment.
