Antigua & Barbados

Sun-soaked days on two Caribbean islands with two very different vibes, but one common thread: they introduced rum to the world.

Rum was a byproduct of sugar processing on plantations established by Dutch and British planters, who also introduced slavery and the slave trade to the Americas via Barbados.

At Antigua, the British Navy found a perfect protected port for repairs to their Caribbean fleet, dubbing it English Harbour. Antigua is small and vibrant; Barbados, much larger, has deep roots in world history.
