Start your tour with the French built, capital city of Basseterre. Founded in 1625, it became the capital of St. Kitts in 1727. Many landmarks lie within the city confines dominated by Georgian architecture, cobblestone streets, squares, monuments and forts.
Your first stop is at Romney Manor, home of the world famous Caribelle Batik. Visit the demonstration room, where the acclaimed artists illustrate the wax and dye process of Batik making.
The Romney Manor Estate encompasses eight acres of historical ruins, ancient Carib Indian Rock drawings and a beautiful botanical garden.
The tour then continues along the coastal road through remnants of sugar cane plantations to Brimstone Hill Fortress.
At Brimstone Hill a video presentation on the fortress is shown. This magnificent fortress, sitting impressively atop 38 acres of limestone and sulphur composites, is the result of 100 years of slave labor and has endured many wars fought between English, French and Spanish troops, for its control.
From the fortress your tour returns to the ship via Basseterre's Caribbean Sea coastal road.
