Barbados

Another of the British influenced islands, Barbados retains the Empires customs of afternoon tea, cricket and polo matches. For more fun, take a stroll through the outdoor straw market and Trafalgar Square in Bridgetown, The Barbados Meseu and the Flower Forest. Or soak up the sun on one of the many postcard beaches.

Attractions

For the ultimate day of fun-in-the-sun Barbados-style, cruise on the MV Harbour to a spectacular sandy beach. Snorkel on reefs teeming with tropical fish. Enjoy the rope swing, sun tanning or walking on the beach. Cruise back along the scenic coast while dancing the calypso or limbo, or just relax on deck.
