  1. Day 1

    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.

  2. Day 2

    Basseterre St Kitts

    Begin in Basseterre, St Kitts’s compact capital, where Georgian buildings and busy market streets reveal the island’s layered past. At Independence Square, once a slave market, pause among mature trees before browsing nearby shops and cafés. Then leave town for Mount Liamuiga’s volcanic slopes, former sugar estates and beaches of dark volcanic sand. Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rewards the drive with stone ramparts and wide Caribbean views.

  3. Day 3

    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.

  4. Day 6

    Willemstad Curacao, Netherlands

    Willemstad is one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive ports, built around the deep inlet of St. Anna Bay. Punda and Otrobanda showcase Dutch colonial architecture and form part of the city’s UNESCO-listed historic area. Walk across the Queen Emma Bridge, a floating pontoon span linking the two districts. Beyond the harbor, Curaçao offers sheltered coves, clear water and beaches for an unhurried afternoon.

  5. Day 7

    Oranjestad Aruba, Netherlands

    Oranjestad makes a striking first impression: Dutch gables in Caribbean colors line streets beside a busy harbor. Beyond the waterfront, the capital’s compact center rewards a walk, with shops, cafés and landmarks including Fort Zoutman. Aruba’s dry, sunlit landscape feels close at hand, while beaches and clear water are an easy ride away. Come ashore for a relaxed city stroll, then choose whether to linger over lunch or head for the coast.

  6. Day 9

    Santa Marta Colombia, Colombia

    Santa Marta sits between the Caribbean Sea and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest coastal mountain range. Founded in 1525, it is Colombia’s oldest surviving city and a gateway to Tayrona National Natural Park. Explore the historic center, visit the Tairona Gold Museum, or follow the coast toward beaches and fishing villages. Inland, Minca offers cooler air, coffee farms, and mountain views.

  7. Day 10

    Cartagena Colombia, Colombia

    A short ride from Cartagena’s cruise port brings you to its UNESCO-listed historic centre and handsome colonial streets. Inside the old walls, flower-draped balconies, shaded plazas and broad stone lanes lead to cafés, churches and lively markets. Visit Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the great fortress built to defend the harbor, then explore colorful Getsemaní. Come early, before the midday heat settles over the plazas, and save time for a cool drink beside the Caribbean.

  8. Day 12

    San Blas Islands Panama, Panama

    San Blas is no conventional cruise port. More than 300 islands and cays fringe Panama’s Caribbean coast. Here, clear water and white-sand beaches meet Guna Yala, an Indigenous territory with a distinct culture. Choose a boat outing for reef snorkeling, or visit a Guna community and discover mola textiles, sewn by Guna women. Access and transport require advance planning, typically through a local operator or community.

  9. Day 13

    Colon, Panama

    Colón puts you at Panama’s Caribbean gateway, where the Atlantic meets the Panama Canal. At Agua Clara Locks, watch ships pass through the expanded canal toward Gatun Lake. Nearby, Portobelo and San Lorenzo preserve Spanish colonial fortifications built to guard Caribbean trade routes. Colón is best approached as a gateway, with its strongest draws found in the canal, historic coast and surrounding rainforest.
