We just lately 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’ll be able to 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 gives 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 beautiful 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 turned linked to mainland Dominica.
We approached Dominica on a smaller shuttle boat, and as we have 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 finest 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 luxurious inexperienced in all instructions, marshland making up a part of it. We noticed loads of doves and herons throughout our hike. Reality be instructed, I hoped to not meet up with a snake even if the strolling path was fairly vast.
Additionally close by is Fort Shirley, which was formerly a navy 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 could find if in case you have sufficient time to discover the world.
Beneath are just a few of the work inside the primary fortress.
What else is value understanding about Dominica? You may 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. If in case you have time to discover a number of the waterfalls, it’s a worthwhile use of your time on the island.
You may as well take an Indian River Boat Cruise, an ideal alternative for nature lovers. The river stems from the Kalinago individuals, previously often known 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 instructed that the Pirates of the Caribbean was filed right here.

On a unusual be aware, Cabrits comes from the phrase goat in French, Portuguese and Spanish. If in case you have time to attempt a few of their native Avocado pear juice, it’s value making an attempt. Additionally they have soursop (I bear in mind this from dwelling in Africa), Passionfruit, Grapefruit and Beetroot (yum!). In the event you’re a bear drinker, order a Kubuli and chill out at certainly one of their cafes. Though you’ll be able to use U.S. {dollars}, their native foreign money is the Jap Caribbean Greenback – I purposely did an alternate as I acquire notes from world wide.
Two extra issues to notice: the Syndicate Nationwide Park Nature Path (a tour you’ll be able to guide beginning off in Portsmouth) and the Love & Chocolate Tour. The character path takes you to roughly 2,000 toes the place you’ll be able to see beautiful birds in addition to native natural world. Fowl lovers will need 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 beautiful gardens. It’s a family-run enterprise and the cocoa beans are grown and harvested sustainably on the property.
Antiqua & Barbuda
In the West, at the least within the fashionable world, we all know the island by Antigua, which implies historic in Spanish though it’s technically Antigua and Barbuda, which turned an impartial state throughout the Commonwealth of Nations in 1981. That stated, locals check with it as Waladi or Wadadl, as I rapidly discovered after I began chatting with somebody on the first store I walked into.
It’s a small island, so if 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 may need to keep away from peak season. There are fascinating artisan crafts and work to be discovered right here; nonetheless, and in addition an ideal spot for cafes and eating places.
Provided that we have 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 find out about their annual regatta that brings in lots of ships and yachts for the occasion. Within the north, there are different marinas as nicely — Sammy’s Boat Yard Marina and Catamaran Marina, for individuals who need to expertise a marina vibe for drinks or lunch. I spent a piece of time on the dockyard earlier than taking a hike.
Once 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 bushes may be discovered scattered alongside a number of the winding paths
Nelson’s Dockyard additionally has just a few 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 nicely. 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 also be a UNESCO World Heritage Website.
The brick partitions had me at hi there so I frolicked for some time chatting with locals, grabbing a cuppa espresso and absorbing the flavour of the place.
The views have been spectacular and the water, clear blue and pristine. A couple of seashores value mentioning embody Galleon Seashore near Falmouth Habour, Pigeon Seashore and Marl Bay Seashore.
Additionally value noting right here is which you could go kayak and snorkel. To get to the place the tour kicks off, you’ll want to 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 choose up your kayak. Right here, you’ll be able to discover inlets, uninhabited islands, mangrove alleys and exquisite bays.
What are you able to count on to see? Starfish, stingrays, turtles, parrot fish (love them), egrets, crimson billed birds, and hummingbirds, to call just a few. You may as well 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 luxurious rain forest. The Rangers at Antigua Rainforest Firm set you up earlier than you embark upon a tree high journey by the bushes on zip strains. The zip strains vary from 52 to 328 toes in size, crossing the breathtaking gorge. In the event you’re an avid zip liner, the small print embody 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 nicely.
Not interested by water or nature? You may discover ways to make your personal rum. It’s a 90-minute Rum Masterclassthat leaves you with a 750 ml bottle of flavored rum. You additionally study the artwork of tasting and mixing your run in the course of the distillation course of to create a job custom-made only for you. How enjoyable proper? Through the class, you additionally get to personalize your personal label as nicely, which makes for an ideal present.
Reality be instructed, I by no means actually preferred rum in my twenties and my thirties, however I made a decision to attempt a number of the native rum wherever they provided it on the islands, and I’ve a newfound appreciation for it. After just a few samples, you start to see the artwork in each creating it and ingesting it.
Beneath, our shuttle boat that took us to and from the Royal Clipper ship.
Martinique
Cruise ships are inclined 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’ll want to take a taxi since they’re on the hillside) and seashores, resembling 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 stunning fountains, benches, bushes and flora. Close by, you’ll be able to seize ferries (roughly 20 minutes to get throughout the bay to Pointe Du Bout) and right here you’ll be able to go to close by seashores Anse-Mitan and Anse-a-l’Ane. There’s additionally a regional historical past museum which is housed in former residence (1888). Right here, you’ll be able to see Creole headdresses and find out about its historical past.
You may 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 just a few Pina Coladas alongside the best way.
The seaside the place we disembarked was beautiful and price spending time as you’ll be able to 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 correct facet, there are extra residential houses and buildings. As I fell asleep momentarily on a seaside towel, I awoke to see this critter gazing me a few foot away. He naturally took me unexpectedly however regardless of my shifting again barely, this little man didn’t make a transfer. I assume he discovered me as curious as I discovered him.
On my stroll, I discovered loads of colourful boats, used for day by day fishing.
Beneath, an area fisherman at work.
If you would like freshly caught fish, it’s accessible proper off the grill. Pair it up with a Pina Colada and a few contemporary coconut milk, and also you’ve obtained your self an ideal afternoon outing.

