We not too long ago went on a Caribbean Cruise on the Royal Clipper (a part of the Starclippers Tall Crusing Ships). They provide quite a lot of itineraries and there are two smaller ships you possibly can select from: the Star Clipper & the Star Flyer. The Royal Clipper’s capability is roughly 227 whereas the opposite two can accommodate round 170 passengers. For us, the Royal Clipper was an ideal match because it supplies all the posh trimmings of a bigger cruise ship however with the intimacy of a small crusing expertise.
Let’s check out our Caribbean expertise and what you are able to do on every of the islands.
A seaside on Martinique
Dominica
We spent the least period of time in Dominica, so we weren’t capable of lease a jeep to discover the gems that make this island such a marvel. It isn’t the place the place you’ll discover white sandy seashores, largely due to its volcanic origin however this isn’t the explanation you go to. You see, the island is roofed by dense rainforests however amongst the thick of it, you’ll discover volcanic pristine lakes and gorgeous waterfalls. You’re most likely questioning if there’s a volcano? Cabrits is an extinct volcano which at one time was by itself, however in a while grew to become related to mainland Dominica.
We approached Dominica on a smaller shuttle boat, and as we had been coming into the port of Cabrits, we might see the density of the forests all through the island in addition to the fog. Lush is the phrase that greatest describes this island.
As you disembark, it’s a brief stroll to Cabrit’s Nationwide Park, which is about within the northeast. The tropical forest is inviting as is the plush inexperienced in all instructions, marshland making up a part of it. We noticed loads of doves and herons throughout our hike. Fact be advised, I hoped to not meet up with a snake although the strolling path was fairly broad.
Additionally close by is Fort Shirley, which was previously a army outpost from yesteryear. Constructed by the British within the 18th century, it as soon as had over fifty buildings. Restoration started in 1989 though solely a handful of the buildings are restored and the remainder are ruins which you’ll find in case you have sufficient time to discover the realm.
Under are a couple of of the work inside the principle fortress.
What else is value understanding about Dominica? You’ll be able to swim and snorkel in Douglas Bay. It has been influenced by each French and English tradition, which implies that though English is the dominant language, many nonetheless converse Creole. When you’ve got time to discover a few of the waterfalls, it’s a worthwhile use of your time on the island.
You can even take an Indian River Boat Cruise, an awesome selection for nature lovers. The river stems from the Kalinago folks, previously referred to as Carib Indians. On the cruise, you might be more likely to spot herons, kingfishers and iguanas. Its oozing with life. I used to be advised that the Pirates of the Caribbean was filed right here.

On a unusual word, Cabrits comes from the phrase goat in French, Portuguese and Spanish. When you’ve got time to attempt a few of their native Avocado pear juice, it’s value attempting. Additionally they have soursop (I keep in mind this from dwelling in Africa), Passionfruit, Grapefruit and Beetroot (yum!). In case you’re a bear drinker, order a Kubuli and calm down at one in every of their cafes. Though you should utilize U.S. {dollars}, their native foreign money is the Jap Caribbean Greenback – I purposely did an change as I accumulate notes from around the globe.
Two extra issues to notice: the Syndicate Nationwide Park Nature Path (a tour you possibly can guide beginning off in Portsmouth) and the Love & Chocolate Tour. The character path takes you to roughly 2,000 ft the place you possibly can see beautiful birds in addition to native natural world. Chook lovers will wish to be aware of the uncommon nationwide birds, the Sisserou and the Jaco Parrot. The Love & Chocolate Tour takes place at Pointe Baptiste Property close to the Calibishie Village. There’s a chocolate manufacturing unit right here surrounded by gorgeous gardens. It’s a family-run enterprise and the cocoa beans are grown and harvested sustainably on the property.
Antiqua & Barbuda
Within the West, a minimum of within the trendy world, we all know the island by Antigua, which implies historic in Spanish though it’s technically >Antigua and Barbuda, which grew to become an impartial state throughout the Commonwealth of Nations in 1981. That mentioned, locals consult with it as Waladi or <robust>Wadadl</strongi, as I rapidly realized after I began chatting with somebody on the first store I walked into.
It’s a small island, so in case you have an opportunity to get to its capital — St. Johns within the northwest — it’s value going. It tends to attract in bigger cruise ships so that you would possibly wish to keep away from peak season. There are fascinating artisan crafts and work to be discovered right here; nonetheless, and likewise an awesome spot for cafes and eating places.
Provided that we had been such a small ship, we stopped at Falmouth Harbor. Right here, we walked to >Nelson’s Dockyard (named after Captain Horatio Nelson), which is a restored British colonial naval station. In some methods, it jogged my memory of a New England port. I might really feel the Western affect; it was no shock to study their annual regatta that brings in lots of ships and yachts for the occasion. Within the north, there are different marinas as effectively — Sammy’s Boat Yard Marina and Catamaran Marina, for many who wish to expertise a marina vibe for drinks or lunch. I spent a bit of time on the dockyard earlier than taking a hike.
While you first arrive on the harbor, you’re greeted with views of yachts and ships in all instructions, so each brief and longer walks across the island (particularly heading up hill) are all value doing.
Banana timber will be discovered scattered alongside a few of the winding paths
<strongNelson’s Dockyard additionally has a couple of retailers, cafes and locations to hang around, each inside and outside. As a cultural heritage website, additionally it is a part of Saint Paul Parish as effectively. Dotted across the very walkable space are buildings the place the structure is remnant of its English affect. For instance, Clarence Home and Shirley Heights are amongst the nationwide park, which btw, can be a UNESCO World Heritage Website.</robust
The brick partitions had me at hiya so I frolicked for some time chatting with locals, grabbing a cuppa espresso and absorbing the flavour of the place.
The views had been spectacular and the water, clear blue and pristine. Just a few seashores value mentioning embrace Galleon Seaside near Falmouth Habour, Pigeon Seaside and Marl Bay Seaside.
Additionally value noting right here is you could go kayak and snorkel. To get to the place the tour kicks off, you could head to Seaton’s Village on the Northeast coast of Antigua. Then it requires a 15 minute motorboat switch to the mangrove pontoon the place you decide up your kayak. Right here, you possibly can discover inlets, uninhabited islands, mangrove alleys and exquisite bays.

