Day 2 - Friar´s Bay, St. Kitts

Nestled along the peninsula of St. Kitts, South Friars Bay shelters one of the island’s most popular beaches. You’ll find this gorgeous stretch of golden sand ideal for a spot of sunbathing, or you may prefer to uncover the fascinating history of the island. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a remarkable example of military architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries and reveals an exceptional view of the island’s beautiful coastline.

Day 3 - Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe - Portsmouth, Dominica

Welcome to Îles des Saintes, known as Les Saintes, a small group of eight tropical islands within the Guadeloupe archipelago, that harbours a distinctive French and Caribbean cultural fusion.  Discover the island’s quaint villages, with their collection of petite stone buildings and small, white sand beaches. Don’t miss a visit to Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site that reveals incredible views of one of the islands. In the evening, you’ll set sail to Portsmouth, Dominica.

Day 4 - Portsmouth, Dominica

Today, embrace the untouched beauty of Dominica with a stop at the charming port of Portsmouth, where rainforest-covered hills meet the sparkling Caribbean Sea. This serene coastal town invites you to unwind, explore, and connect with the island’s rich natural spirit—an authentic taste of the Caribbean at its most enchanting.

Day 5 - Deshaies, Guadeloupe

Located on the northwest shores of Guadeloupe, this picturesque village is renowned for its traditional fishing community atmosphere, colourful Creole architecture and stunning beaches, framed by verdant hills. Along with the amiable locals, lively markets and mouthwatering French-Caribbean cuisine, not surprisingly, Deshaies has emerged as a popular tourist destination, which you can discover for yourself today.

Day 6 - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

The capital of the chic Caribbean Island of Saint Barthélemy, Gustavia was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his own exclusive island getaway in 1785. In this vibrant town, uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping enclave and photograph the brightly painted, old wooden houses. Gustavia is also known for its gourmet dining, so be sure to feast on the delicious cuisine, a unique fusion of French and Creole culinary influences. 

Day 7 - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

On your second day in Gustavia, explore beyond the bustling shopping streets to discover Shell Beach, just a short stroll away. Relax on its stunning shoreline, dotted with colourful shells and crystal-clear waters. Nearby, visit historic sites like Fort Karl, or unwind in one of the charming cafés, soaking upthe laid-back elegance that defines Saint Barthélemy.

Day 8 - Gorda Sound, Virgin Gorda - Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Welcome to the Island of Virgin Gorda, named after its resemblance to a reclining woman and part of the exquisite British Virgin Islands. Virgin Gorda is popular for its laid-back Caribbean lifestyle and picturesque landscapes, as well as its incredible natural wonders. The most famous of all are The Baths, a series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders formed by volcanic eruptions. Set sail in the late afternoon from Virgin Gorda and enjoy a breathtaking sunset cruise through the legendary Sir Francis Drake Channel. As golden light dances across the water, we make our way toward the storied shores of Norman Island—an unforgettable end to a magical day in the British Virgin Islands.

Day 9 - Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters and vivid marine life, Norman Island offers a natural playground for a diverse range of activities, including hiking trails and caves to explore.

The island also comes steeped in pirate lore, with local legend claiming that this was a favourite hiding spot for pirates to bury their treasure; hence, why it is nicknamed ‘Treasure Island’ by locals and visitors alike. Without doubt, this is a wonderful destination for those seeking a tranquil and alluring tropical getaway.

Day 10 - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Your Emerald Cruises luxury voyage concludes in Puerto Rico and San Juan, the historic capital and oldest European-founded city in the Americas.
