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.
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.

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.

Roseau, Dominica
Raise a glass to the immaculate surroundings of Roseau, where beautiful beaches - alive with fine bubbles fizzing upwards from the geothermal activity below - wait for you. Dive into extraordinary snorkeling and diving experiences, amongst thriving marine life, active corals, and live volcanoes concealed below the waves. With attractive volcanic sands to relax on, and glorious, jungled mountains to explore, Roseau is an intoxicating welcome to Dominica's Caribbean island appeal. Nestled on the west coast, Roseau is the island's capital and a city surrounded by sprawling banana plantations, and cocoa fields. First taken by the French, then the British, a strong colonial imprint mingles with the local flare. Nowadays Old Market Square is crammed with locals trading huge vegetables, colorful fruits, and handmade jewelry - but the square has a darker past, and was the center of the island's slave trade. Head up to the former British fort, which offers a panoramic, postcard-perfect view from the top, of Roseau and the lush green mountains behind. The large botanical gardens offer more magnificent views, and you can walk amongst thriving tropical plant life, as parrots flutter, and add splashes of color to the greenery. The rainforest around the city conceals rich wildlife and waterfalls spilling into splash pools, while plantations give a taste of the island's heritage. You can also discover the second-largest hot spring in the world - Boiling Lake - which brews with angry volcanic activity in the steamy Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The hiking and snorkeling can take its strain - so simmer away any stiffness in a mineral-rich hot pool, or by indulging in a rum punch or two.

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

St. Kitts (Basseterre), Saint Kitts and Nevis
St. Kitts's verdant volcanic slopes rise from crystal clear Caribbean waters, promising a land of escape, relaxation, and rejuvenation. A place for ‘limin’ - the local word for kicking back, Caribbean style, you’ll be welcomed to an island paradise blessed with swarming reefs, hidden white-sand beaches, and irresistible shallow seas. Bigger sibling to nearby Nevis, St. Kitts is a place of unrestrained natural beauty. Soak up the dreamy Caribbean bliss, or explore sprawling island rainforests, teeming with hummingbirds and the distant sounds of waterfalls, as you walk the island’s vine-tangled paths. A ride on Basseterre’s scenic sugar train is a rumbling, immersive journey through the heart of this Caribbean island of culture and vivid unspoiled scenery. Carriages that once transported crops of sugar cane to the city sweep around long curving bends, revealing a spectacular introduction to St. Kitts. The landscapes here are beautiful, and things are no less spectacular offshore, where glorious crystalline waters invite you to dive with turtles and explore doomed wrecks like the River Taw ship – which has now exploded with marine life. In Basseterre itself, stop off to see the pea-green Berkeley Memorial clock, which stands in the Circus, surrounded by busy St. Kitts life. Independence Square is also waiting among the city’s charming Georgian buildings. Renamed from Pall Mall on the 19th of September 1983 - to celebrate the island’s independence - the pretty square gravitates around a colorful burbling fountain, and has a dark history, as a former slave market. Wary canons watch out over the waves far below at Brimstone Hill Fortress, a site of significant history, which dates back to 1690. Known as the "Gibraltar of the West Indies" due to its importance at the heart of the British empire, St. Kitts was one of the first islands in the West Indies to be colonized. Nowadays, its World Heritage Site fortress offers panoramic views along the coastline it was built to defend.

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.

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.

Castries (St. Lucia), Saint Lucia
Castries by Trolley Train
SLU-007The setting of Castries Harbour presents arriving visitors with a picture-perfect palette: green hills, azure sea, red roofs, white stucco.

Surrounding it on the square are colonial buildings with shady verandahs. Back on the train, your conductor keeps you informed about various points of interest as the route shifts northward toward Vigie Beach.