You can even jet ski or swim and snorkel with the rays at Stingray Metropolis, which is about amongst coral reefs, additionally within the Northeast coast. Additionally they have Cover Excursions on the island, which takes you thru the plush rain forest. The Rangers at >Antigua Rainforest Firm set you up earlier than you embark upon a tree prime journey by way of the timber on zip strains. The zip strains vary from 52 to 328 ft in size, crossing the breathtaking gorge. In case you’re an avid zip liner, the main points embrace 12 zip strains, 3 aerial walkways and two suspension bridges. You get to see a rock pool and a waterfalls as a part of the expertise as effectively.
Not fascinated by water or nature? You’ll be able to learn to make your individual rum. It’s a 90-minute Rum Masterclass that leaves you with a 750 ml bottle of flavored rum. You additionally study the artwork of tasting and mixing your run through the distillation course of to create a job personalized only for you. How enjoyable proper? Through the class, you additionally get to personalize your individual label as effectively, which makes for an awesome present.
Fact be advised, I by no means actually appreciated rum in my twenties and my thirties, however I made a decision to attempt a few of the native rum wherever they provided it on the islands, and I’ve a newfound appreciation for it. After a couple of samples, you start to see the artwork in each creating it and ingesting it.

Martinique
Cruise ships are likely to cease at Tourelles (the previous port) or at Pointe Simon (in downtown Fort-de-France). Martinique’s capital Fort-De-France has a historic fort, neighborhoods to discover (Didier, Bellevue and Schoelcher — you could take a taxi since they’re on the hillside) and seashores, comparable to La Francaise, which tends to get busy from cruise passengers. Within the fort, there’s a 12.5 acre park known as >La Savane, which has lovely fountains, benches, timber and flora. Close by, you possibly can seize ferries (roughly 20 minutes to get throughout the bay to Pointe Du Bout) and right here you possibly can go to close by seashores Anse-Mitan and Anse-a-l’Ane.

You’ll be able to take a tour that explores the south of the island or take a clear-bottom kayak at Ache de Sucre adopted by time to hang around on the seaside. Our vote was spending time within the village of Anses d’Arlet, the place we explored the neighboring space on foot and took a swim within the sea. We additionally had a couple of Pina Coladas alongside the best way.
The seaside the place we disembarked was gorgeous and value spending time as you possibly can see. The water is evident and it wasn’t crowded, so we had the place to ourselves.
I swam on either side only for a change of surroundings. As you head away from the port to the left, there are extra eating places and cafes to be discovered, whereas on the best aspect, there are extra residential houses and buildings. As I fell asleep momentarily on a seaside towel, I awoke to see this critter observing me a few foot away. He naturally took me abruptly however regardless of my transferring again barely, this little man didn’t make a transfer. I suppose he discovered me as curious as I discovered him.
On my stroll, I discovered loads of colourful boats, possible for every day fishing.
Under, an area fisherman at work.
In case you wished freshly caught fish, it was out there proper off the grill. Pair it up with a Pina Colada and a few contemporary coconut milk, and also you’ve acquired your self an ideal afternoon outing.

