PONANT lädt Sie zu einer 13-tägigen Kreuzfahrt entlang der Antillen ein. Von Fort-de-France aus kreuzen Sie im paradiesischen Gewässer der Karibik und entdecken wunderschöne Inseln, historische Stätten und architektonische Schätze.
Während Ihrer gesamten Reise profitieren Sie von einem bereits im Reisepreis inkludierten Landausflug pro Anlaufhafen und Person. Dieser ist aus einem vom PONANT sorgfältig zusammengestellten Angebot auszuwählen. Erleben Sie auf dieser Kreuzfahrt beispielsweise eine Katamaran- und Schnorcheltour von Port Elizabeth aus auf der Insel Bequia, erkunden Sie La Soufrière zwischen Land und Meer auf St. Lucia oder genießen Sie die Schönheit der Insel St. Kitts bei einer Segel- und Schnorcheltour. Die Vielfalt der angebotenen Erlebnisse verspricht ebenso intensive wie abwechslungsreiche Momente (gesamtes Angebot unter dem Reiter „Reiseroute" einsehbar).
Ein erfahrener Tauchguide sorgt während der gesamten Kreuzfahrt dafür, dass Sie vollkommen sicher und entspannt an ausgewählten Orten Schwimmen und Tauchen können.
Zuerst steuer Ihr Schiff St. Kitts an, eine Vulkaninsel mit feinen Sandstränden und einem herrlichen Kulturerbe aus ihrer kolonialen Vergangenheit.
Ihr Schiff legt als nächstes auf Saint-Martin an, einer kleinen, kosmopolitischen Insel, deren einer Teil zu Frankreich und der andere zu den Niederlanden gehört.
Anschließend geht es weiter zu den Britischen Jungferninseln, die zwischen den Kleinen und den Großen Antillen gelegen sind. Sie bestehen aus rund sechzig, zum größten Teil unbewohnten Inseln. Auf der Insel Tortola haben Sie ausreichend Zeit für Entspannung am Strand und ein erfrischendes Bad im Meer.
Die Insel Antigua ist Ihr nächster Stopp. Die dortige Schiffswerft stammt aus der georgianischen Zeit. Sie liegt in einer geschützten Bucht dieser Insel mit schroffen Küsten und gehört zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Als nächstes entdecken Sie die bezaubernde Landschaft der Insel Dominica, die auch die „Naturinsel“ genannt wird, bevor Sie weiter südlich nach St. Lucia fahren und die beiden dortigen erloschenen Vulkane beobachten, die direkt aus dem Meer emporsteigen. Diese einzigartige Landschaft gehört zum Welterbe der UNESCO.
Ihr Schiff nimmt anschließend Kurs Richtung Süden auf die Inselgruppe St. Vincent und die Grenadinen. Diese durch das schönste Korallenriff der Antillen verbundene Inselkette enthüllt Ihnen ihre einzigartige Unterwasserwelt und verborgenen Buchten.
Nach einer einzigartigen Kreuzfahrt erreichen Sie Fort-de-France, wo Ihre Reise endet.

