Detailed Itinerary
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.
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.

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.

Little Bay, Montserrat, Montserrat
As one of the Caribbean's most dramatic islands, Montserrat has always done things a little differently. While the rest of its neighbors were busy promoting tourism in its masses, Montserrat was content to sit back and stay in the (metaphorical) shadow. The island remains relatively undeveloped for the archipelago, with off-the-beaten-path beaches, hidden creeks and so much natural beauty that we fully expect this little island to soon become the next go-to eco-tourism destination. Much of Montserrat's discretion is because it is governed by seismic activity and has endured more volcanic eruptions than any other Caribbean island. These have earned it the nickname the "Pompeii of the Caribbean", understandably so, as much of the main city was covered in ash after the 1995 eruption. The cause of this is the mighty Soufriere Hills volcano, dormant since 2010 yet still spewing sulfur and smoke. However, it is not all doom and gloom, and Monserrat's other nickname is "the emerald isle", not only because of its lush verdant forests lined with lime trees and palms, but because its coasts bear a certain similarity to Ireland. And yes, Guinness is available! Montserratians are optimistic and fun loving, and Little Bay locals are the perfect example. Set at the very tip of the island, the town is intended as the new capital and is being enhanced with the modernity once would expect of such an honor. Little Bay Beach is without doubt one of the most beautiful in Caribbean and is a tonic for the soul.

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.

Mayreau Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Sip a tangy rum cocktail and leave your phone behind, as you sink into unbridled, undeveloped Caribbean bliss. An island gem of the Grenadines, Mayreau is the smallest island to house permanent residents, and a tiny gathering of just 200 are lucky enough to call it home. With limited infrastructure and less than two square miles to explore, this is a place to enjoy the simple beauty of the here and now, as waves gently splash, and the sun bronzes your skin. Dive spots invite you below the surface to a world of coral and tropical fish. Or you can stay put on Mayreau, to sprawl out across beautiful beaches like Saline Bay's - perhaps the island's most enticing wedge of sand and tranquil blue waters. If that sounds too indulgent, earn your beachside bliss with a short hike up the small, densely forested hill. You'll be rewarded with a great lookout across the other emerald islands, emerging from the azure seas. Jump aboard and hold on tight as your speedboat rips across the waves or take a leisurely sailing tour of the surrounding islands of paradise. The glorious Tobago Cays are close by, and these uninhabited lands sparkle with a world of color and sensory indulgence, immersing you in vistas lifted straight from the pages of a travel guide. Swim, snorkel, and let it all go.

Les Saintes, Guadeloupe
It's easy to imagine how these heavenly Caribbean islands earned their name - which translates as Islands of the Saints. Labeled as such by Christopher Columbus when he reached them in 1493, the islands have lost none of their heavenly beauty and appeal since. Promising crystalline tropical beaches and undisturbed shallow seas, Les Saintes is a blessed archipelago and a moreish vision of unspoiled Caribbean glory. Forest-coated island cones rise from the turquoise waters, and you can lounge on deserted beaches, or snorkel among teeming reefs that flourish with life below the warm waters. Jump into a kayak to get out on the sea, gliding above the incredible fish life blossoming just below the waves. Somewhat off the beaten track, the islands form a necklace of nine in total, but only two are occupied. Head out across the bobbing waves to revel in their beauty from the deck of a catamaran, or choose your spot on a banana-bend of soft sand like Pain De Sucre Beach. Relax in this impossibly gorgeous setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and a spectacular cliff that closely resembles Rio de Janeiro’s famous Sugarloaf Mountain - and lends this beach its name. The vast Fort Napoleon was constructed by the French to repel British attacks and is now home to a popular cactus park and gardens - which bloom with a colorful variety of flowers. Look out for the huge iguanas leisurely soaking up the sunshine.

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.

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.

