The ship is lovely like wise the crew and food. The only concern I have is the boarding ladder up the side of the ship was unstable and daunting for some people. I did expect better. They used local boats to get to some islands (wet landings) I thought this process was down right dangerous. The sea was choppy and the locals do not have any sense of health and safety. Although some people turned back I went on a speed boat to an island but found it very difficult to get on and off. I did expect landings would be carried out by the crew not locals. More care needs to be taken. Larger cruise ships would not let you go ashore under the same conditions. I do realise Clipper ships are different but the fact still remains that the sea is very powerful and unpredictable and more care should betaken especially with guests who are fit but getting on in years. Hope this is useful Enid G

Climbers are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the ocean and Petit Piton at the top of the steep trek. You begin at 200 feet and travel through a biodiverse, lush tropical rainforest. A halfway point with views of Petit Piton and a final "north/south" summit point with breathtaking views of St. Lucia are part of the typically two-hour climb.

Both options are perfect for snorkeling.

The 0.6-mile stroll provides a relaxing and instructive experience with lush tropical gardens, organic farms, and coastline views.
