The trip starts in Belém, where you will be warmly welcomed by the crew of the Twister. You will get to know the ship and the other embarkees and settle into your cabin. During the first evening, you will receive safety instructions, get to know the crew, discuss the itinerary and toast to a great 14 days!
The captain knows the area well and knows where the best spots are to anchor and get to know the country better. After leaving Belém, the first thing we will encounter is Devil’s Island, or Île du Diable in French Guiana. These islands are known from the book and films based on it, Papillon. There used to be a penal colony here, the remains of which can now be found overgrown by jungle.
After that, we’ll set sail for the Caribbean. This is one of the best sailing areas in the world to explore, with a beautiful ship at our disposal and a crew that knows all the best spots. But during these trips, passengers are also welcome to share their ideas, so if there are places on this route that you definitely want to visit, let us know and we’ll try to stop by if we can!
Like Tobago, for example. This former pirate’s nest was also called the hidden island, because it remained hidden from the rest of the (western) world for so long. Even though people were already living on the island 7,000 years ago. The name means ‘tobacco’. Daniel Defoe situated the story of Robinson Crusoe on Tobago. Although this island is a paradise for nature lovers, tourism here is less developed than in other Caribbean islands. On the north side, you will find beautiful beaches with palm trees and bays where you can be the only boat to anchor. On the south side is one of the most beautiful diving and snorkelling areas in the whole Caribbean: Buccoo Reef. If there is still time, we could take a look at the uninhabited islands on the east side of Tobago.
After another wonderful final evening on board, we will drop you off at Tobago on 10 December 2025.
