The programme

Leaving the port behind us, we set off to explore Fort-de-France Bay, the commercial capital of the Island of Martinique. The city was founded in 1635 with the name of 'Cul de Sac Du Fort Royal', a name which it maintained until 1672 when it was renamed 'Fort Royal', to be renamed again in 1807 as 'Fort de France' by Napoleon Bonaparte. Currently it has a population of 90,000.
Our tour takes us to theBat Cave where we have the opportunity to swim and do some snorkeling in the splendid Caribbean waters to admire the brightly coloured tropical fish.
We then proceed to Anse Dufour, one of the most beautiful Caribbean beaches where we will experience the second snorkeling session among coloured fish and corals.
On the way back to the ship, we listen to Caribbean music as we sip the famous rum punch.
