Detailed Itinerary
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
Miles of sandy beaches, lively outdoor events, and a charming web of waterways help to make Fort Lauderdale a relaxed, vacation capital of Florida. The excitement is palpable, as cruise ships and gleaming yachts gather in the harbor ahead of adventures and luxury journeys across the waves. Soak up the relaxed atmosphere in the canal-laced “Venice of America,” as you enjoy big-label shopping on Las Olas Boulevard - or visit fancy restaurants and bustling art galleries. For a wilder experience, the swampy wetlands of the Everglades sprawl away nearby. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a lively stretch of sand, bordered by palm trees, and sprinkled with crowds enjoying the Sunshine State's sunny weather. The charming promenade of red-brick tiles extends right along the beach's length and rumbles with passing rollerbladers and cyclists. Glide across the waves while parasailing or relax with a coffee or a margarita in a beachfront bar, as volleyball games play out in front of you. For a quieter beach option, Las Olas Beach lies a little down the coast towards Port Everglades and has extra space to spread out and tan on smooth white sand. Spot alligators waiting patiently, and the toothy grins of crocodiles patrolling the murky waters of the Everglades - the USA's largest tropical wetlands. A haven of extraordinary wildlife, birds wade through its swamps, and black bears and panthers roam its wilds. Take a scenic flight to appreciate the full scale of the national park or zip along exploring its waterways in a fan-powered boat.
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.

Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands
Compact, but utterly gorgeous, the third biggest of the British Virgin Isles is one of the region's most spectacular - and a truly indulgent Caribbean escape to rejuvenate the senses. Sprinkled amid the mansions and private islands of the rich and famous, Virgin Gorda has somehow retained its secluded, castaway paradise atmosphere. Translating as Fat Virgin, the island was given its unusual name by Colombus, who noted the protruding stomach of the island's shape. Visit to dive deep into the island's relaxed essence, and to gorge on endless expanses of idyllic beaches and dreamy coastline. Visit a trademark white sand beach - like the slice of paradise at Savannah Bay - or rise up to the perspective offered from the elevated heights of Gorda Peak. At its southern end, Devil's Bay National Park provides a haven of relaxation, amid geothermal pools and mounds of scattered boulders. Secluded caves and rock pockets fill with seawater at the Baths, forming the perfect spot to sink into the welcoming water and unwind. Whether you choose one of the beaches here, or head to the island's plethora of other options, chances are you'll only be able to resist the call of the waves for so long. With tempting temperatures and electric blue overtones, the seas here are the quintessential Caribbean experience. Snorkelers also have rich pickings among crystal clear diving sites - blossoming with colorful fish and sea life.
St John , U.S. Virgin Islands
Like so many of the islands in the Caribbean, 2017's double whammy of hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated much of St. John. However, as relief funds get funneled into rebuilding, normality is gradually being restored, and St. John version 2.0 is emerging - bolder, brighter, and better. St. John's small size might just give it the edge over other desert islands. The U.S. purchased the tiny landmass (at just nine miles long, the island is the smallest of the three American Virgin Islands) from the West India and Guinea Company in 1917 and it remains under U.S. govern to this day. Historically speaking however St. John is Danish, who colonized it for almost 250 years before its sale to America. The Virgin Island National Park covers almost two-thirds of the island, meaning visually St. John is stunning and will remain that way for generations to come. This "gift" to the world comes thanks to Laurence Rockefeller who in 1956 gave the 5,000 acres of lush forest to the people of the island, with the caveat that it become a national park. Thus, velvety green hills slope into picture-perfect white sand beaches, which are ringed by turquoise seas. One very definite winner of the tourism hiatus since 2017 has been the marine wildlife. Underwater life was barely affected by the storms and the subsequent lack of tourism has allowed the eco-systems to propagate. The island's abundant coral reefs were not overly affected by the storms and today the waters are teeming with sea turtles, reef sharks, and sting rays.

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.

