Aboard Silver Spirit with Silversea
Cruise Overview
Located beside the island’s only natural harbour, the capital of Barbados combines modern and colonial architecture with glorious palm tree-lined beaches and a number of historical attractions.
Experience the relaxed culture of the city renowned for its British-style parliament buildings and vibrant beach life, and seek out the Anglican church and the 19th-century Barbados Garrison.
The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary.
This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
The largest of the Windward Islands, Martinique is 4,261 mi (6,817 km) from Paris, but its spirit and language are decidedly French, with more than a soupçon of West Indian spice.
Tangible, edible evidence of the fact is the island's cuisine, a superb blend of French and creole.
Martinique is lushly landscaped with tropical flowers.
Trees bend under the weight of fruits such as mangoes, papayas, lemons, limes, and bright-red West Indian cherries.
Acres of banana plantations, pineapple fields, and waving sugarcane stretch to the horizon.
The towering mountains and verdant rain forest in the north lure hikers, while underwater sights and sunken treasures attract snorkelers and scuba divers.
Martinique is also wonderful if your idea of exercise is turning over every 10 minutes to get an even tan and your taste in adventure runs to duty-free shopping.
A popular cruise-ship excursion goes to St-Pierre, which was buried by ash when Mont Pelée erupted in 1902.
You can easily explore all of Gustavia during a two-hour stroll.
Some shops close from noon to 3 or 4, so plan lunch accordingly, but stores stay open past 7 in the evening.
Parking in Gustavia is a challenge, especially during vacation times.
A good spot to park is rue de la République, alongside the catamarans, yachts, and sailboats.