Take a look at Moulin a Canne for Creole dishes.
To get across the island, it’s roughly forty miles and relying on how lengthy you need to spend seeing the character on the best way and stop-overs, it is best to permit anyplace from a half day to a full day. It is determined by what you need to do and see in fact, whether or not you need to have a leisurely meal on the best way (attempt Peperoni for enjoyable, eclectic dishes on the Casa de Campo Marina) or soak up an tour, resembling horseback using. Frankly, I want we had time to experience horses on one of many many seashores. Ranch de Caps provides half-day rides and you may go for countryside or a southern seaside and there’s additionally an Equestrian Middle at Casa de Campo (250-acres). There’s a dude ranch right here too — so want we had the time for this.

How cool is that? For seashores or snorkeling, head to Catalina Island (we have now 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 take in additional of the nice 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 beaches. Though it was slated to have three many years of British rule, the whole lot at the moment feels French and its retailers and eating places mirror that affect. Even the official language is French and the official foreign money is the Euro.
We anchored in entrance of Le Bourgand frolicked 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 have been capable of wander by the village’s essential two streets and stroll additional up the hill to absorb a number of the views and neighboring residential houses. Seashore lovers can head to Grand-Anse or Morne/Pompierre. We swam regionally after which later, after an extended stroll, we have been capable of expertise one restaurant and one cafe, each of which had nice cocktails and meals.
For buying, stroll down Sainte-Anne’s essential drag and search for the piercing blue clothes store known as Bleu des Iles (you’ll be able to’t miss it). It’s owned by a French girl and the designs are wonderful, a lot 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 day by day market of Sainte-Anne (artwork craft village), positioned in entrance of the small fishing port and Le Gosier Market, which is understood for evening 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 just about 4,000 toes. 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 powerful affect by each cultures. I discovered from an area that St. Kitts was generally 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 collectively 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 regardless that it was solely two miles aside). I cherished that it felt extra untouched than many different islands though there are business points to be discovered all through. Much less so on Nevis — apparently there aren’t any visitors lights on the island). Very untouched, it’s an ideal spot to go to for nature hikes and to easily get away.
On St. Kitts, you’ll be able to 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 surprising 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; should you sit on the higher deck, you’ll be able to see panoramic views. The decrease stage has rattan furnishings and specialty drinks, free should you’re on the tour. Along with the fabulous views, you soak up volcanic mountain ranges, lush rainforests, sugarcane fields, canyons, villages and farms. You additionally go deserted sugar mills and windmills and study in regards to the island’s historical past alongside the best way . . . and with music blaring to-boot.

Inside, you could have the chance to witness the Batik making course of in motion. Do you know that it’s a 2,500 12 months previous Indonesian wax-and-dye course of? Right here, she is utilizing sizzling wax and colourful dye to create her masterpiece.
Outdoors, the gardens are lush, vibrant and alive. We strolled alongside the perimeters and thru the gardens. It’s set on ten acres and the backyard setting is completely breathtaking.
There’s a magical 350-year previous gnarled samaan tree on-site, so magical that I took almost 100 photographs of it from completely 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 will need to have witnessed in its time.
Since we had loads of time right here, I additionally grabbed somewhat video of this tree as nicely. Have a look:
The drive by the island was spectacular as nicely, particularly the surroundings (each lush rainforest) and beautiful sights of the ocean.

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 regionally made as “residence brew” at the moment. If in case you have time to discover different components of the island, there are extinct volcanoes, nice mountaineering within the rain forests in addition to diving and snorkeling.
For meals, take a look at the Ballahoo, a tropically themed restaurant. Order their toasted rum-and-banana sandwich with ice cream. Sure, actually. Sounds prefer it’s to die-for proper? You may as well order tamarind and guava juices. Have much more time? Head to Black Rocks, a novel set of lava deposits that are fascinating to see.

There have been a few completely different tour choices in Saint Lucia, together with an Aerial Tram Journey and one which took in its breathtaking views. Right here, you embrace the rainforest by tram (open-air gondola) taking in towering Gommiers, Chatanniers, Ficus, Bananas and Hummingbirds. Excursions go away from Rodney Bay,which is the place our shuttle boat dropped us off.
We opted to rent a non-public driver so we might discover the island on our personal, taking within the island at our personal tempo. It’s a dense island, with 238 miles of rain forests, banana plantations, mountains, fishing villages and a drive-in volcano. Much 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 method.

There’s nice mountaineering on the island as nicely and if in case you have time to drive by (and cease at) a number of the cities alongside the best way, you’ll get a taste for the native tradition, structure and way of life.
Colours have been vibrant and alive within the city of Castries, and I sensed extra French affect right here than British though there was clearly a mixture of each.
