Spotlight on the Caribbean
The Caribbean islands have captivated visitors for centuries with their natural beauty and year-round warm climate. A myriad of influences shine through in the cuisine, language and buildings from island to island; all while retaining the same friendly, laid-back spirit. Check out Cunard’s Top 3 shore excursions in the gorgeous Caribbean!
1. Caribbean Chocolate Experience || St. Lucia
Discover the art of chocolate making in St. Lucia’s exquisite Hotel Chocolat. After short stops at the Morne Furtune viewpoint for panoramic views of Castries, and at the Marigot Bay viewpoint, stop in Soufriere at the Hotel Chocolat, to learn and create your own bar.
What Hotel Chocolat believes in:
Originality
- They're constantly striving to be fresh, creative and innovative, and always one surprising step ahead.
Authenticity
- Chocolate starts at the roots of the cacao tree. So they got stuck in.
Ethics
- You work too hard for bad chocolate. They work too hard for cheap cocoa. Hotel Chocolat has been raising the bar for cocoa-growing since 2002.
2. America Cup Experience || Philipsburg, St Maarten
Grind a win and trim a sail, as you ‘work the boat’ on a multimillion-dollar America’s Cup racing boat – and get a taste of the experience of what it might feel like sailing in one of the world’s most exclusive events.
Did you know…?
The America’s Cup is one of the longest running and most prestigious sporting events in the world, beginning in 1851 when the Royal Yacht Squadron of the United Kingdom opened up the annual regatta around the Isle of Wight to all international competition.
One country answered that invite, the United States, sending a team from the New York Yacht Club on a schooner named the America.
3. Discover Nevis Island || Basseterre
You can discover the beautiful island of Nevis, a hidden treasure known as the ‘Queen of the Caribbean.’ Admire the stunning coastline of the south-eastern peninsula as you head across the Caribbean Sea to Nevis. Once you arrive, a comfortable minibus will take you on a panoramic tour of this gorgeous island, with visits to a hot spring and Pinney’s Beach.
About Pinney’s Beach:
- On Nevis' west edge, north of Charlestown, lies one of the most talked about beaches of the two islands. The smooth saffron-colored sands of Pinney's often grace the glossy pages of travel publications, and to most travelers, the beach lives up to its hype.
