WEST INDIES TOUR 2019

West Indies v England Tour Itinerary

What to expect

The Caribbean welcomes you with open arms and warm smiles. Each island has a character of its own, from simple and laid-back, to exotic and sophisticated. The pace of life is relaxed, service sometimes a little slow but then this is the Caribbean! Accommodation varies from luxury hotels to inexpensive guesthouses, you can dine in world-class restaurants or at roadside kiosks, shop in large duty-free malls or at open-air village markets. The carnival atmosphere during the cricket is electric with every boundary, every wicket, every ball greeted by a blast of reggae music and dancing – traditional village cricket this certainly isn’t! 

What do we offer

Hosted Tours - all singing - all dancing escorted tour, hosted by Bob Taylor and Clive Radley.
Independent Travel - Unescorted trips comprising flights, hotel, airport transfers and match tickets only.

Hosted Tours - enjoy the small group atmosphere

Enjoy the security, convenience and companionship of our hosted tours, safe in the knowledge that your itinerary, sightseeing and excursions have been carefully planned and will be escorted by our cricket hosts and local agents. Holidays are not only about what you see and experience...they're also about the people you meet and the great times you share. As well as exploring new and exciting places, one of the best discoveries you'll make is the group spirit and camaraderie of your fellow travellers. Being part of a small group you will quickly make friends with other travellers and your cricket hosts, like-minded people from all walks of life. 

Unescorted Trips - aimed at the independent traveller

If escorted tours are not for you, take a look at our 'unescorted holidays' where we offer a simple flight, hotel, airport transfer and match ticket package. This style of holiday excludes celebrity hosts, social functions, excursions, tour merchandise and cricket transfers.  

Solo Travellers

Many of the people who join us on one of our holidays are travelling by themselves. On any given departure, you’ll find a mix of couples and friends travelling together, as well as other solo travellers. One of the great benefits of our trips is that they allow you to be independent but provide security and company whenever you choose.

The Social Side

Welcome drink receptions, Q&A cricket forums, special sightseeing excursions and tour dinners are planned to let you mingle your fellow travellers, tour host and local staff in an informal and social setting. These popular gatherings will allow you to debate England’s current performance, while your cricket host provides a personal insight and analysis of the England team. The venue for the majority of our hosted functions will be our 'tour base hotel' on each island - see tour hotel options for details.

Match tickets

Cricket is a national passion and is played and supported with great enthusiasm throughout the Caribbean.  All match tickets are guaranteed as we purchase directly from the West Indies Cricket Board or their appointed agents. Our holiday prices include the cost of match tickets which are booked as season tickets, for the full 5 days of the Test.  

Our Prices

Our hosted holidays include economy international flights with British Airways. However, rather than impose a ‘one size fits all’ flight policy, with fixed travel dates, we will happilly quote for different flights, allowing you the freedom to choose when you fly, your airline and choice of cabin.  Please be aware that England's tour is taking place during high season in the Caribbean, so if you are looking to upgrade your flights or change your travel dates, do get in early as demand is sure to exceed supply.  

You are in safe hands

Holidays where we book your flights are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority - our licence number is ATOL5493. 

Passports

All British visitors require a standard 10 year passport. As many countries require passport expiry dates well beyond your dates of travel, we recommend that all passports are valid for at least 6 months after your scheduled return to the UK,
