Day 1: Bridgetown, Barbados | Embark

Embark on an exciting Caribbean journey, starting in Bridgetown, Barbados, known for its lively culture and stunning beaches. From there, board your luxurious Emerald Cruises yacht and set sail for an unforgettable adventure in paradise.

Please book your flight to arrive into Bridgetown prior to 04:00 PM.

Day 2: Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Soufriere, once the capital of Saint Lucia, sits within the Qualibou Depression, the crater of an ancient volcano. Explore its natural wonders, including soothing mud baths, sulphur springs, and the iconic Gros Piton and Petit Piton lava domes. Don’t miss the opportunity to savor the local cuisine, featuring dishes like green figs with saltfish and flavorful callaloo soup with crab or shrimp.

Day 3: Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

Iles des Saintes, known as Les Saintes, is a miniature archipelago of eight tropical islands with a distinctive French and Caribbean culture fusion. Discover quaint towns with their collection of petite stone buildings and small white-sand beaches. Don’t miss Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site with incredible views of one of the islands.

Day 4: Falmouth Harbor, Antigua and Barbuda

Located on the island of Antigua, Falmouth Harbor is a peaceful port encircled by historic buildings and plantation mansions of a bygone era. Nelson’s Dockyard is worth visiting. The UNESCO World Heritage site dates back to the 18th century and houses fascinating naval heritage, boutiques, bars, and restaurants.

Day 5: Charlestown | Cades Bay, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Nevis and Saint Kitts are a dual-island nation in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of West Indies in the Caribbean Sea — Nevis is the smaller island of the two. Edged with unspoiled curves of sand, the island is dotted with Georgian-style buildings, remnants of sugar plantations, and casual, beach-shack eateries.

Day 6: Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy

Gustavia, the capital of the Caribbean Island of Saint Barthelemy, was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his island getaway in 1785. In this vibrant city, you can uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping region, photograph the brightly painted wooden houses, and feast on unique cuisine with French and Creole influences.

Day 7: Prickly Pear Cays, Anguilla | Marigot, Saint Martin

This morning, cruise to Anguilla, the most northerly of the British Leeward Islands, popular for diving, snorkeling, and glass-bottomed boat rides. Anguilla is a low-lying island of coral and limestone. It has beautiful island scenery of palm trees, plantation houses, and vibrant viridian waters contrasting with white sand. In the late evening, sail to Marigot.

Day 8: Marigot, Saint Martin | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
