  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

    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.

  3. Day 3

    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.

  4. Day 4

    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.

  5. Day 5

    Fort-de-France, Martinique

    Fort-de-France puts Martinique’s French-Caribbean character within easy reach of the quay. The island’s capital wraps around a sheltered bay, with cafés, shops and the covered Grand Marché near the waterfront. The iron-framed Schoelcher Library was shipped from Paris in the 19th century. Nearby, Saint-Louis Cathedral reflects a city repeatedly rebuilt after fires and earthquakes. Beyond town, roads climb toward Balata Gardens and lead to rum distilleries and beaches beneath volcanic peaks.

  6. Day 6

    Portsmouth Dominica, Dominica

    Portsmouth, Dominica’s second-largest town, lies beside sheltered Prince Rupert Bay, with the forested Cabrits rising at its northern edge. Take a guided boat along the Indian River, where mangroves and overhanging palms frame the quiet route inland. On the peninsula, Cabrits National Park preserves Fort Shirley, an 18th-century British garrison overlooking the bay. Choose among river scenery, coastal views and the fort’s restored buildings. Portsmouth suits visitors who value landscape and history over resort polish.

  7. Day 7

    Deshaies, Guadeloupe

    Deshaies brings you to Guadeloupe’s quieter Caribbean coast, where a fishing village curves around a small harbor. Colorful homes, waterfront cafés and fishing boats give the center an easygoing feel, best explored on foot. Just beyond town, Deshaies Botanical Garden displays tropical plants, waterfalls and birds across a hillside estate. Nearby Grande Anse offers golden sand and a broad sweep of sea; swimming conditions can vary. Spend the day among gardens, beach and village life, at an easy pace.

  8. Day 8

    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.
