Caribbean Celebration

See the bright lights of the Big Apple, international mecca and melting pot, with expensive brownstones, colourful neighbourhoods, great museums and ambling parks. Some come just for the shopping: there’s Bloomingdale’s on Lex, Tiffany’s on Fifth, Barneys and the unique boutiques along Madison. Or head downtown and explore the trendy shops of SoHo.

Amber Cove is close to Puerto Plata on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. From here you can enjoy a drink at the Brugal Rum factory or the 16th-century San Felipe Fort, built to repel pirates.
The natural scenery a little further inland is wonderful for hiking and mountain-biking, while the coastline has a reputation for excellent watersports, thanks to its predictable natural breezes.

Ivory sands, aquamarine seas and a gracious welcome await you on Tortola. Road Town, the capital of the British Virgin Islands, will put you at ease with its genteel atmosphere.

There are not many chances to explore one of the earth’s few natural paradises, so don’t miss this one. Dense, lush rainforts. Sparkling lakes. The unforgettable Trafalgar Falls. Roseau is a truly life-enriching experience.

Barbados is one of the most well known and beautiful islands in the eastern Caribbean. It is part of the British Commonwealth and is named after the Bearded Fig Tree, which was once found in abundance.
Barbados is an island where relaxation and adventure go hand in hand. White sandy beaches stretch for miles while snorkelling and sailing are some of the world-class water sports on offer.

A cruise to Barbados starts with a walk around Bridgetown, the capital city, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. The city has a charming combination of colonial buildings and Caribbean vibrancy. Make sure you visit St Nicholas Abbey, a historic plantation house and one of three Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere.

Take your time browsing the vibrant market place where few visitors fail to be charmed by the friendly Creole people. What better way to seek out bargains than with the beautiful Caribbean shimmering in the distance.

After strolling the charming colonial streets and shops of Basseterre, take a drive to Brimstone Hill Fort. Its impressive colonial construction is truly one of the wonders of the Caribbean.
