Barbados to St. Thomas

Arrive in Bridgetown and board the SeaDream II. Settle in to your cabin, then attend a welcome dinner.

Bequia is the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and long silvery stretches of beach. Notice the colorful model boats which are set up on stands around the tiny harbor, representing the island's maritime history. Anchor at Port Elizabeth and enjoy a scenic land adventure as well as sport fishing and a trip to the neighboring island of Mystique.

With nearly 3,000 residents, Portsmouth is the second largest town in Dominica. Dock alongside the unique wooden pier or lie at anchor in Prince Rupert Bay to experience several activities from the marina. Navigate the Indian River on a land adventure or explore Cabrits National Park.

Anchor in the bay off Bourg des Saintes, the main village on the island. Just beyond the sister island of Ilet a Cabrit to the north, you can see the main island of Guadeloupe and volcanic La Soufriere mountain. A short zodiac ride takes you into the center of this charming village, which offers many shops, restaurants and cafes. If you feel energetic, hike up to Fort Napoleon, which has been converted into a museum, for stunning hilltop views. Take one of the ship's mountain bikes or relax on the beach for some sun, sand, and palm trees.

Less commercial and laid back than its neighbor, St. Kitts, Nevis offers dramatic views of the potentially active volcanic Nevis Peak. Charlestown does not offer too many sightseeing or shopping opportunities, though the house where American statesman Alexander Hamilton was born is only a short walk away along the waterfront (now the Museum of Nevis History). To enjoy Nevis to its full potential, divide your day into segments. In the morning, explore the island, either above or below the water. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, and take in a romantic sunset from the beach in the evening.

This small island belonging to the French West Indies has so much to offer. Incredible beaches, resorts, restaurants and land activities are all available on this island gem. Ask one of the ship's officers to take you on a hike or bike ride around the island.

Take a hike to visit the famous Foxy’s Bar at Great Harbour (hopefully the boutique is open), or stroll a few meters down the beach to the Soggy Dollar Bar. Snorkel equipment is provided.

The capital and largest city in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Charlotte has two ports of call. Dock at Crown Bay after breakfast and disembark for your continued independent journeys.