PONANT Aktivitäten
Tauchen & erster Tauchgang
Begleitung der Tauchgänge
Ihre Tauchgänge werden von unseren PONANT Tauchguides begleitet. Diese werden sich um Ihre Sicherheit und einen reibungslosen Ablauf kümmern. An einigen Tauchplätzen, wie in Naturschutzgebieten oder wenn die örtlichen Vorschriften dies vorschreiben, wird zusätzlich ein lokaler Führer das Tauchen begleiten.
Erforderliches Tauchlevel während dieser Kreuzfahrt
Das erforderliche Niveau für Gäste, die während dieser Kreuzfahrt tauchen möchten, ist PADI Open Water Diver, CMAS 1 Stern oder ein gleichwertiges Zertifikat. Die Zertifizierung, das Tauchlogbuch und ein aktuelles ärztliches Attest (weniger als 12 Monate alt) müssen zu Beginn der Kreuzfahrt den PONANT Tauchguides vorgelegt werden.
Ablauf der Tauchgänge (zertifizierte Taucher)
Der Tauchguide behält sich das Recht vor, die Fähigkeit der Taucher auf maximale Sicherheit zu überprüfen. Da wir an abgelegenen Orten tauchen, werden die Tauchgänge ohne Dekompressionsstopp durchgeführt. Ein Sicherheitsstopp von 3 Minuten bei 5 Metern ist obligatorisch. Die Tiefe, die erreicht werden kann, hängt von der Zertifizierung der Taucher ab:
- Für diejenigen mit PADI Advanced Open Water Diver-Zertifikat (oder einem gleichwertigen Zertifikat) beträgt die maximale Tiefe bis zu 20 Meter.
- Wenn zwei CMAS sterne oder PADI Advanced Open Water Divers (oder gleichwertiges Zertifikat) unabhängig tauchen möchten, müssen sie zuerst eine Einweisung erhalten. Sie müssen Tauchcomputer haben und dürfen maximal eine Tiefe von 20 Metern erreichen.
Ablauf der Schnuppertauchgänge (Tauchanfänger)
Vor dem ersten Tauchgang zeigt Ihnen der Tauchguide die Ausrüstung und erklärt, wie unter Wasser mit Handzeichen kommuniziert wird und wie das Atmen durch einen Atemregler funktioniert. Sobald Sie im Wasser sind und mit der entsprechenden Ausrüstung ausgestattet sind, lernen Sie, wie Sie einige Minuten lang durch Ihren Atemregler an der Oberfläche atmen. Wenn der Tauchguide das Gefühlt hat, dass Sie bereit sind, taucht er mit Ihnen etwa 20 Minuten lang bis zu einer Tiefe von maximal 6 Metern.
Dauer der Tauchgänge
Die Tauchgänge dauern 2 bis 3 Stunden, einschließlich der Fahrt zum Tauchplatz und des Tauchens. Diese Dauer kann je nach Standort, Taucherniveau, Wetterbedingungen und Teilnehmerzahl variieren. Für erfahrene Taucher variiert die Tauchdauer je nach Ort, Erfahrung und Verbrauch des Tauchers zwischen 35 und 60 Minuten.
Bereitgestellte Ausrüstung
- Neoprenanzug
- Stabilisierungsjacket
- Oktopus-Atemregler und Manometer
- Tauchcomputer (für Taucher, die die Verwendung beherrschen)
- Flossen
Tauchermaske und Schnorchel: Aufgrund von Covid-19 und der damit einhergehenden aktuellen Gesundheitssituation empfehlen wir Ihnen aus hygienischen Gründen, eine eigene Tauchermaske und Schnorchel mit an Bord zu bringen. In Ausnahmefällen können diese gemäß den Hygienebedingungen* ausgeliehen werden.
Gäste können an Tauchaktivitäten teilnehmen, sofern bestimmte Bedingungen eingehalten werden, die im Einklang mit den am Tag des Tauchgangs geltenden gesundheitlichen, wissenschaftlichen und medizinischen Maßnahmen festgelegt wurden.

Rum tasting and beach
The Caribbean is the historic and authentic birthplace of rum. On this tour, you will enjoy this iconic spirit, dating back to the days where pirates ruled the seas.
You will board your bus, with your guide, from the dock, leaving Marigot for the short drive to Cole Bay to visit a rum distillery, Rhum Gouverneur 1648, nestled in the centre of French Saint-Martin.
On your arrival, you will be greeted by a specialized distillery guide, who will take you on a tour of this important facility. Here, you will learn about the history of rum and how it's made in the Caribbean and get a behind-the-scenes look at the distillery, where rum is fermented, distilled, and filtered. A superb, well-balanced elixir that stimulates your tongue with its beautiful combination of caramel and candied fruit, Gouverneur 1648 is the result of combining different distillates aged in the Caribbean. It was lovingly created and developed in Saint-Martin by master blender Olivier Kleinhans.
Then, you will see the blending process and how rum is expertly bottled. You will continue your tour with your guide to the laboratory and learn how the distillery ensures its products meet the highest quality standards and how it creates different flavoured rums.
You will be able to taste some of the 50 flavours under development and take part in a cocktail-making class. After the tour, you will be invited to the tasting bar, where you can sample some of the artisanal products.
You will then make your way to Orient Bay, a charming French village nestled in the north of the island. Once at the KKO Beach Restaurant, you will enjoy a mouth-watering three-course lunch specially designed to tempt your palate.
You can then relax on the beach or on one of the many beach chairs and spend the rest of the day admiring the natural beauty of the island while listening to the sound of the waves or strolling along the shore.
Finally, you will catch your bus back to the dock and your ship.
- This tour is for people aged 18 and over. There is little walking, and the surfaces are relatively flat. We advise you to wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, a beach towel, a swimsuit and sun protection. The order of the tour may vary.

