12 Days: 27 January - 07 February 2024

There is plenty of good anchorages and places to see when cruising among these islands. They also invite you to rent a car and go exploring their natural beauty. Both Guadalupe and Martinique offer swimming in waterfalls and beaches we can only dream of up north. The cuisine is probably the best in the Caribbean and there is plenty of cultural layers to be found and experienced, especially in Martinique and Guadeloupe. We will also visit the rugged and charming Dominica, a real original in the Caribbean.

Maybe a visit to one of the old sugar plantations, a rum distillery, or just go for a longer expedition to the rain forests? The options are almost endless and that's why we have allocated 12 days for the trip for us to get to know the place.
