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.
-
Day 2
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 3
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.
-
Day 4
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.
-
Day 5
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 6
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 7
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 8
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 9
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.
-
Day 10
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.
