Cruises in Barbados

Barbados is an excellent hub for exploring the waters of the Caribbean Sea and Bridgetown is a regular port on sailing itineraries. From here several of the region’s best-loved islands are within easy reach, including Saint Lucia, Antigua and Saint Kitts. A cruise on a small sailing vessel such as Royal Clipper allows you to travel in comfort — dine in style either on board or in port, take a dip in one of the plunge pools or enjoy the views from your cabin’s large picture window or viewing deck.

A cruise taking in the Windward Isles is an excellent way to delve into British and French history with stops including Rodney Bay, The Pitons, Falmouth Harbour — once a favourite with Admiral Nelson — Basseterre and the wild and mysterious island of Martinique.
