  1. Day 1

    Philipsburg St Maarten, Netherlands

    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.

  2. Day 2

    Tortola Island BVI

    Tortola gives you a vivid introduction to the British Virgin Islands: green, steep-sided hills rise above a sheltered Caribbean harbour. In Road Town, browse Main Street, visit the J.R. O’Neal Botanic Gardens, or pause at a waterfront café. Beyond town, winding roads lead to Cane Garden Bay and island viewpoints. Ferries make nearby islands accessible, while Tortola itself rewards an unhurried day of beaches, scenery and local rum.

  3. Day 2

    Norman Island BVI

    Norman Island rewards travellers who arrive by sea. Its sheltered Bight is one of the British Virgin Islands’ best-known anchorages, framed by steep green hills and clear water. At Treasure Point, three sea caves invite snorkellers to explore their shadowed entrances and bright shallows. Come ashore for a beachside pause, or stay aboard and watch boats settle into the bay. The island’s pirate lore adds intrigue, but its real treasure is the water.

  4. Day 3

    Virgin Gorda Island BVI

    Virgin Gorda swaps city bustle for clear water, quiet coves and a dramatic coastline. At The Baths, granite boulders form a maze of sea pools and narrow passages beside the beach. Some routes involve ladders and slippery rocks, so wear shoes with grip. Spanish Town is the island’s main settlement; North Sound is known for sheltered anchorages and sailing. Go early to explore The Baths before the busiest hours, then cool off in the Caribbean.

  5. Day 4

    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.

  6. Day 6

    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.

  7. Day 7

    Mayreau Island

    Mayreau is one of the Grenadines’ smallest inhabited islands, with a village reached by a steep road from the shore. Its appeal is quiet beaches, clear water and Salt Whistle Bay, a sheltered crescent popular with sailors. Walk uphill to the compact settlement and its Catholic church, then look across the neighboring Grenadines. For a day ashore, Mayreau rewards unhurried exploration rather than a packed itinerary.

  8. Day 8

    Bridgetown, Barbados

    Bridgetown rewards travelers who leave the ship and walk into Barbados’ compact capital. Its UNESCO-listed Historic Bridgetown and Garrison trace the island’s colonial history; Broad Street offers a lively glimpse of daily life. Pause beside the Careenage, where boats thread the old harbour, then browse shops for local rum and Bajan crafts. Carlisle Bay’s pale sand and clear water lie just beyond the city.
