Eastern Caribbean Cruise - from Bridgetown - 130473

Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados. This city, with a population of 6,700 lies at the South coast of the country. Tourists will find a huge range of shopping options and an exciting nightlife at the ultra-modern port facility of this idyllic little town. Bridgetown has a historic synagogue, built by Brazilian Jews in 1627, shortly after the founding of the British colony. A variety of water sports are on offer at the beaches at Dover, Rockley and Needhams Point.

Soufrière is the second-largest town on the island of St. Lucia. The deep-sea port is located on the foothills of two extinct volcanoes, the Pitons, which are St. Lucia's most famous sights. Soufrière is a collection of colourful houses with arcades at the edge of the rainforest before which little fishing boats lie at the beach. On Saturdays the weekly market is held on the beach promenade. There are lots of small shops on the main street and at the church square. A restored colonial house and a parish church made of huge, dark grey bricks with an open wooden roof truss are worth a visit. The road from Soufrière to Fond St. Jacques runs through dense rainforest to the East and leads to the spectacular diamond waterfalls, the Botanic Gardens, sulphur springs and the "Drive-in Volcano", which can be viewed from the inside.
