Exploring the islands of the Caribbean really taps into this region’s variety. How else can you hike to St Lucia’s volcanic Les Pitons, scuba dive Barbados’ abundant waters, explore Antigua’s 18th century Nelson’s Dockyard, peruse the colourful craft market of Tortola and cycle past the towering sugarcane fields of St Kitts, all in one holiday?

From the buzz of cities such as Amsterdam (from Rotterdam or IJmuiden), to the quieter charms of St Peter Port or picturesque Bruges (from Zeebrugge), a Northern European City Escape gives you the chance to experience the ultimate city escape all year round. Most itineraries include an opportunity to experience two days in Amsterdam, allowing guests to explore more of the city and enjoy an evening ashore.
