Departing Bridgetown, Barbados on this 14 night southern Caribbean cruise, guests climb aboard Renaissance to explore the volcanic beauty of Guadeloupe, the dual nation charm of St Maarten and Tortola's celebrated sailing waters. Sample rum in Antigua's historic dockyard, browse Grenada's fragrant spice groves and snorkel Bonaire's pristine reefs, then wander Curacao's rainbow streets before Dominica's rainforest trails. A return call at Guadeloupe and Martinique's French Creole charm round out this vibrant voyage.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Kralendijk
Bonaire is a destination built almost entirely around what lies beneath the waves, with its protected marine park offering some of the world's most accessible shore diving straight from the coastline. Guests are kayaking through mangrove forests, cycling past pink flamingo colonies at Pekelmeer, and exploring Kralendijk's relaxed waterfront between dives. For anyone drawn to the water, Bonaire rarely disappoints.

Roseau
Nicknamed the Nature Island, Dominica is built for guests who'd rather hike than lounge. Trails are leading through dense rainforest toward the Boiling Lake and Trafalgar Falls, while river tubing offers a cooler, splashier pace. Offshore, sperm whales are frequently surfacing, drawing wildlife-watching boats out from Roseau. It's raw, wild, and largely untouched, rewarding those willing to trade sand for adventure.

Pointe-à-Pitre
Shaped like a butterfly and rich in contrast, Guadeloupe is inviting guests to hike volcanic La Soufrière on one wing and relax on Grande-Terre's white sand beaches on the other. Basse-Terre's national park is threading waterfalls and rainforest trails through dramatic scenery, while Pointe-à-Pitre's markets are bursting with colour and Creole spice. Two islands, one destination, endlessly rewarding for the curious guest.
