Eendracht:
Paramaribo (SR) - Fort-de-France (MQ)

06 January - 15 January 2019

Board the Eendracht in the capital of Suriname – Paramaribo – and sail across the Caribbean Sea to Martinique. Beautiful tropical voyage in the middle of the winter – perfect for getting some sun and great Instagram shots! Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years. You’ll be sleeping in 4 person cabins. Places in double cabins available for a surcharge of 19,50 euro p.p. per night. Do you want to spend some time exploring Suriname? You can book up to three additional nights on board before the journey starts for EUR 39,50 for bed&breakfast or EUR 49,50 for full board (prices per person per night).

Ports

Paramaribo is the capital city of Suriname, at the northern coast of South America. Visit the busy Central Market for a local atmosphere and Saint Peter & Paul Cathedral-Basilica, Neveh Shalom Synagogue or the Suriname Mosque for must-see architectural attractions. Then stroll down the Blaugrond street and grab some delicious food in one of the many lively restaurants.

Fort-de-France is the capital of Martinique, a curious mixture of European and Caribbean temperament and has a wonderful climate. It is one of the largest cities in the Caribbean, so you’ll find plenty to see and do as you explore the streets. But don’t limit yourself to the city – Martinique is stunning in its beauty, with rainforests, dormant volcanoes, and beaches in all sizes. Wearing a Panama hat is allowed, and don’t forget to sample the local cuisine… it’s like ‘ouh-la-la’, but with rum!
