The Island of Virgin Gorda, named after its resemblance to a reclining woman, is part of the British Virgin Islands and popular for its laid-back pace and picturesque landscapes. Among the natural wonders of Virgin Gorda, The Baths are arguably the most famous, a series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders formed by volcanic eruptions. In the afternoon, you’ll sail to Norman Island.

Day 4 - Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and excellent snorkelling, Norman Island offers a variety of activities, including hiking trails and caves to explore. The island is also steeped in pirate lore, with local legend implying that this was a favourite hiding spot for pirates who buried their treasure on the island; hence why it has been nicknamed ‘Treasure Island’ by locals and visitors alike. Without doubt, this is the perfect destination for those seeking a tranquil and alluring tropical getaway.

Day 5 - Sandy Ground, Anguilla - Philipsburg, Sint Maarten (Saint Martin)

This morning, you’ll cruise to Anguilla, the most northerly of the British Leeward Islands and popular for its wondrous diving, snorkelling and glass-bottomed boat rides.  A low-lying island of coral and limestone, Anguilla boasts beautiful island scenery of palm trees, plantation mansions and vibrant, viridian-hued waters contrasting with the dazzling white sand. In the late evening, you’ll sail on to Philipsburg.

Day 6 - Philipsburg, Sint Maarten (Saint Martin) - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

In the late afternoon, you’ll sail on to Gustavia.

Day 7 - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

The capital of the 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 city, uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping enclave, photograph the brightly painted wooden houses, and feast on unique cuisine that fuses French and Creole culinary influences.
