Welcome to Episode 4 of our 4-Part Caribbean Vlog Series with Azamara Onward. This episode covers Guadeloupe and Tortola.

Guadeloupe, an overseas region of France located in the Caribbean, holds significant historical importance due to its colonization and strategic position in the region. We explored Fort Napoleon on Îles des Saintes' Terre-de-Haut Island, learining about the island's colonial past, as the fort was constructed during the Napoleonic era as a defense against potential invaders. The fortification stands as a testament to the island's military history and its role in protecting the French interests in the Caribbean.

Similarly, Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands, has its own significance. A walkabout of the harbor area in Tortola offered a brief look at the beauty of the harbor and available nearby shopping from local merchants.

Ended the day at Atlas Bar with ship's Hotel Director and friends, having orchestrated a successful surprise, concluding a very delightful evening!
