Day 2 - St. John – St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Welcome to Cruz Bay, the economic and social hub of St. John, the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, which are situated amid the Caribbean Sea. Here, a busy inter-island ferry dock connects with the other beautiful islands in the region. The bustling bay is lined with restaurants and shops, while striking Caribbean architecture in Mongoose Junction can be admired on a leisurely stroll through town. 

In the evening, you’ll set sail to St. Thomas.

Day 3 - St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Day 4 - Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy

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

Without doubt, this is the perfect destination for those seeking a tranquil and alluring tropical getaway.
