Island hop through the Caribbean by luxury yacht
Your exciting Emerald Cruises Caribbean voyage begins in Saint. Thomas, in the gorgeous US Virgin Islands. Here, you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht for the start of an adventure in paradise.
Please book your flight to arrive into St Thomas prior to 07:00 PM.
This stunning island offers a charming blend of natural wonders and rich history. This is a true Caribbean gem that captivates visitors with its pristine beauty and tranquil atmosphere. With its unspoilt landscapes, lush tropical forests, picturesque hills, breathtaking coastlines harbouring magnificent beaches, and enchanting atmosphere, Saint John Island is a paradise destination that leaves a lasting impression.
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.
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.
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.
With its blend of Dutch and Caribbean influences, Philipsburg presents a bustling port town with a vibrant atmosphere, striking colonial architecture, and stunning beaches. It also offers a range of activities and attractions, including historic sites and a lively street market where you can sample the local cuisine, and peruse the island arts and crafts. In the late afternoon, you’ll sail on to Gustavia.
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.
Today, your Emerald Cruises luxury voyage draws to a close, returning to St. Thomas. From the yacht, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your journey home or to continue your holiday.