Deshaies, Guadeloupe
Deshaies’s natural, sheltered harbor, the deepest of the Caribbean, has always attracted seafarers. Long ago it was a haven for buccaneers, and it’s said there’s still hidden treasure on the island. Postcard pretty, with painted wooden creole homes, gathered around a little church, it won’t take you long to discover Deshaies’s - a hidden gem.
Whilst rightly associating Guadeloupe with transparent seas, lapping pristine beaches of colored sands, the island of Basse-Terre boasts so much more.
Benefitting from farsighted, ecological measures, both land and sea have been protected, resulting in a rich biodiversity waiting to be discovered. Whatever your energy levels, from the very active, to those who simply want to recharge their batteries, there’s a landscape just for you.
Trek through tropical forests, passing hot springs, and spectacular waterfalls to reach the smoldering crater of a volcano, bringing out the adventurer in you.
Stroll around the manicured botanical gardens amongst jeweled colored, exotic birds.
Cool off whilst exploring from a huge choice of unspoiled beaches, including the famous expansive Grande Anse, with its red sands and palm trees. Dive deep in the water, and swim with turtles. Revel in the panoramic beauty over a drink at sunset, accompanied by delicious, traditional Antilles cuisine.
If any of this piece of paradise looks familiar, it could be because since 2011, it’s been the setting of the much-enjoyed BBC television series Death in Paradise. Get in on the act

Fort-de-France, Martinique
The largest of the Windward Islands, Martinique is 4,261 miles from Paris, but its spirit and language are decidedly French, with more than a soupçon of West Indian spice. Tangible, edible evidence of this fact is the island's cuisine, a superb blend of French and Creole. Martinique is lushly landscaped with tropical flowers. Trees bend under the weight of fruits such as mangoes, papayas, lemons, limes, and bright-red West Indian cherries. Acres of banana plantations, pineapple fields, and waving sugarcane stretch to the horizon. The towering mountains and verdant rainforest in the north lure hikers, while underwater sights and sunken treasures attract snorkelers and scuba divers. Martinique is also wonderful if your idea of exercise is turning over every 10 minutes to get an even tan and your taste in adventure runs to duty-free shopping. A popular cruise-ship excursion goes to St-Pierre, which was buried by ash when Mont Pelée erupted in 1902.

Castries (St. Lucia), Saint Lucia
Explore a land of vibrant color, from the tranquil turquoise water surrounding it to the verdant green peaks of the famous soaring volcanic plugs - The Pitons; which give this mesmerizing island its form. Waterfalls thunder in the jungled interior, should you successfully drag yourself from St. Lucia's gleaming beaches and dive spots - where patchworks of colorful fish dance below the waves. Offering the picturesque island luxury of your wildest dreams, St. Lucia is a cinematic, thrilling Caribbean idyll. Marigot Bay served as the tropical backdrop for 1967's Doctor Dolittle film, and the island's amiable animal life is never too far away - spot flashes of bright red, as parrots zip between palm trees, before catching sight of dolphins splashing playfully offshore. Vigie Beach is a charmed spot to lie back and recline in the sun's glow, watching as overlapping layers of mesmerizing blue hues intertwine. St. Lucia's iconic Pitons deliver the perfect backdrop to any envy-generating photograph - rising exponentially from the calm waters like sharp shark fins. Castries is this heavenly island's capital, and while the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception may seem a little humble from the outside, the soft sounds of soulful hymns emanating from within are sure to draw you in. The astonishing interior glows with bright frescoes, lit up by the sunlight that spills inside, and atmospheric rows of flickering candles. There's also rich Caribbean color to behold at the ramshackle Castries Market, where you can take handfuls of fragrant spices, like nutmeg and cinnamon, and enjoy the singsong ritual of bartering as you move between tables heaving beneath bounties of green bananas and rosy mangoes.

