Themed cruises Martinique in cooperation with ZEIT-Reisen
This week-long sailing voyage in the southern Caribbean, led by Wolfgang Lechner, combines relaxed island hopping with fascinating stories about discoveries, colonial powers, pirates and rum.

On board, Wolfgang Lechner delivers several talks: In "Christopher Columbus in the Caribbean", he recounts the Admiral's later voyages, his conflicts, his failure and how he clung to the belief that he had reached Asia right to the end. In "Why Charles is the King of Saint Vincent", he explores British and French colonial policy, their wars over the islands and the still-tense relationship between sovereignty and dependency – including America's view of the Caribbean as the USA's "backyard".

A special topic is "Pirates of the Caribbean". At Wallilabou Bay on St Vincent, a central filming location for "Pirates of the Caribbean", we undertake a themed tour of the original locations. On board, Wolfgang Lechner frames this excursion with a screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and a talk about how pirates, privateers and buccaneers really lived – and who suffered at their hands.

A further discussion concerns rum. In his rum talk, Wolfgang Lechner explains how distilling emerged in the Caribbean, what role Columbus played with the introduction of sugar cane, how rum became the engine of the slave trade and the subject of early trade conflicts, and what significance it had for American independence. In addition, we visit a rum distillery near Marigot Bay on St Lucia with a guided tour and tasting.

The voyage takes us south under sail from Martinique via St Vincent with the picturesque Wallilabou Bay and on into the Grenadines. We'll visit Mustique, for example, with the famous "Basil's Bar", or Bequia with its long beaches. On the return leg to Martinique we'll stop at St Lucia. The island is famous for its distinctive Pitons. We'll visit the botanical garden with its waterfall and bathing opportunity, or sheltered Marigot Bay – a Caribbean classic that perfectly combines nature, film history and enjoyment.
