PORTS OF CALL - Royal Clipper Windward Islands Christmas Cruise

Saturday, Dec 18 2027 - Bridgetown, Barbados
On the wild and rugged east coast of Barbados, the isolated beaches are the colour of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. The easternmost island of the Windwards, and indeed, of the entire Caribbean, reaches out to Africa and the Old World, as if not quite part of the New. Bridgetown, Barbados, is an interesting town full of contrasts. George Washington actually slept here! Trafalgar Square reminds you that the laidback, rum- and fun-loving island's British influenced heritage includes revered traditions like cricket and high tea.
Sunday, Dec 19 2027 - Rodney Bay, St. Lucia
Rodney Bay, located in the northwest of Saint Lucia, is one of the island’s most popular tourist destinations. Known for its fine sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant marina, Rodney Bay offers the perfect mix of relaxation, water activities, and nightlife. The region is rich in history and culture, with visible British and French colonial influences in its architecture and traditions. Whether you're looking for peaceful beaches, water sports, or cultural discoveries, Rodney Bay has something to offer everyone.

It is also home to Fort Shirley – a restored 18th-century British garrison that offers panoramic views of Prince Rupert Bay.

Monday, Dec 27 2027 - St. George's, Grenada
The aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla baking in the sun - these are the tropical flavours of Grenada. From the horseshoe shaped Carenage at St. George's, follow the Sendall Tunnel (hand-built in 1895) to the Esplanade and old Ft. George for a spectacular view of Grenada.
Tuesday, Dec 28 2027 - Soufriere, St. Lucia