Bequia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
An almost mythical utopia of virgin beaches, rustic rum shacks, and bays so scenic you feel like you're intruding - Bequia Island is an island mirage of Caribbean perfection. This is the real, unspoiled experience - and with just 6,000 locals living here, you quickly start to recognize the same smiling faces, welcoming you with outstretched arms. Offering glorious - often deserted - beaches of pure golden sand, and hillside sweeps of forest and almond trees, Bequia Island is an extraordinary feast for the senses. Unlike some of the flashier Caribbean islands, Bequia - a part of the Grenadines - is a rustic, unassuming, and off-the-beaten-path choice. The staggeringly picturesque natural harbor, Admiralty Bay, greets you on arrival and is peppered with day-tripping yachts bobbing on the gentle waves. The island's tiny capital, Port Elizabeth, sits behind, with a bustling fruit and vegetable market, turtle sanctuary, and stalls selling hand-crafted model ships. This tiny, pretty island is ridged along the center, and you can earn your beachside bliss with a gentle hike to the top of Mount Peggy, looking out over views of Grenada and St. Vincent. At just seven miles long, you can discover the whole island in a few hours - but that would be to miss the point somewhat. Bequia Island coaxes you in to slow the pace and soothe your soul on blissful beaches, where you can revel in the uncomplicated joys of sitting, reading, and swimming in heavenly shallow waters. The royally approved Princess Margaret Beach is one of the finest - an arching band of soft sand and cobalt-blue waters. As evening sets in, you may find you're beckoned to share communal barbecues of the day's fresh catch with the locals or indulge in rum-heavy cocktails at beachside bars, lashed together from sea-blanched wooden limbs.

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.

St Lucia Highlights
SLU-KExperience non-stop St Lucia beauty on this multi-stop outing that visits some of the island’s most visually stunning spots. Your transport for this scenic survey is a compact Japanese-style bus with air conditioning, heading out from the port through town and up the winding road to Morne Fortune viewpoint for sweeping vistas of Castries harbor and the northern coast. Returning to sea level via the Cul de Sac valley, you’ll pass Roseau Valley, a sprawling banana plantation, and the island’s west coast road to reach Anse La Raye, where a walk along the waterfront shows off this fishing village at its most picturesque. Driving southward through Canaries brings you to a viewing deck outside Soufriere to marvel at views of St. Lucia’s signature UNESCO World Heritage natural landmark – the majestic Pitons, one pointy peak just slightly taller than the other. Continuing through Soufriere and past its town square (once the site of a guillotine that brought more than a few aristocrats to an unhappy end during the French Revolution), you’ll arrive at Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens. Step off here for a 45-minute guided tour of this magnificently planted tropical showplace lush with mahogany trees, orchids, and anthuriums.

From here you will embark on an exhilarating enjoyable boat ride around the north coast to Great Bird Island, one of Antigua's best locations for snorkeling. Sailing to Great bird Island Great Bird Island is a 20 acre islet lying almost three kilometres north-east of Antigua. Visitors to Great Bird Island regard it as a 'desert island' dream. Named by sailors who were amazed at the number of birds that they found living and nesting there, Great Bird Island is a miniature paradise. White sand beaches at either end of the sandbar are the main attraction for visitors. Whilst it is better known for its superb beaches and closely surrounding coral reefs than any wildlife, it is also the only place you may be able to see an Antiguan Racer snake in the wild. (They are only 20 cms long at best and harmless). The entire world population of this snake lives on the island. As well as being the last refuge of the Antiguan Racer snake, it's the home for a variety of endangered creatures including exotic red-billed tropic birds (Phaeton astherus), brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), rare lizard, West Indian whistling ducks and the magnificent frigate bird or man o' war bird (Fregata magnificens). Snorkelling or swimming You will be given a tuition in snorkelling before you are invited to put on your mask, fins and buoyancy belt and go snorkelling accompanied with expert guides in the crystal clear waters! Or you can simply take a swim or relax and soak up the sun in the idyllic location on board the boat.