Indian River by rowboat
From the pier, board your coach for a 15-minute transfer to the Indian River.
The Indian River is like a mini-Amazon teeming with life. It runs through the centre of the town of Portsmouth, in the North of Dominica. The river was named the Indian River after the settlements of the Kalinago, formally known as Carib Indians, which existed on the upper banks of that river.
The Indian River gushes down the Morne aux Diables Mountain range and gently meanders down to the lowlands of Portsmouth, where it flows gracefully into the Caribbean Sea. Due to its unique formation, being below sea level, the water at the lower areas of the river is brackish, contributing to the unique variety of plants and animal life. The Indian River showcases flora and fauna that are specific only to that area of Dominica. Local fauna includes herons, king fisher, iguanas, and a variety of other birds, many of which are still present after the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Vegetation continues to grow and is returning in full force.
Experienced boatmen in hand-oared wooden rowboats will take you up the slow-moving river at a leisurely pace, so that you can appreciate the many types of wildlife and plant life along the swampy riverbanks.

Before leaving, you will have the opportunity to taste this salt and visit the shop to purchase some sea salt products.
You will then re-board your coach for the scenic journey back to your ship.

Tourments d'amour workshop
Tourment d'amour is a traditional cake from Les Saintes. Visitors arriving by boat are usually greeted by vendors selling these cakes filled with coconut, pineapple or guava jam.
From the quay, you will cross the village of Terre de Haut, accompanied by your guide. You will pass through the central square, with the main ferry dock. This charming little town stretches along the water's edge, overlooking the magnificent bay.

Continue on to Place de la Mairie, or Place Fleurie, with its elegant, colourful town hall and monument to sailors lost at sea.
Then, continue along the seafront to your workshop for the day. Be sure to take in the local architecture and the views across the bay.
At your workshop, you will be greeted by your host, who will give you all the information you need about tourment d'amour: its history, how it's made, and why it's so particular to the island. It's said that it takes a lot of love to make this cake. In fact, it was made by Saint women to comfort their sailor husbands on their return from sea, after a hard day's work. They represented their love and gratitude.
You will enjoy a demonstration of how to make this little cake, and of course, you will be invited to join in and help with the various stages of production.
Traditionally made with coconut, tourment is also available in other local flavours: pineapple, guava and banana.

Indian River by rowboat
From the pier, board your coach for a 15-minute transfer to the Indian River.
The Indian River is like a mini-Amazon teeming with life. It runs through the centre of the town of Portsmouth, in the North of Dominica. The river was named the Indian River after the settlements of the Kalinago, formally known as Carib Indians, which existed on the upper banks of that river.
The Indian River gushes down the Morne aux Diables Mountain range and gently meanders down to the lowlands of Portsmouth, where it flows gracefully into the Caribbean Sea. Due to its unique formation, being below sea level, the water at the lower areas of the river is brackish, contributing to the unique variety of plants and animal life. The Indian River showcases flora and fauna that are specific only to that area of Dominica. Local fauna includes herons, king fisher, iguanas, and a variety of other birds, many of which are still present after the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Vegetation continues to grow and is returning in full force.
