Von Martinique nach Hamburg 1

Fort-de-France – that sounds like France. But around the capital of the island of Martinique, the turquoise waters of the Caribbean spread out. Lush green tropical forests cover the slopes of the Montagne Pelée volcano. Caribbean beaches with powdered sugar sand stretch along the coasts and lush gardens enchant with tropical vegetation. In fact, Martinique is a French overseas department and also part of the Lesser Antilles. It is one of the Leeward Islands. With the ship you are here in the middle of the Caribbean and at the same time in Europe – or in the European Union.

Snow-white beaches, green mangroves, untouched nature and a dazzling underwater world – as soon as you have reached the port of Bonaire on the cruise by ship, you will have a first glimpse of the diverse beauties of the island. Immerse yourself in the Caribbean, get to know its colorful side and let yourself be enchanted by the island.

A typically Dutch small town dipped in pots of brightly colored paint – that may be the first impression you will have of Willemstad. The charming capital of the Caribbean island of Curacao will inspire you. Go on a discovery tour!

If you are greeted with “Goeie dag” in the Caribbean, you have probably reached the port of Oranjestad in Aruba. The magical capital of the island will inspire you with its unique mixture of Dutch colonial architecture and Caribbean joie de vivre. Use your cruise for a tour of discovery!

The Dominican Republic stands for the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, for a lively culture and for Caribbean joie de vivre. The port of La Romana is the starting point for all of this – and for a journey through time and Hispanic culture. When your AIDA cruise ship docks in the port of La Romana, you should be in the starting blocks. Get ready for the Caribbean adventure – or for a relaxing day on beautiful beaches. Before continuing to the most beautiful destinations in the Caribbean, to Montego Bay or to the tranquil Ochos Rios in Jamaica, to Belize City or Puerto Limon, your AIDA cruise takes you to the heart of the Dominican Republic.

A cruise to Samana, in the northeast of the Dominican Republic, takes you to the island of Hispaniola, the second largest island in the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean. The island is divided into Haiti to the west and the Dominican Republic to the east. It unites two Caribbean paradises. Imposing mountain ranges, species-rich rainforests and thundering waterfalls as well as dreamy sandy beaches offer unique nature experiences. You will experience spectacular whale safaris and tours to the famous „Bacardi Island“ Cayo Levantado.

Tortola is the largest of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It features several white-sand beaches, including Cane Garden Bay and Smuggler’s Cove.

In the island’s southwest, forested Sage Mountain National Park offers trails and sweeping views over neighboring cays.

Green, white and blue: these colors dominate on St. Kitts and Nevis, the sister islands in the Lesser Antilles. The green rainforest, the white beaches and the turquoise blue sea will inspire you! The island of St. Kitts consists of three no longer active volcanoes, between which impressive gorges promise wonderful nature experiences. The fascinating landscape is crowned by the hospitality of the people that you will encounter everywhere on the islands.

Die portugiesische Insel Madeira liegt innerhalb der gleichnamigen Inselgruppe im Atlantischen Ozean. Wie die Kanaren und die Azoren ist die Inselgruppe Madeira vulkanischen Ursprungs.

Rund 630 km vor der afrikanischen Westküste gelegen, brilliert die gebirgige Insel mit einer vielfältigen Flora und Fauna.

Sometimes you can rub your eyes in Galicia: With the fjord-like narrow bays and the hilly, lush green landscape, it looks very different here than the northern Europeans are used to from more southern Spanish destinations. If you visit Vigo on a cruise, you can form your own picture of the Celtic culture of the region and the life of the calm, friendly people on the Atlantic.
