A President's Trip: Gardens of the Caribbean, aboard the Sea Cloud II

January 18-29, 2005

Sea Cloud II Spend three nights at a deluxe Barbados beach resort, then embark on a fabulous 8-night cruise from Barbados to Antigua aboard Sea Cloud II, sister ship to the historic Marjorie Merriweather Post yacht, Sea Cloud. Conde Nast Traveler has rated Sea Cloud Cruises #1 for service on its Gold List for 2003. We will share the ship with Williams College and the National Trust.

Sea Cloud II (prow) Enriching the cruise: lecture series by horticulturalists and experts on Caribbean history, and musical evenings with concerts by internationally-known artists. Experience the history of the Caribbean, its tradition of gardening and plantation life, while savoring the ambience of a classic sailing ship.

Meet with representatives of the Barbados National Trust; visit Trust properties including Tyrol Cot and Wildey House; visit private plantations and gardens, specially opened for our group; stroll through tropical rain forests and beautifully-maintained botanical gardens; dance to the music of a local steel band while enjoying a barbeque dinner on deck; visit local historical sites (Alexander Hamilton home on the island of Nevis, and La Pagerie, the birthplace of Napoleon’s Empress Josephine on Martinique); swim and snorkel in the warm Caribbean waters; relax on the powdery white beaches.
