Detailed Itinerary
Bridgetown, Barbados
Bridgetown, the captivating capital of Barbados, combines faded colonial history, rich tradition, and vivid white beaches plucked directly from your wildest imagination of Caribbean perfection. Recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its beautifully preserved colonial architecture, Bridgetown's mask of modernity covers a core of complex history and fascinating culture. Sherbet-colored buildings line up to overlook the waterfront of the Constitution River at “The Careenage” - where gleaming ships bob on the blue water, and peaceful strolls along a wooden boardwalk await. Stop for a sobering moment at the commemorative sign honoring the people traded at this spot when Bridgetown was the British Empire's most important harbor and the first stop on the Transatlantic Slave Trade route. Just a five-minute stroll from here is Carlisle Bay - a postcard-perfect place where you'll find crystal-clear, turquoise seawater glowing in the Caribbean sun, and a mile of soft white powder sand. A treasure trove for divers, the shipwrecks scattered below the shallow water's waves are now inhabited by turtles and swirling, rainbow-colored tropical fish. Head to the backstreets, where street food vendors serve up spicy chicken soup, barbecued pigtails, and thirst-quenching coconut water. There are bargains aplenty to be had on Broad Street, where duty-free malls and souvenir stalls cram together, vying for your attention. Roebuck Street is the spot where one of the Caribbean's favorite drinks, rum, was discovered - having been created here from the by-products of the island's booming sugarcane trade. Nowadays, the street is lined with bars splashing every variety of the deliciously spicy dark libation imaginable into glasses. For a touch more culture, visit one of the oldest synagogues in the Americas - Nidhe Israel Synagogue, which was built in 1654. The adjoining museum tells the story of Barbados’ Jewish immigrants, who were instrumental in the island's development.
Kingstown, St. Vincent, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Kingstown's shopping and business district, historic churches and cathedrals, and other points of interest can easily be seen in a half day, with another couple of hours for the Botanic Gardens. The coastal roads of St. Vincent offer spectacular panoramas and scenes of island life. The Leeward Highway follows the scenic Caribbean coastline; the Windward Highway follows the more dramatic Atlantic coast. A drive along the windward coast requires a full day. Exploring La Soufriere or the Vermont Nature Trails is also a major undertaking, requiring a very early start and a full day of strenuous hiking.

St George's, Grenada
With beautiful seascapes, lush vegetation, and intense natural ingredients, the Isle of Spice has the perfect recipe for a flavorful visit. A true sensory experience, St George's is famous as the world's second-biggest exporter of the spice, nutmeg. Just as much of a treat for the eyes as it is for the palate, its jungled mounds, idyllic white-sand beaches, and turquoise Caribbean seas are a glorious sight to behold. Thrilling waterfalls pour through the rainforest, while banana and cocoa groves spread wildly across the island. Grenada's capital rolls down to an attractive waterfront decorated with pretty floral buildings, Georgian architecture, and picturesque terracotta roofs. Breathe in deep at the spice market, where the freshest ingredients fill stalls. Heaps of fresh nutmeg, vanilla pods, cinnamon, and cocoa beans all add to the colorful mosaic. Dip into the waters of Bamboo Waterfall, or venture to Grand Etang, to explore the rich and fertile interior of this scenic island, where mischievous mona monkeys explore treetops and a collapsed volcano holds the waters of a glorious caldera lake. If all of that exploring sounds like hard work - don't worry, the island is skirted by some of the Caribbean's dreamiest visions of seaside luxury - from famous natural beauties like Grand Anse Beach to secret stretches hidden amongst the palm trees. Soak in the vivid colors, best enjoyed with an iced cocktail and a taste of the locally distilled, spiced rum punch.

Trois Ilets, Martinique
Martinique is well known as France's favored Caribbean isle, but it is the little commune of Trois Ilets where the two cultures really mesh together. Found directly opposite the busy capital Fort de France, Trois Ilets retains its historic culture - much of it due to Marie Josephine Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, aka Empress Josephine of France aka Mrs Napoleon Bonaparte. In fact, so proud are the Martiniquais of their famous daughter that they have sanctified her childhood sugar plantation home. La Pagerie is a fascinating museum housing rich colonial artifacts, including some of Napoleon's rather risque love letters to his future wife. Trois Ilets was once an important French colony, and as such played an active role in the slave trade. A trip to the Savane des Esclaves will have you learning of the plight of Neg Marrons - and others like him - slaves who fled the plantations to live alone in the hinterland. Visit the reconstruction of a typical rural shack where Neg and others managed to survive by living off the land and by their wits. Like many Caribbean villages, life is centered around the church square. Colorful wooden houses with locally thrown pottery tile rooves flank the typical Creole village, while the church itself (where Empress Josephine was baptized) takes pride of place. In fact, so important is pottery to the local culture that the entire village referred to as “Le village de la poterie” in the 18th century. Unsurprisingly though, the island's natural beauty takes a front seat. Many world-class beaches are found here including the lovely l’Anse a l’Ane, and the peninsula of Pointe du Bout (literally End Point). This latter place is where you'll find most of the seaside fun. Think Hobbie-Cats, kayaking, windsurfing, and jet skiing for island exploration - the Genipa Mangrove at the end of the island begs discovery if you like to take to the waterways. If your idea of heaven involves the more simple pleasures of reading and strolling under the shade of the palms, then look no further.

Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
The steep, spectacular hills that surround St. Thomas' exquisite harbor provide a fitting entry point for this island of overwhelming natural splendor. The jungled mountains reach up above tempting beaches and scuba diving sites, while Charlotte Amalie - the island's capital - sprawls down toward the water, bedecked with shops and tasty restaurants. Part of the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands - together with St. John and St. Croix - these lands were purchased by the U.S. in 1917. Nowadays, St. Thomas is a patchwork of cultures, and a lively welcome to the islands, serving as a gracious host to the many visitors who linger - as well as those who jump on ferries, yachts, and catamarans to explore the blessed beaches of the Caribbean's other retreats. A stunning island of dramatic jungled scenery, keep your camera close to hand as you swing up the Skyride to Paradise Point, to look down over the natural amphitheater of the dock and city below. Snap some more postcard-perfect shots at Drake's Seat - said to be Sir Francis Drake's lookout point, where he scanned the horizon for approaching enemy ships. Nowadays, the views over Magens Bay and the infinite sea are always peaceful, and this is a great spot to catch a fiery Caribbean sunset spilling across the sky. Take a catamaran cruise to explore the shining coastline or seek out the glorious coves and caves that are hidden around the island's perimeter. Land on the secluded shores of tiny islands, before scuba diving and snorkeling above the twisted limbs of lost ships, reclaimed by the waters and inhabited by curious tropical fish life. Kayak over still lagoon waters or take the chance to lay back on soft beaches strewn with tiny shells, as St. Thomas's beauty washes over you.

St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda
Lush and lively, Antigua is a bedazzling Caribbean destination, gorged with sunshine and crisp white sand beaches. Historic forts, sparkling coastline, and dense rainforest all contribute to Antigua's land of thrilling natural beauty. With its bright blue to turquoise sea gradients - the beaches are vibrant and plentiful, and the island has no shortage to choose from, with a rumored 365 options. Experience the beauty on horseback, as your ride pounds across the sands, and the wind whips through your hair. Choose to loll in a catamaran offshore, or lay back on a bed of the softest sand to soak it all in. Beach shacks cook up fresh seafood and spicy goat meat curries if you're feeling hungry. St. John's glows in the sunshine, with flamingo pink and baby blue paint boldly coating vivid Georgian buildings. Lively markets offer an authentic slice of Antiguan life, while museums celebrate the island's revered cricketers like Viv Richards, and the story of independence. The whacks and whoops of makeshift cricket games hint at the island's British history, and you can see more of this heritage at Falmouth Harbour - which was center of the British presence in the Caribbean. The area is still filled with sailors and docked yachts, as well as the only working Georgian dockyard in the world. Constructed in 1725, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nelson's Dockyard, was led by the admiral Horatio Nelson himself and is a fascinating time warp. Hike up to viewpoints here, which offer glorious views of the forest-clad inlets, craggy cliffs, and pointed hills. The stone towers of sugar mills dot the island, and hint at the tragic history of slavery, amid the island's sugar trade past.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles
Offering an island bounty of electric-blue Caribbean Sea waters, sensational scuba diving, and elevated viewpoints, Philipsburg revels in Caribbean beauty. St. Maarten is an unusual island of dual personality - partitioned into French and Dutch sides. It was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second journey to the Americas in 1493. A truce was eventually brokered in 1648, sharing the island between the French and Dutch - an arrangement that endures today. A Caribbean mirage of soft sand beaches and perfect snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities - arrive on the south of this beautiful island at the Dutch side's capital, Philipsburg. Squeezed between the bay and the Great Salt Pond, the city offers waterfront strolls in the gentle breeze, duty-free bargains, and plenty of room to sit and drink in the dazzling sea views. Clear, turquoise waters hold underwater worlds of colorful corals and fish, while glorious beaches of typical Caribbean beauty invite you to sprawl out beside the tempting shallow waters. Look out to see occasional jet skis skirting the waters, as you recline on sand flanked by lush vegetation on both sides. Tear into the fresh local produce and taste the island's sensational seafood - from lobster to red snapper and conch cocktails. Don't miss the opportunity to try out the island's favorite tipple, either - guava berry rum. Beautiful green peaks offer stunning hikes, amid the rich tangle of jungle scenery. Maho Beach may also be on the radar - the tranquility of this small beach is regularly interrupted by the deafening roar of jet engines, as Princess Juliana International Airport's runway comes perilously close to the sands. Huge planes skim just above the beach before touching down, and the blasts of departing jet engines blow violent gales out toward the waters.

Calm animal, it is very simple to approach it gently, and it even happens to be curious. You will then have the opportunity to swim with turtles without difficulty, and to spend a moment out of time to admire them moving slowly underwater.
