Le Bellot, 10 Night The Essentials of the Caribbean ex Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to Forte de France, Martinique

From Santo Domingo to Fort-de-France, succumb to the charms of the Caribbean aboard a 11-day cruise with PONANT.

Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, chosen with care by PONANT.

The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments.

An experienced diving instructor is on board for the entire cruise, enabling you to safely enjoy swimming and scuba diving.

You will board in Santo Domingo, where you will be able to appreciate the charms of the oldest capital of the “New World”, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Further south, Le Bellot will sail towards the charming shores of Guadeloupe. You will discover the ravishing Baie des Saintes, a very popular spot for mooring, with crystal clear waters and fabulous seabeds. You will sail towards the enchanting setting offered by the island of Dominica - the Nature Island.

You will then island hop gently towards Saint Lucia and its two majestic rocky peaks soaring straight from the sea, a unique location listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.

Finally, fall under the spell of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines archipelago on Bequia, an island with wild and unspoiled shores. You will enjoy the lively atmosphere of Port Elizabeth, the island’s main town.
