Day 1
Marigot, France
Philipsburg rewards a shore day spent beyond the cruise terminal. It sits on a narrow strip between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. The Dutch-side capital is compact and easy to explore on foot. Front Street pairs duty-free shops with the 1793 courthouse, while the Boardwalk follows Great Bay Beach. Cross the open border into French Saint-Martin for French bakeries, lively markets and another stretch of coast.
-
Day 2
Anguilla Island
Island Harbour is a working fishing village on Anguilla’s quiet eastern shore, where brightly painted boats rest beside the beach. From the waterfront, a short boat ride reaches Scilly Cay, a tiny offshore island known for its beachside dining. Come for fresh seafood, unhurried views and a glimpse of local life beyond the island’s busier resorts. The appeal is simple: salt air, clear water and a village pace.
-
Day 3
Gustavia St Barths, France
Gustavia makes a polished first impression, but its appeal is more than designer boutiques and superyachts. Swedish rule left its mark in the town’s name and the ruins of Fort Gustav above the harbor. From the waterfront, cafés, galleries and shops sit within easy walking distance, while Shell Beach lies just beyond the center. Come ashore for French-Caribbean style, with history close at hand.
-
Day 4
Charlestown Nevis
Charlestown is the quiet capital of Nevis, set between the Caribbean Sea and the slopes of Nevis Peak. Georgian-era buildings and a lively market give its compact streets their character. The Museum of Nevis History occupies the house where Alexander Hamilton was born. Beyond town, black-sand coves, the historic Bath Hotel and green mountain trails reward a day spent exploring.
-
Day 5
Falmouth Antigua
Falmouth sits on Antigua’s sheltered south coast, where two deep natural harbours draw yachts from around the world. A short journey brings you to Nelson’s Dockyard, the restored Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk its stone lanes, browse the marina, then climb to Shirley Heights for a sweeping view over English Harbour. Beyond the historic waterfront, Antigua’s coves and pale-sand beaches invite an easy afternoon by the sea.
-
Day 6
St Johns Antigua
Antigua rewards a day ashore with more than its celebrated beaches. St John’s, the compact capital, makes an easy starting point. Drive east to Nelson’s Dockyard, a remarkably preserved Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage site. English Harbour’s sheltered waters and restored stone buildings reveal the island’s maritime past. Or trade history for a swim at one of the island’s many coves, from resort beaches to quieter shores.
-
Day 7
Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
The Îles des Saintes reward visitors who prefer a quieter Caribbean. Most calls centre on Terre-de-Haut, where pastel houses, fishing boats and cafés line a compact waterfront. Above town, Fort Napoléon surveys one of the world’s most beautiful bays and houses a small museum and botanical garden. Rent a scooter or walk to Pain de Sucre, a sheltered beach with clear water and good snorkeling. Try the island’s famed tourment d’amour, a coconut-filled pastry, before returning to the harbor.
-
Day 8
Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe
Step ashore in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe’s commercial heart, where French-Caribbean life moves to a Creole rhythm. Near the cruise port, Place de la Victoire and covered markets offer island spices, fruit, and everyday Creole life. At the waterfront, Memorial ACTe explores the history of slavery and its enduring legacy across the Caribbean. Look for wrought-iron balconies in the old streets, or settle at a café before returning to the harbor.
