This 18-night sailing offers a unique way to travel - crossing the Atlantic from Barbados to Portsmouth entirely by sea. Begin among the palm-fringed bays of St Lucia before journeying north through the Azores, where volcanic landscapes meet the open ocean. Between ports, long sea days invite you to unwind, read, reflect and enjoy the slower rhythm of life on board Renaissance. Full-board dining, friendly service and a full programme of entertainment ensure comfort and ease throughout. As you sail steadily toward home, the air cools, the light softens, and the sense of journey deepens. You’ll arrive in Portsmouth rested, restored and with a richer connection to the world - a true traveller’s return.
