Idyllic tropical islands, aromatic spices, colonial flair and the many beautiful facets of Panama.

Tobago: an island paradise The small fishing village of Charlotteville is situated
in Tobago’s idyllic Man-O-War Bay and can only be reached by land via a steep road which cuts through the rainforest. With the ship anchored in the town’s
picturesque bay, you will have plenty of time to discover
the island or to plunge into the emerald-green waters.

Idyllic sailing along the trade winds
In winter and spring the Caribbean trade winds provide
ideal speeds and perfect stability, while delivering extremely pleasant air and water temperatures. The many hours out at sea will turn into a real joy for the tall ship,
and a delight for those looking to enjoy freedom beneath
the sails. All this in stunning waters.

A day at the beach on the popular sailors’ island of Bequia
The Sea Cloud drops anchor in Admiralty Bay at
Port Elizabeth on Bequia. It is the meeting place for
round-the-world sailors and private luxury yachts. Our
zodiacs bring you to the town or to one of the island’s
most beautiful beaches. You will have plenty of time for
whatever you choose, be it swimming, snorkelling or
taking a stroll.

A delight for all the senses: Grenada, the island of spice
There is a reason why nutmeg is immortalised on this
country’s national flag. Since colonial times nutmeg –
along with cloves, cinnamon and ginger – has been one
of the island’s most important exports. If the aromatic
fragrance of the tropics were to have a name, it would
have to be “Grenada”.

Visit two of the ABC islands:
Bonaire and Curaçao
The ABC islands off the coast of Venezuela are
considered the “Netherlands of the Caribbean”, and
their colonial past is still visible in their pastel-coloured
architecture. Date palms stand outside the gabled
houses and you can order Dutch “Poffertjes” pancakes
alongside cactus liqueur in the restaurants. There are
plenty of colours on show underwater, too; and their
breathtaking biodiversity renders these island beauties
a Mecca for water sports fans.

Panama City and the Panama Canal
When the Panama Canal opened in 1914 after more
than 30 years of construction, this shortened the route
for ships sailing between New York and Los Angeles
by almost 15,000 kilometres (9,320 miles). Panama
City has experienced enormous growth ever since. The
contrast between its ultra-modern banking centre and
lovingly restored historic quarters is what makes this
city Central America’s style capital.
