Buccament Bay - St. Vincent's Ultimate Resort

Island in the stream

St. Vincent is perhaps the most primitive, primal island in the Caribbean. This is a land that time forgot; a small, volcanic island that is incredibly dense with rain forests and raging water falls. The coral reefs and vanilla sand beaches are as immaculate as any that the Caribbean can offer. La Soufriere, the great volcano, looms over the island like a titanic sentinel. There are the Falls of Baleine that are so remote that they can only be reached by boat. The great diversity of this island is readily available to the adventurous traveler. From the sedate Montreal Gardens to the craggy Mesopotamia region, an extraordinary range of visual delights can be experienced.

Today, this English speaking island is quite hospitable. Kingstown is the one main town on the island, and it is noted for its three story produce market.

The premier resort on the island is Buccament Bay. It is, in fact, the only resort on the island. This five star resort has small studio apartments to four bedroom plantation homes for sale.

There are quite a number of cruise ships that regularly travel to St. Vincent. The following is an overview of these ships, their itineraries and their amenities.

PRINCESS CRUISES

P&O CRUISES

The Royal Clipper is the largest square-rigged sailing ship in the world and the premier ship in the Star Clipper line. It travels to St. Vincent in the fall, winter and spring. This five-masted clipper ship is a work of sailing art, and it is definitely a throwback to a different era of sea faring adventures.
