Celebrate Christmas Day at sea with all the trimmings, before a final call at Basseterre's turquoise coves and white-sand beaches and returning to Barbados to conclude your Caribbean Christmas adventure.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Bridgetown
Stepping ashore in Barbados, guests are trading the sun lounger for a catamaran deck, sailing along the west coast before diving into turquoise water alongside gliding sea turtles. Bridgetown's rum shops are pouring stories as rich as their spirits, while the Garrison Historic Area is revealing centuries of seafaring heritage. It's an island built for curiosity, offering something new around every coastal bend, and inviting guests back for more.

Castries
Rising dramatically from the sea, the Pitons are setting the scene for a day of genuine adventure. Guests are ziplining through rainforest canopy, soaking in bubbling volcanic mud baths, and hiking trails that open onto impossibly green valleys. Soufrière's fishing village charm is offering a slower, sociable counterpoint. St Lucia rewards those chasing both adrenaline and awe, proving paradise and adventure aren't mutually exclusive.

Road Town
As the gateway to the British Virgin Islands' famous sailing waters, Road Town is putting boats, not buses, at the centre of the day. Guests are chartering yachts out toward The Baths on Virgin Gorda, paddleboarding calm harbour waters, or browsing the town's compact market for local spices and rum. Come afternoon, Cane Garden Bay's beach bars are calling for one more swim before sunset.
