La Romana, the capital of the Dominican Republic, is where this cruise through the Caribbean begins. The Caribbean is located in the tropical part of the Atlantic Ocean, north of the equator and the islands are arranged in an arc within the Caribbean Sea.
The island of Antigua with its capital St. John's is the largest of the "Islands Under The Wind – Windward Islands", which form the northern end of the "Lesser Antilles". The island Guadeloupe is a Caribbean paradise where the French successfully mixed with the Creoles. We have reached the flower island Martinique. Slave ships brought thousands of black Africans to work in the sugar cane fields. Kingstown, the capital of the island St. Vincent is reached. The infamous Black Point on the coast, where the ships landed with slaves who were driven through the tunnel, sold and shipped. St. Lucia with the capital Castries. Old and new houses in West Indian style frame the centre of the city, which was first founded by the French. Barbados - the often-sung "Island of Dreams" with European flair, the "Little England" of the Caribbean. Grenada with the capital St. George's. Where the scent of exotic spices bewitches our senses. Bonaire is a dreamy, unspoilt island, which is the least developed for tourism. Curaçao with its capital Willemstad is the largest of the A-B-C Islands. Much here is reminiscent of Holland, that's what the colonials brought in. Aruba, with its capital Oranjestad. Colourful colonial buildings remind us of Holland and a ride on the open tram helps you experience the Caribbean feeling even more profoundly.
Each island surprises with a different flair and the port cities quickly reveal which colonial powers ruled here. You may just get used to "island hopping and really enjoy a variety of different experiences of a cruise through the Caribbean.
