Tracing a route rich in contrast, this 14 night southern Caribbean cruise sails from Bridgetown, Barbados on board Renaissance, from Curacao's candy coloured waterfront and Bonaire's coral reefs to Guadeloupe's volcanic trails and St Kitts' hilltop fortress. Wander Antigua's historic harbour and sample its famous rum, hike Dominica's rainforest trails, browse Grenada's spice markets, then let St Lucia's dramatic Pitons close out a voyage built on variety and warm island welcomes.

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.

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.
