Sailing ship cruise: Grenadines from Barbados, Caribbean

Boarding on Saturday up to an hour before departure. Our adventure starts from the Port of Bridgetown, a fascinating city with a lively soul, where you can breathe the ancient English colonial influence. Visit the famous Trafalgar Square, or admire the typical coastlines of the Barbados, jagged but characterized by golden beaches with reddish shades, reminiscent of the Sahara.

We leave immediately after a great breakfast, and reach the enchanting Grenadine islands, thirty islands of pure white sand and unspoiled nature. We will stay at anchor near one of these, for a pleasant day of relaxation and to charge ourselves up with vitamin D.

We sail to our next destination. Our senses will be delighted by the aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla that cook in the sun: these are the tropical flavors of Grenada. We follow the Sendall tunnel (built by hand in 1895) up to the Esplanade and the old Ft. George for a spectacular view of the fantastic panorama, of a still largely untouched nature.

We dash back through the white waves, and discover four small islands, practically deserted but extremely attractive. The Tobago Cays are in fact a national park where snorkeling is exceptional, a paradise for water activities, where we will explore colorful reefs and fish never seen before!

The Star Clipper is usually found in the crag of the young and rugged island of Young Island, just 54 feet from the southern tip of St. Vincent, just 10 minutes by ferry. We'll visit Kingstown and explore the natural harbor of Port Elizabeth in Bequia and the splendid promenade, which will invite us to take a gentle walk along the harbor.

So we reach Martinique, the classic French Caribbean island. Wild and mysterious, but urban and sophisticated: it is France with a tropical touch, with something for almost everyone. You won't be able to resist the charm of spicy Creole cuisine and the tempting boutiques of Fort de France.

After an abundant breakfast, we head towards the Windward, in particular towards Santa Lucia. Extremely rich in rainforests, banana plantations, palm-lined beaches and even a volcano, we will be able to observe the magnificent waterfalls of Diamond Falls and walk through the natural gardens, with the opportunity to take a dip in the pool below the falls. The main attractions are certainly the "Pitons", two volcanic cones that rise and emerge out of the sea, symbols of the island. Let yourself be pampered by the hospitality of the inhabitants of Soufrière, and explore the local fishing villages, which seem to never age.

Return to Bridgetown Harbour and disembarkation expected in the morning, by 10.00 hrs, after the last breakfast on board.
