Castries, St. Lucia

St. Lucia Panorama

Sights of a Caribbean Island Set out to discover the glorious mountain and seaside landscapes of St. Lucia’s northern half. Board your motor coach for a brief exploration of Castries before ascending to the suburb of Morne Fortune for sweeping views of the city, its harbor and the distant island of Martinique. Continue past the official residence of the Governor General and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, housed within a restored colonial-style building. See the Inniskilling Monument, erected to honor the British regiment that overtook the French in 1796, then drive through the Cul de Sac Valley en route to the Benedictine Monastery. Take in the views as you stroll through its serene gardens, followed by an opportunity to engage with traditional Quadrille dancers, participating if you wish. After refreshments, return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
