Day 1 - Bridgetown, Barbados

Your exciting Caribbean journey begins in Barbados, an island-nation renowned for its vibrant culture, colonial heritage and picture-perfect beaches. In Bridgetown, you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on a memorable voyage into paradise.

Please book your flight to arrive into Bridgetown prior to 04:00 PM.

Day 2 - Soufrière, Saint Lucia

Today, you’ll sail into Soufrière, the original capital of Saint Lucia, which is dramatically located in the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano. Here, you can indulge in therapeutic mud baths and sulphur springs, as well as admire the iconic pair of lava domes, Gros Piton and Petit Piton – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be sure to sample the delicious local cuisine, savouring anything from green figs and salt fish to traditional callaloo soup made with fresh crab or shrimp.

Day 3 - Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

Known as Les Saintes, delightful Îles des Saintes presents a miniature archipelago of eight tropical islands with a distinctive fusion of French and Caribbean culture. Discover quaint villages revealing a collection of petite stone buildings and small, white-sand beaches. Don’t miss a visit to Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site, which also provides incredible views of one of the islands.

Day 4 - St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda

The capital and largest city of Antigua and Barbuda, a twin-island nation located in the Eastern Caribbean, St. John’s welcomes with a vibrant and fascinating blend of rich history, beautiful beaches and a lively culture. St John’s is also the gateway to other key attractions on the island, such as the historic Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights.

Day 5 - Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Welcome to Nevis and Saint Kitts, a dual-island nation in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of West Indies in the Caribbean Sea; Nevis is the smaller island of the two, dominated by a volcanic peak.  Fringed with unspoilt curves of powdery white sand, this beautiful island is dotted with Georgian-era buildings, remnants of former sugar plantations and casual, beach-shack eateries.

Day 6 - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

Today, you’ll arrive in Gustavia, the capital of the chic Caribbean Island of Saint Barthélemy (also known as St. Barths). This charming city was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his own island getaway in 1785. Stroll along the streets and uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping region and photograph the city’s iconic brightly painted, wooden houses. Be sure to also feast on the unique local cuisine, a delicious blend of French and Creole influences.

Day 7 - Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

The island of Virgin Gorda, so named because it resembles a reclining woman, is part of the gorgeous British Virgin Islands and popular for its laid-back pace and picturesque landscapes. Among the incredible natural wonders of Virgin Gorda, The Baths are arguably the most famous; a breathtaking series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders, formed by volcanic eruptions.

Day 8 - Philipsburg, Sint Maarten

Your Emerald Cruises luxury voyage draws to a close in Philipsburg, the capital of Sint Maarten, located on the Dutch side of Saint Martin. After bidding farewell to your crew and fellow guests, from the yacht, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your journey home, or to continue your holiday.

Please book your flight to depart out of Sint Maarten after 01:00 PM.
