Windward Ways & Tobago Cays
£2,326pp
Itinerary
Those who love watersports, snorkeling and diving will be on Cloud 9 on this cruise through the Windward and ABC islands. Swim with vibrant fish and friendly sea turtles as you visit ports in Tobago Cays Marine Park, in Bonaire National Marine Park, and in the proposed Speyside Marine Protected Area. Paddleboard right from the Watersports Platform as we visit smaller ports and less-visited bays away from the crowds. And when you’ve had your fill of ocean action (if you ever do), head to shore and explore colorful Dutch colonial harbors, sugar-white beaches and mouthwatering island cuisines.
Day to Day Itinerary
| Date | Country | Port | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Aruba | Oranjestad | |
|
Known for having some of the best beaches in the Caribbean, this Dutch port makes it easy to just ... take it easy. Walk through town to choose your favorite carved wooden door, or spend the day like the Arubans do playing dominos at a beachside table. |
|||
| Day 2 | Bonaire | Kralendijk | |
|
The ice cream colors of the stucco houses will draw your lens, as will the pink flamingos on the salt pans. But you'll need a waterproof camera to complete the portrait since more than 400 fish species and 50 types of coral wait beneath the surface |
|||
| Day 4 | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines | Kingstown | |
|
Charming Kingstown, the capital and main commercial center of St. Vincent & the Grenadines is known for its churches, cobblestone streets, colonial buildings and the St. Vincent Botanical Gardens, founded in 1765. Steep hills surround the town, with Fort Charlotte sitting high on a ridge north of the city, offering panoramic views of Kingstown and the surrounding islands. Other sites to see include St. George's Anglican Cathedral, an 1820s structure adorned with stained glass windows, St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral, built in 1823, with its lovely Gothic spires and Romanesque columns and arches. |
|||
| Day 5 | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines | Port Elizabeth, Bequia | |
|
The only ships in port are those small enough to anchor alongside the yachts and fishing boats in Admiralty Bay. Bequia's whaling heritage is on display in the museum in pretty Port Elizabeth, or watch the island's famed model boat builders at work on their miniature masterpieces. |
|||
| Day 6 | Saint Vincent and the Grenadines | Mayreau Island | |
|
With fewer than 300 inhabitants and miles of secluded beaches, it's easy to feel as if you're on your own private island. Saline Bay is a delightful anchorage that separates the Caribbean from the Atlantic - and a perfect place to play with some of the toys from the Watersports Platform. |
|||
| Day 8 | Barbados | Bridgetown | |
|
Jolly old England comes to life in the city and its garrison, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further afield, you'll find historic sugar plantations and the fairyland magic of Harrison's Cave. |