Shore Excursions
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. And, as you’ll learn on this 90-minute introductory ride around town, the streets of Saint Lucia’s capital are just as colorful. Even the bright blue and yellow trolley train queued up and waiting for you seems to have gotten the memo. The loop winds through bustling streets and quiet lanes, passing government buildings and the local crafts market at Jeremie Street before arriving at central Derek Walcott Square for a brief inside visit to The Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Despite its name, there’s nothing minor about this impressive Victorian/Romanesque church dating from 1897. It’s the largest of its kind in the Caribbean. 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. Here on this picturesque strand, a longer stop invites you to dip a toe or two in the water, relax in the Caribbean breeze, and sip the complimentary rum or fruit punch provided. It’s a tough assignment, but you can handle it. Afterwards, the ride back to your ship takes barely ten minutes. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Island Sights & Rhythms
SLU-ACastries is St. Lucia’s lively capital and cruise port, as well as one of the island’s most photogenic regions thanks to its complement of coastal hills and long history of English and French cultural landmarks. This excursion focuses on that scenic terrain. Departing the pier via compact Japanese-style bus, enjoy a spin through central Castries and up the winding curves ascending Morne Fortune. Marvel at the homes perched along this lush hillside, then stop and enjoy typical Creole snacks and a tasty rum punch or fresh fruit juice at St. Marks, a classic Colonial-style house sitting strategically above the harbor. The views from this spot are magnificently panoramic; on a clear day, Martinique can even be made out in the watery distance. Next up is a drive to the Howelton Estate (1896), sporting a Victorian-era landmark home as its centerpiece. Old-world culinary and artisanal practices thrive here, most notably the fabrication of world-renowned wall hangings and apparel from Caribelle Batik. Enjoy a brief demonstration on how batik designs are applied to natural fabrics, perhaps purchase a piece to add to your life, and learn about the chocolate and coconut oil products also made in this unique cultural venue. A scenic drive further through the countryside and several small hamlets brings you to Stony Hill, a private home surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Refresh with a fruit juice and fresh-baked snack here before taking a relaxed exploratory stroll. Capture Instagram-worthy photos from this superb vantage point over Rodney Bay before reboarding the bus for the 40-minute drive back to port.

Castries is St. Lucia’s lively capital and cruise port, as well as one of the island’s most photogenic regions thanks to its complement of coastal hills and long history of English and French cultural landmarks. This excursion focuses on that scenic terrain. Departing the pier via compact Japanese-style bus, enjoy a spin through central Castries and up the winding curves ascending Morne Fortune. Marvel at the homes perched along this lush hillside, then stop and enjoy typical Creole snacks and a tasty rum punch or fresh fruit juice at St. Marks, a classic Colonial-style house sitting strategically above the harbor. The views from this spot are magnificently panoramic; on a clear day, Martinique can even be made out in the watery distance. Next up is a drive to the Howelton Estate (1896), sporting a Victorian-era landmark home as its centerpiece. Old-world culinary and artisanal practices thrive here, most notably the fabrication of world-renowned wall hangings and apparel from Caribelle Batik. Enjoy a brief demonstration on how batik designs are applied to natural fabrics, perhaps purchase a piece to add to your life, and learn about the chocolate and coconut oil products also made in this unique cultural venue. A scenic drive further through the countryside and several small hamlets brings you to Stony Hill, a private home surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Refresh with a fruit juice and fresh-baked snack here before taking a relaxed exploratory stroll. Capture Instagram-worthy photos from this superb vantage point over Rodney Bay before reboarding the bus for the 40-minute drive back to port.

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.

Step off here for a 45-minute guided tour of this magnificently planted tropical showplace lush with mahogany trees, orchids, and anthuriums.

