Barbados Cruise Destination

Barbados is frequently called ‘Little England’ and there are excellent reasons for this – it was British for over 300 years until it gained independence in 1966. Vast amounts of British influence remain in Barbados including the language and cars driving on the left side of the road. Of course there’s plenty of Caribbean influence too, tropical foliage, bright chattel houses (which were actually portable houses for plantation workers living in the fields) and the traditional laid-back attitude. Despite heavy development along the western and southern coasts, the rest of the island is full of sweeping natural views, especially rippling fields of sugarcane in the interior.