It will depend on what you wish to do and see after all, whether or not you wish to have a leisurely meal on the best way (attempt Peperoni for enjoyable, eclectic dishes on the Casa de Campo Marina) or absorb an tour, comparable to horseback driving. Frankly, I want we had time to trip horses on one of many many seashores. Ranch de Caps presents half-day rides and you may go for countryside or a southern seaside and there’s additionally an Equestrian Heart at Casa de Campo (250-acres). There’s a dude ranch right here too — so want we had the time for this.
In case you like small cities and villages, make sure you take a look at Balata (in-built 1923), the place you possibly can take within the Jardin de Balata (gardens) and Balata Church, which is seemingly a duplicate of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Paris. How cool is that? For seashores or snorkeling, head to Catalina Island (now we have one off the coast of California too) or Sanona Island.
Iles Des Saintes (Gaudeloupe)
Guadeloupe’s Iles Des Saintes (1493) was our favourite cease. I suppose if we had extra time to absorb extra of the good eating places in St. Kitts and >Saint Lucia, we might have added them for excellent foodie picks. Our time on Iles Des Saintes was low-key and really genuine. It felt like a small village within the south of France in some ways, from its structure, retailers and cafes to its seashores. Though it was slated to have three a long time of >British rule, all the pieces at the moment feels French and its retailers and eating places replicate that affect. Even the official language is French and the official foreign money is the Euro.
We anchored in entrance of Le Bourg after which hung out in Terre De Haute, which is tremendous small — solely six sq. miles. With such intimacy, it was treasured to spend time right here, as we had been capable of wander by way of the village’s most important two streets and stroll additional up the hill to absorb a few of the views and neighboring residential houses. Seaside lovers can head to Grand-Anse or Morne/Pompierre. We swam domestically after which later, after a protracted stroll, we had been capable of expertise one restaurant and one cafe, each of which had nice cocktails and meals.
For purchasing, stroll down Sainte-Anne’s most important drag and search for the piercing blue clothes store known as Bleu des Iles (you possibly can’t miss it). It’s owned by a French girl and the designs are wonderful, lots of that are hand painted. There are additionally markets however additional away: Saint-Antoine Market in Pointe-à-Pitre for Creole flavours and aromas, Basse-Terre Market which was made by architect Ali Tur within the 1930’s (for fruit and veggies), the every day market of Sainte-Anne (artwork craft village), positioned in entrance of the small fishing port and Le Gosier Market, which is understood for night time strolls (fruit, veggies, and crafts).

Our favourite reminiscence right here was merely strolling round and exploring the quaint village.
St. Kitts & Nevis
I’ve at all times been intrigued by St. Kitts and have been that means to go to this gem of an island for years. The Carib Indians known as it the “fertile isle,” and it’s certainly fertile. It additionally has volcanic roots so to talk and the tallest mountain right here rises to almost 4,000 ft. Like Dominica, there’s loads of rain forests.
It seems that St. Kitts was one of many solely islands that the French and English shared and so there’s nonetheless a robust affect by each cultures. I realized from an area that St. Kitts was typically known as “The Mom Colony” because it was the primary everlasting English settlement within the space.
The accent is West Indian and English is broadly spoken. It has had its independence since 1983 along with its sister island Nevis, roughly two miles off the southern coast of St. Kitts. (sadly, we didn’t have time to go to Nevis though it was solely two miles aside). I beloved that it felt extra untouched than many different islands though there are industrial elements to be discovered all through. Much less so on Nevis — apparently there are not any visitors lights on the island). Very untouched, it’s an awesome spot to go to for nature hikes and to easily get away.
On St. Kitts, you possibly can take an official Scenic Rail Tour, which leaves from >Basseterre Port and returns to South Friars Bay. The rail tour does an entire circle and takes a shocking route alongside the northeastern shoreline. It was as soon as used to ship sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mills. Colourful double-deck railcars make it each enjoyable and scenic; in case you sit on the higher deck, you possibly can see panoramic views. The decrease degree has rattan furnishings and specialty drinks, free in case you’re on the tour. Along with the fabulous views, you absorb volcanic mountain ranges, lush rainforests, sugarcane fields, canyons, villages and farms.

Then, there’s a magical 350-year previous gnarled samaan tree on-site, so magical that I took practically 100 photographs of it from totally different angles. I used to be completely mesmerized by its mysterious actions and the best way it was so alive — by that, I imply that it was proud, tall and appeared as if it had loads of tales to inform. Think about what it should have witnessed in its time.
Since we had loads of time right here, I additionally grabbed a bit video of this tree as effectively. Have a look:

Referred to as the sugar islands, there’s loads of sugar cane right here and so they additionally made rum for years, however its principally domestically made as “house brew” at the moment. When you’ve got time to discover different elements of the island, there are extinct volcanoes, nice mountaineering within the rain forests in addition to diving and snorkeling.

We opted to rent a personal driver so we might discover the island on our personal, taking within the island at our personal tempo.

Just like the opposite islands we stopped at, the island has each French and British affect, largely as a result of they each battled for possession. In the end, the English took management till their independence in 1979. He was a wealth of information so I fired my questions his manner.
