Martinique (FR) - Saint Martin (FR)

03 April - 11 April 2017

Martinique-Saint Martin, Caribbean dream voyage 2. Deep blue sea, colourful fish, coral reefs, palm trees and always a good sailing breeze: the Caribbean is very appealing for sailors. There is no better way to explore this area than on board of a historic sailing ship. During this trip we do not have a lot of miles to cover so there is lots of time to visit the most beautiful spots, swim, snorkel and enjoy everything the islands have to offer. Only places left in a 2 beds-cabin. Open for all ages, miniumum age 15 years.

Ports

Martinique is an island on the Eastern Caribbean Sea and an overseas territory of France. With its white sandy beaches, clear blue water and green hills it is the picture of a tropical paradise. Enjoy the unique culture of the island with its Creole and French influences and the multicultural cuisine. Visit the Paul Gauguin Interpretation Centre, dedicated to the artist’s brief but fruitful stay on the island. Participate in watersports or take a hike through the tropical forest.

Saint Martin is a Caribbean island, divided into a Dutch part and a French part. Its warm climate will help you adjust to the pace of life on the island, but if you want to do more than sip piña coladas, you’ll find plenty to do. Visit the old fort St. Louis, overlooking Marigot bay, the French Quarter (Orleans), and Paradise Peak. Or stand at Princess Juliana Airport where you can nearly touch the planes as they fly over you. Discover the beautiful beaches of Simpson Bay and swim in the ocean.
