RR68700
From Saint Martin to Cuba, succumb to the charms of the Caribbean aboard an 11-day cruise with PONANT. This all-new itinerary aboard Le Ponant will be your opportunity to enjoy unforgettable swims in exceptional turquoise-water lagoons & bays lined with palm trees. Your ship will set sail from Saint Martin, a small cosmopolitan island that is half French, half Dutch. Located between the Lesser Antilles & the Greater Antilles, the British Virgin Islands are composed of some sixty islands, most of which are uninhabited. From Virgin Gorda, discover The Baths National Park & its huge blocks of granite, surrounded by caves & rock pools. Next, explore Jost Van Dyke, where we will stop for a relaxing swim. Further west, Le Ponant will drop anchor in the Dominican Republic. In addition to its superb beaches lined with coconut trees, this country is home to myriad lesser-known treasures such as forests, mountains, fishing villages & sugar cane fields. You will then sail to Cuba, famous for its music & its cigars. After a day spent in Antilla, immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Havana, the lively & colourful capital whose old districts are sure to captivate you with their colonial architecture.
