Approaching the cruise terminal in Port de France, Martinique aboard Celebrity Equinox

Our stop in Martinique was our first visit to this lovely island, so we made the best of it by taking an all-day ship tour. Over the course of 8 hours we visited: the ruins from a 1902 volcanic eruption, a rum distillery, a local restaurant for authentic Creole-influenced island cuisine, a botanical garden, and to balance off the rum distillery, a church.

For length, I have divided the photo highlights from Martinique over 3 posts. The first one covers our approach to the island and our visit to the ruins and the Musée Frank A. Perret, memorial to the Catastrophe of 1902 in St-Pierre.

  1. You have some lovely shadow images in here, one of my favorite subjects. Interesting about the volcano eruption as I had to go look it up. Over 28,000 people died in minutes. Nature is so powerful.