Nevis Beach Escape
BAS-007Ahhhh. Tranquil, laid-back Nevis. Once known by the indigenous Kalinago people as Oualie, meaning “Land of Beautiful Waters,” the name still holds true today. And, as you’ll discover during this delightful outing, you could well add “beautiful beaches” to that designation. From Port Zante pier in St. Kitts, it’s just a short walk to the water taxi marina where you’ll board a 20-seat vessel for the 30-minute whisk across The Narrows to your sandy destination of this day. Admire the dramatic Kittitian landscape along the way as gemlike Nevis appears ahead of you, its central mountain rising majestically from the azure ocean. Greeted at Yachtsman Grill beach by the sun’s embrace, a complimentary fruit punch welcome drink, and beautifully kept surroundings, consider the next three or so hours to be pure, undiluted off-time. The golden sand is soft, the water is inviting, the exploring is scenic, and there’s a well-regarded restaurant right at hand for food or beverage purchases. Settle in with your complimentary sun lounge and shade umbrella, cast any cares aside, and surrender to the gentle embrace of the Caribbean at its most alluring. Granted, it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta lounge it. Might as well be you. In due time, hop back on the water taxi for the return ride to St. Kitts. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Nevis Getaway At Pinney's Beach
BAS-009Like most siblings, the sister islands of St. Kitts and Nevis have their similarities – and their differences. The former has the popular, outgoing personality and showoff attitude. The latter is more the shy, retiring type – a very desirable attribute for those seeking the simple pleasure of a half-day of R & R in paradise. If that sounds good to you, then this excursion will, too. It’s the picture-perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of St. Kitts – and begins with a brief walk to the water taxi marina near Port Zante, followed by a gloriously scenic half-hour zip to Nevis. As you approach, the island’s signature peak rising majestically from the ocean makes for a stunning introduction. Once there, your watercraft will pull up to the shallows of Pinney Beach. Simply climb off with your beach bag in hand and step onshore to begin your 3-hour stint in the aforementioned paradise. A complimentary two-person cabana will be ready and waiting for you, along with several miles of beautiful powdery beach to explore and enjoy. The sun specializes in shining, the coconut palms in rustling. The water beckons all who can float or swim. And there are legendary thatch-roofed restaurant/bars and craft kiosks to scope out. Oh, and there’s a welcome beverage included per guest – just in case you needed further encouragement. Bliss-finding is the name of the game here on Nevis. By the time you reboard the water taxi for your return to civilization, you’ll be well relaxed. We promise. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

St. Kitts Scenic Railway
BAS-AAll aboard the 'Last Railway in the West Indies', the St. Kitts Scenic Railway. This unique island tour runs in a complete circle around St. Kitts allowing guests the opportunity to see the entire country by rail and highway in only three hours. St. Kitts Scenic Railway No trip to this two-island federation is complete without the experience of traveling on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway. This one-of-a-kind narrow gauge railroad was built almost a century ago to deliver sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill in the capital city of Basseterre. The railway now provides a fascinating way to see the island from the comfort of double-deck railcars built specifically for touring the island of St. Kitts. The upper level features a spacious open-air observation deck with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The lower level provides air-conditioned comfort with expansive six-foot vaulted windows. Island ambiance is evoked with comfortable rattan furniture, complimentary specialty drinks, island music sung by the Scenic Railway Choir, and a colorful narrative history of the Caribbean. On this memorable journey, the railway hugs the Northeastern coastline where rippling fields of sugarcane stretch from the shoreline up to the mountains. The high volcanic peaks rise nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, coated with lush green rainforests. The train rolls across tall steel bridges spanning deep 'ghuts', or canyons, and winds through small villages and farms. Your railway tour narrator will point out abandoned sugar estates with overgrown chimneys and windmills, and provide insight into the island's unique history. The duration of the train ride is approximately 1.5 hour. Scenic Drive Your experience is complemented by a scenic drive on board the along the Southwestern coast.

Sunset Cruise By Catamaran
BAS-010Silversea’s travelers travel for many reasons – cultural discovery, ever-inspired cuisine, shared peak moments, easy shipboard camaraderie. But few experiences can more reliably upgrade your state of mind than witnessing the St Kitts sun sink gently into the horizon from aboard a catamaran off the Southeast Peninsula coastline. Your two hours of simple delight begin with a 10-minute stroll to the Port Zante marina where your 30-guest powered catamaran waits to escort her daily visitants on a romantic journey out into Basseterre Bay – and the embrace of the setting sun. For the next 100 minutes or so, watch as the sky transforms around you from cobalt blue to striking blushes of pink, purple, red, and yellow. If you’re lucky and gaze carefully, you’ll catch the notorious green flash that occurs across the horizon as the sun descends into the ocean. Slipping through the tropical waters with cool breezes washing over you, share the magic of it all with shipboard companions as you sip your favorites from an open bar featuring delightful wines, refreshing cocktails, and – of course – champagne. A selection of flavorful hors d'oeuvres accompanies the liquid refreshments, ensuring your taste buds won’t feel left out. While the Kittitian sun will be at slumber by the end of the sail, you're likely to be feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and ready for anything. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.
