Take a small ship cruise to the island nation of Dominica, that forms part of the archipelagos of the Lesser Antilles and the Windward Islands. It is located South of the island of Guadeloupe and North of the Island of Martinique, with its official language being French but most of the population also speaks Dominican Creole. Read your favorite book or go for a relaxing swim on the picturesque beaches of Champagne and Mero Beach. You could also visit UNESCO World Heritage Site, Morne Trois Pitsons National Park to absorb the island's amazing flora and fauna. Highlights within the park include the Boiling Lake, the Victoria Waterfall, and Boeri Lake.
