Only Holland America Line offers delectable tours throughout the Caribbean, from Aruba to Martinique, Jamaica to Willemstad. For example, you can visit a beautifully preserved Jacobean mansion in Barbados, then observe the adjacent plantation’s traditional rum-making techniques, before sampling the wares. Enjoy a follicking evening out in Aruba, with Caribbean barbecue, pub crawl and dancing. Step into Chef Heidi Smeulders’ Curaçao kitchen and assist “the Caribbean Spice Girl” in preparing a memorable island lunch for all to enjoy. In Jamaica, after nibbling on chicken at a local jerk hut, enjoy a delicious, home-style lunch at Miss T’s Kitchen, then head to an ocean-view bar for refreshing cocktails and a chance to hone your reggae dance moves. In Dominica, enjoy freshly caught, grilled lobster at Keepin’ It Real, a quintessential Caribbean beach shack. Or explore the unique techniques and manufacturing process of rhum Agricole at Habitation Clément, a family-owned estate, followed by a spicy Creole feast at Le Petitbonum in Martinique.
