November 25: Bridgetown, Barbados

When Bajans say, "Life's a beach," they mean 80 pristine beaches, some long and straight, some hidden among cliffs, many among the world's most beautiful. Cruise to Barbados for water sports include jet-skiing at lively Mullins Beach, paddle boarding at Pebbles Beach, and surfing at Atlantic Shores. Small boats will take you swimming with the turtles, or you can skipper your own Hobie Cat, try spearfishing, or lounge aboard a luxurious catamaran with drinks. Launch a 4x4 safari into the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in search of green monkeys, a rare sight outside Africa. Explore Harrison's Cave from a tram, viewing stalactites, stalagmites, and underground streams. People have come here to trade since the English in 1627. Today, you'll find designer fashion, fine jewelry, fragrances, electronics, and leather in this tax haven. Talented islanders produce exquisite art and collectibles. Foodies love this “culinary capital of the Caribbean,” fusing the flavors of Africa, the West Indies, and Europe.

November 26: Fort De France, Martinique

Experience a symphony of French and Creole cultures, with a volcanic landscape as the backdrop. This largest city of the French West Indies offers narrow streets, wrought-iron balconies, and Parisian-style boutiques.

See the 1502 landing site of Christopher Columbus. Learn about the devastating eruption of Mount Pelée. Savor the local cuisine and do some rum tasting. Down the coast, discover coral reefs with tropical fish on a guided dive or snorkel excursion to Anse Dufour Beach and the Bat Cave.
