Feel the wind in your hair and the salty breeze in your face as you sail aboard what feels like your own private yacht on Star Clipper. Experience sailing of old but with modern comfort and luxury. This itinerary takes you on a 14 night voyage sailing through and visiting some of the smaller islands and less tourist parts of the Caribbean.  The beauty of small ship sailing is that you can venture into coves with deserted beaches that big ship cruising cannot venture to. Itinerary Day 1 to 2 –Barbados Fly from UK to Barbados for your 2 night pre cruise stay (longer stay pre cruise can be arranged – just give us a call) Day 3 – Barbados Embark the Star Clipper Day 4 – Tobago Cays, Grenadines Four small islets, virtually deserted but enormously appealing for those who love underwater exploration, Tobago Cays is a national park where snorkelling is superb. Day 5 – St Georges, Grenada The aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla baking in the sun - these are the tropical flavours of Grenada. From the horseshoe shaped Carenage at St. George's, follow the Sendall Tunnel (hand-built in 1895) to the Esplanade and old Ft. George for a spectacular view of Grenada. Day 6 to 7 – At Sea Day 8 – Willemstad, Curacao The gabled houses and warehouses of Dutch colonial Willemstad march in tight formation along the entrance to St. Anna Bay, an incongruous vision of a tropical Amsterdam where the floating market sells mangos and papayas instead of tulips. In Curacao's interior cunucu, a few Dutch landhuis or farm owners still wrest a living by ranching on the near-desert soil. Day 9 – Kralendijk, Bonaire  Pink flamingos, divi-divi trees, Papiamento and the best diving in the Caribbean - You can only be in Bonaire. The blinding white salt flats are marked by clouds of pink - enormous flocks (500 or more!) of fluttering flamingos feasting on the orange brine shrimp that gives the flamingos their unmistakable colour. Day 10 – Oranjestad, Aruba Just 15 miles from Venezuela, this almost independent nation still has a ceremonial Dutch Governor General. Once it depended on oil for income, but tourism is the new king. No wonder Aruba's endless beaches and spectacular diving are too tempting to pass up. Day 11 – At Sea Day 12 – Santa Marta Colombia Santa Marta is the oldest city in Colombia. It's beautiful beaches are backed by the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Range. Tayrona National Park is a great place to explore ancient ruins amidst the lush mangrove forests. Enjoy a meal in one of the many cafes that serve meals that combine a fusion of Latin American, Caribbean and European flavours. Day 13 – Cartegena de Indias, Colombia Cartagena is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located on the north coast of Colombia, Cartagena host a spectacular collection of buildings and massive fortifications dating from the early 1600's. The Fortresses were built to protect Cartagena from pirates. City highlights include Saint Philip of Barajas Fortresses and the Fort Ferdinand Fort. Day 14 – At Sea Day 15 – San Blas Archipelago, Panama The vivid colors of the San Blas Islands are undoubtedly the inspiration for the fanciful birds, fish and animals in brilliant reds, oranges, blues and greens that decorate the intricately appliquéd molas created by the indigenous Kuna women. Strung along the throat of Panama's dramatically beautiful Kuna Yala coast, the remoteness of these coral atolls protects an independent people who prize their communal culture with its rich oral history and artistic heritage. Day 16 – Panama Canal Transit Day 17 – Balboa, Panama Along the piers of Balboa, the port marking the Pacific terminus of the Panama Canal, you'll see yachts from all over the world. Balboa was built to house American administrative headquarters for the Canal and many of the buildings are handsome examples of the American colonial style of the early 1900's. Disembark and transfer to Crowne Plaza Panama for your 2 night post stay Day 18 to 19  Panama stay and day 19 transfer to airport and fly back to UK
