16www.noble-caledonia.co.ukAn island hopping voyage across the Caribbean Sea aboard the MS Hebridean Sky 14th to 30th March 2027costa rica to the caribbeanIf you have been contemplating a visit to Central America and the Caribbean, then this fascinating voyage from Costa Rica to Antigua could offer the perfect opportunity with its mix of cultural and natural wonders. Each of the destinations we have included has its own culture, and this colourful mix of island personalities, varied terrain, and lifestyles makes for a marvellous spring break. By and large we will head for the smaller, less visited islands and having our small ship, the all-suite MS Hebridean Sky, as the base for our cruise makes all the difference as we can discover the smaller, less visited islands in the region. Our voyage begins in Costa Rica, a small country with a huge array of wildlife including hundreds of brightly coloured species of bird and we will discover the flora and fauna during our visit to the Cahuita National Park or whilst exploring the canals of Tortuguero. Our itinerary then island hops through the lesser visited Caribbean islands to Antigua by way of Colombia, where we explore two beautiful, little-visited islands along the Caribbean coast, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the British Virgin Islands, Dutch Antilles and Guadeloupe. During our voyage there will be opportunities to enjoy swimming and nature walks in some stunning national parks with their endemic plants and wildlife, explore historical sites and forts dating back to the colonial periods, and discover the pretty ports and pastel painted towns whilst learning of the fascinating history of the region, all overseen by our expert onboard team. Such a varied and comprehensive itinerary would be difficult to comprehend or undertake by any means other than a cruise and, in the company of just 100 or so fellow like-minded passengers, we will be able to explore in small groups ashore and enjoy a convivial atmosphere on board. As we sail relatively short distances, we have the benefit of full days on many of the glorious islands allowing for time to join the included, guided excursions combined with the opportunity to explore further independently or perhaps relax on one of the beautiful beaches.
