Virgin Voyages' guide to Bridgetown, Barbados

The ideal mix of turquoise waters, sprawling white sand beaches, historic hubs and endless opportunities for exciting outdoor adventures.

Where History Meets Paradise

Located on the southwest coast of Barbados is the picturesque port town of Bridgetown. With bountiful beaches everywhere you look here it’s almost impossible not to breathe a sigh of relief as soon as your toes touch the warm white sand – though this quaint beachside town has a lot more to offer than initially meets the eye.

Shore Excursions

It’s Always a Beautiful time in Bridgetown

High tea at sunbury plantation house.

Visit the Sunbury Plantation House, a Bridgetown staple since the 1600s, where you’ll be able to explore the nooks and crannies of this beguiling sprawling home that reads almost like a museum at times with each eclectic room offering a different insight into bygone Bridgetown eras. After your tour indulge in high tea, scrumptious sandwiches and tasty treats in the courtyard.

The Rum Accords in St. Nicholas Abbey

One of three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere, this plantation built in 1658 is now one of the biggest compounds welcoming visitors in the Caribbean. Take a guided tour of this magnificent place and learn about its torrid history before making your way to their rum distillery to learn and enjoy iconic St. Nicholas Abbey Rum or to explore the sprawling surrounding gardens, orchards and the nearby instagram-worthy Cherry Tree Hill.

Deep Sea Fishing — Barbadian Style

Climb about an impressive 40’ Viking Sport Fisherman boat (one of the most comfortable fishing charters in the fleet) and get ready for the fishing experience of a lifetime. With the highest quality fishing equipment and the opportunity to catch wahoo, dorado, tuna or blue marlin you’re in for a treat (and potentially the freshest seafood you’ll ever have).

The Icon of the Seas has all the bases covered no matter what type of vacation you are looking to have.
