    Day Date Port of Call Arrival Departure
    1 Saturday, January 18, 2025 Fort-de-France, Martinique Embark 9:00 PM
    View of Fort-de-France, Martinique

    Martinique is a Caribbean island that is an overseas department of France. It truly is a ‘little bit of France’, and visitors quickly become aware that very little English is spoken.

    Kingstown is the chief port of the island of St Vincent and the capital of the St Vincent and the Grenadines island nation in the Southern Caribbean. Often referred to as the ‘City of Arches’, Kingstown is a lively town, and the close proximity of the wharf adds vitality, noise, and colour to the small but busy capital. Arches, cobbled streets, magnificent churches and historic stone buildings blend with the functional and the modern. Read more about Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Soufrière's backdrop of the Pitons – a World Heritage Site comprising two giant volcanic plugs, the sea and inland rainforest provide a picture-perfect setting for a visit to this laid-back and relatively undeveloped town. Considering that its name is French for "sulfur," it should be no surprise to discover the wealth of hot springs and mineral baths. Read more about Soufrière, Saint Lucia
