Martinique mixes fancy French architecture and first-rate beaches.
Where we sail in Martinique
The island of Martinique’s been a French territory since the 17th century, and its capital city – Fort de France – offers up an Instagram-worthy blend of Caribbean and French food and architecture. This is exactly where our cruises to Martinique drop anchor. We sail to the island between March and April, during the dry season. You’ll be able to wander around the city’s collection of top-name-branded shops, as well as tuck in to crêpes and spicy Caribbean chicken in one of the waterfront restaurants.
Parisian influences
Although Martinique’s more than 4,000 miles from France, it’s easy to see that the two places are related. Gustave Eiffel, the man behind Paris’ iconic tower, had a hand in designing a few of Fort de France’s standout landmarks, like the Gothic St Louis Cathedral and the Schoelcher Library. The latter was actually built in France, then shipped over to Martinique piece by piece in 1889. These days, it’s home to a museum, where you can learn about the life of Victor Schoelcher – a 19th-century, anti-slavery activist.

Fort De France
French and Caribbean flavours combine in Martinique’s Fort de France. Here, you can sip rum punch and sunbathe in a palm tree-dotted park, in between shopping for Yves Saint Laurent clothes and touring sites designed by Gustave Eiffel. Vendors shout out their catch of the day – in French – at the Creole market.
