BARBADOS

Barbados is home to some of the most exclusive hotels in the Caribbean, from the six-star stylings of Sandy Lane to the whispered luxury of Coral Reef Club, so it’s a natural choice for anyone looking to celebrate in style. The island’s impressive roster of fine dining establishments is reason alone to spend a special birthday or anniversary here; our favourites include The Cliff, Daphne’s and The Lone Star. Or, if unearthing undiscovered local gems is more your bag, why not take a foodie tour of the island and tuck into authentic Bajan favourites like cou cou and flying fish.

The nightlife in Barbados is another big draw, from the famous St Lawrence Gap to more recent additions like the Vujaday festival, which attracts the biggest names in house and techno to the island. For a more sedate celebration, why not charter your own yacht and check out some of the less well-known beaches and snorkelling spots while being waited on hand and foot. The platinum sands of the west coast are the reason most people come to Barbados, but a trip around the island lets you explore the dramatic scenery of the wilder Atlantic shore.

Clipper Cruises All Aboard

Cruising with Star Clippers is a wonderful way to explore the world and celebrate a special occasion; in just one holiday you could take in palm-fringed beaches, cities rippling with history and culture, sprawling vineyards, and awe-inspiring archaeological sites, all while travelling on board these magnificent ships. Feel the wind in your hair as you sail aboard what feels like your very own private yacht. Star Clippers’ fleet of striking four- and five-masted tall ships provide an intimate cruising experience with no more than 227 guests on board. You’ll find life aboard extremely comfortable with luxury cabins, superb facilities, elegant dining and attentive, friendly service.

But if you want to extend your holiday and slow down the pace, we can tailor-make your cruise holiday with a pre- or post-stay in a city or island of your choice.
