ABTOT memberHolidays without flightsA tall ship is one of the most memorable ways to see the Caribbean: the sails go up as you leave port, and each morning brings a new island, from the Grenadines in the south to the British Virgin Islands in the north.
Every Caribbean cruise we offer can be booked as a complete holiday, with return flights from the UK, transfers, a seven-night cruise and hotel nights in Barbados or St Maarten, from two nights to a full week.
Royal Clipper sails from Barbados to the Grenadines and the Windward Islands, Star Flyer from St Maarten to the Leeward and British Virgin Islands, and the elegant Sea Cloud II sails from both.
Four tall ship holidays, from the Grenadines in the south to the British Virgin Islands in the north.
A week at the Hilton Barbados Resort followed by seven nights aboard Royal Clipper, sailing the Grenadines or the Windward Islands from Barbados.
Two nights at La Playa Orient Bay, then seven nights aboard Star Flyer from St Maarten to the Leeward Islands or the British Virgin Islands.
Seven nights aboard the three-masted Sea Cloud II from St Maarten to St Barths, Dominica, the Îles des Saintes and Martinique, with two nights at La Playa Orient Bay.
A round trip from Barbados aboard Sea Cloud II to Bequia, Canouan, Grenada, Martinique and St Lucia, followed by three nights at the Hilton Barbados Resort.
