Nicknamed ‘nature island’, Dominica is 290 square miles of towering mountains, thriving rainforests and rushing waterfalls. The country is a haven for outdoorsy types seeking their next thrill in nature, while the capital offers the complete opposite. Downtown Roseau is the place to find museums, a beautiful botanic garden, and the city’s thriving arts scene in addition to mouthwatering cuisine along a cruise to Dominica. Also known as a hidden gem in terms of culture and history, the island has plenty of untold stories of an indigenous group called the Kalinago ready for you to discover.
France’s overseas Caribbean territory of Martinique is a mountainous utopia of striking natural landscapes, vibrant colourful towns and diverse exuberant culture. The island is located in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, a sparkling gem that glistens in the idyllic waters of the Caribbean Sea. Martinique’s sombre history has seen the territory fall victim to centuries of foreign invasions, the enforcement of slavery in the colonial era and the devastating natural disaster of 1902, when the towering Mont Pelée volcano erupted and destroyed the city of St Pierre. Today, the peaceful island has bounced back from its difficult past and become a cosmopolitan haven of spectacular beaches and thriving cities. Martinique’s official language is French but most of the population also speaks Martinican Créole – an Afro-Caribbean dialect originating with the slaves brought to work on the island’s sugar plantations in the 17th-century. Although the island has a distinct French feel, Créole culture is still very much alive in Martinique and there are few places in the world which offer quite the same level of energy and spirit of a Martinique cruise.
