Martinique cruises

While many are drawn to Martinique by the stretches of picture-perfect white sand and sparkling turquoise seas, visitors won’t be disappointed by the vibrant city of Fort de France. Begin your time here watching the world go by from the Place de la Savane, a seafront park with its own sandy beach where sun loungers are available to rent. The narrow streets lined with colourful building fronts are guaranteed to delight anyone who decides to take a walk away from the seafront and the Grand Marché street market is the perfect place to haggle alongside the locals and pick up some gifts to take home, particularly the rum for which this part of the world is famous. If it’s the food you want to try, Martinique is known for having a mix of French and Caribbean influences, specialties being accras (saltfish fritters) and boudin (sausage).
