| Description |
Join Braemar on a wonderful voyage to the Caribbean and discover unforgettable sights and experiences at the string of sun-kissed paradise islands – the perfect escape as the cold winter weather takes hold back home. |
Powdery sands, palm trees strung with hammocks and a laid-back approach to life invite you to relax and enjoy this unspoiled corner of the Caribbean. Most of the islands and islets in this volcanic island chain are uninhabited, covered in thick jungle overhanging white-sand beaches. The rest are occupied with brightly painted fishing villages, lively markets and the occasional crumbling French fort. |