Little Bay, Montserrat, Montserrat
Coastal Boat Tour
MNB-EJust a few-minute walk down the pier from your ship, a sleek 8-seat speedboat waits for those signed on for this unique excursion – a sightseeing spin south along the Montserrat shoreline to survey the aftereffects of the famous 1997 volcanic eruption that buried the city of Plymouth. This two-hour journey of exploration offers firsthand perspective on a highly scenic coastal environment and the resilience of the people who live along it – as told by an eruption survivor with insider insights on how Montserrat’s savaged landscape has fared in the decades since the event. See “The Buried City” Your leisurely sightseeing cruise begins with breathtaking views of coastline clad in rugged cliff faces, beautiful hillside homes, and serene bays and beaches. Approaching the remnants of Plymouth – once the island’s capital, now its "Buried City" – a scene of astonishing volcanic devastation takes over the landscape. Rooftops peeking out from beneath mountains of ash and pyroclastic flows in the distance serve as haunting reminders of the catastrophic power of Mother Nature. As you sip the complimentary beverages served onboard, your survivor/guide provides a compelling before-and-after narrative that helps you grasp what it was truly like to live through that extraordinary day. The small group size allows for easy question-asking and discussion. The return cruise to the pier lasts about 30 minutes. The memories and photos of what you’ve just witnessed? Those will last far longer. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Cruise to Plymouth
MNB-UIt begins like many other sightseeing cruises: a short walk along the cruise pier brings you to a comfortable catamaran that will carry you out for a relaxed sail along a scenic shoreline – in this case, from Little Bay southward along Montserrat’s eastern coast. Today’s ride stays classically scenic and beautiful as you skirt the coast, admiring lovely homes and stunning geologic features, ducking into alluring coves and beaches, and listening as your local guide points out areas of particular interest. Then things get unusual… Because you’ve now arrived at the bays and gorges affected by a pyroclastic event that transformed this Leeward Island’s landscape forever. It was the mid-1990s when tiny Montserrat exploded onto the international news scene after a dramatic series of volcanic eruptions in the Soufrière Hills sent red-hot pyroclastic flows streaming down the hills and ravines, across square miles of what once were farmlands and villages, and into the then-capital city of Plymouth – leaving it uninhabitable and nearly buried in ash 40 feet deep. As you near the Plymouth coast, you’ll be able to see what remains of the Soufriere Hills volcano, along with panoramic vistas of the flows and remnants of the abandoned city. It’s hard not to marvel at the uniquely barren landscape left behind and the survival stories shared by your knowledgeable guide. In fact, the 30-minute cruise back to port might feel a tad less tranquil once you’ve witnessed the magnitude of devastation Mother Nature rained down along these very shores just decades ago. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Island Aerial Adventure
MNB-01Experience a once-in-a-lifetime aerial adventure, witnessing the breathtaking beauty of Montserrat and Antigua from the luxurious safety and climate-controlled comfort of an Airbus EC130 helicopter. A glass-surrounded cabin with six raised stadium-style seats and no interior partition ensures that every passenger gets a front-row view on this amazing scenery. Magnificent calm & Mother Nature’s fury After a short drive to the heliport and a safety briefing, take to the air in this 6-seat super-machine with your pilot narrating the landmarks via headphones as you skim over your anchored ship and Little Bay Harbour. Ascending along Montserrat’s southeastern coastline, you’ll watch glimmering turquoise water and tranquil green mountainsides transition into the awe-inspiring Soufrière Hills, rising to some 3,000 feet, and the Tar River Gorge, dramatic reminders of the pyroclastic flows that surged through this area during the famous mid-1990s eruption. Other telltale remnants include abandoned villages, boulders as big as large homes ejected from the volcano, and the charred remains of Montserrat’s former capital, Plymouth, now mostly buried under 40 feet of ash. Flightseeing over Antigua, too Having circled Montserrat to capture rarely glimpsed viewpoints, you’ll head offshore toward Antigua, a second tropical Caribbean gem surrounded by white, powdery beaches. Watch out along the way for whales, turtles, and other sea life in the Lesser Antilles waters below. During your airborne lap around Antigua, snap epic photos of sprawling Cades Reef, Jumby Bay, Prickly Pear Island, and Bird Island. Flightsee over a lush interior still dotted with mills marking the isle’s famous history with sugar. A rare overhead vantage point on the superyachts anchored in Falmouth Harbour provides the glamour, whilst views over Shirley’s Heights Lookout and Nelson’s Dockyard reveal the awe of Antigua's UNESCO World Heritage Site..

Drakes Seat, Magens Bay & Skyride to Paradise Point
THS-FIt all begins with a scenic 15-minute drive by open-air safari bus from the cruise port up to Drake's Seat Scenic Lookout, home to commanding panoramic views of St. Thomas’ north coast and even out to St. John and the British Virgin Islands.

There are also bites to be purchased at the restaurant, enticing local souvenir shops to browse, and a vertiginous stroll out on the new Skywalk platform to experience – if you dare. A return gondola ride down the mountain brings you to the Skyride base station – conveniently located across the street from the cruise port and a short walk back to your ship.
