Itinerary
Day Bridgetown, BarbadosDepart 06:00 PM
"Barbadians, or Bajans in local parlance, consider their island nation the most British of the Caribbean: Queen Elizabeth II is still head of state, and English products are stocked in many of its stores and restaurants. Barbados is known as the birthplace of international pop star Rihanna, but it has also produced some of the biggest Caribbean calypso and soca music stars. The summer Crop Over festival is a huge carnival event. With live music and crafts for sale, the popular Friday fish fry at Oistins Bay is a fun place to mingle with the locals. Centered around a waterway called the Careenage and its handsome Chamberlain Bridge, the historic center of Bridgetown, the country's capital, was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2011 for its wealth of British colonial architecture dating from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Among the famous figures who visited Bridgetown when it was at its peak was none other than George Washington, who spent two months in 1751 in a house that still stands today, on his only trip abroad."

Day Kingstown, St. Vincent and the GrenadinesArrives 08:00 AM Departs 06:00 PM
Kingstown, on the southwest coast of St. Vincent, is among the worlds least populous capital cities, with around 20,000 residents. No bustling metropolis, it is instead a quiet, low-key port, distinguished by a number of historic buildings. As in much of the Caribbean, the French and the British competed for decades to control the islands that now make up St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The British eventually won and ruled, except for several brief periods, from 1763 until 1979, when the islands achieved independence. Kingstown's 18th- and 19th-century buildings, which could have been lifted straight out of London, are some of the most appealing sights in this charming city. Its nicknamethe City of Archesis a reference to the arches of the Georgian buildings that shade the sidewalks.
