Day 14 - Grand Turk

Arrive: Mon 01 February 2027 / Depart: Mon 01 February 2027

Forming a British Overseas Territory, this archipelago consists of around 40 low-lying islands southeast of the Bahamas. Grand Turk is the second most populated, even at scarcely seven square miles. The oldest known residents were the Arawak-speaking Taino people, and it is believed they traded salt which formed naturally when the sea water entered shallow inland ponds and evaporated in the sun. Indeed British colonists from Bermuda arrived in the late seventeenth century to collect the salt, and they modified the system. There’s still plenty of evidence of the low stone walls used to compartment off the salt pans across the islands, not least at the Salt House museum next to Town Salina.

Day 22 - Fort de France

Arrive: Tue 09 February 2027 / Depart: Tue 09 February 2027

Despite its French flavour, Martinique is classic Caribbean. Part of the Lesser Antilles, it sits serenely between Dominica and St Lucia, and is every inch as beautiful and relaxed as its neighbours. Fruit crops flourish in the rich volcanic soil surrounding Mt. Pelée. This semi-active volcano devastated former capital St Pierre in 1902 and a tour of the ruins is a fascinating day trip.

Make sure you visit St Nicholas Abbey, a historic plantation house and one of three Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere.
