Cruise overview

Embark on a unique musical adventure through the West Indies with renowned violinist and conductor Renaud Capuçon. To celebrate his 50th birthday, the virtuoso invites you to discover his musical universe, surrounded by beaches of white sand, turquoise lagoons, a stunning coral reef and welcoming, colourful villages. On this cruise, the idyllic landscapes of the Grenadine archipelago, Les Saintes and Saint Lucia with its famous Pitons, will provide a stunning backdrop for the performances of a line-up of artists brought together for the occasion by our partners Radio Classique and Alain Duault.

Itinerary

Day 1

Fort-de-France


The largest of the Windward Islands, Martinique is 4,261 mi (6,817 km) from Paris, but its spirit and language are decidedly French, with more than a soupçon of West Indian spice. Tangible, edible evidence of the fact is the island’s cuisine, a superb blend of French and creole. Martinique is lushly landscaped with tropical flowers. Trees bend under the weight of fruits such as mangoes, papayas, lemons, limes, and bright-red West Indian cherries. Acres of banana plantations, pineapple fields, and waving sugarcane stretch to the horizon. The towering mountains and verdant rain forest in the north lure hikers, while underwater sights and sunken treasures attract snorkelers and scuba divers. Martinique is also wonderful if your idea of exercise is turning over every 10 minutes to get an even tan and your taste in adventure runs to duty-free shopping. A popular cruise-ship excursion goes to St-Pierre, which was buried by ash when Mont Pelée erupted in 1902.
