Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Vieux Fort
Depart 18:00
Vieux Fort is Saint Lucia's authentic southern town, home to the panoramic viewpoint at Cap Moule à Chique, the windswept Anse de Sables beach popular with kite surfers, and the Maria Islands with their endemic reptile species. Must-do experiences include the cap viewpoint, sampling Creole street food, and beach walks along the Atlantic-Caribbean divide. December through June offers the driest weather and best winds for water sports.
Day 2
Day 2
Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth is the beguiling waterfront capital of Bequia, a former whaling island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines where Caribbean authenticity endures in gingerbread cottages, hand-built schooners, and charcoal-grilled lobster on the sand. Stroll the Belmont Walkway for the island's finest harbour views, then sail to the Tobago Cays for world-class snorkelling among sea turtles. The dry season from December through May offers the most reliable sunshine and the peak of luxury cruise calls into sheltered Admiralty Bay.
Day 3
Day 3
Mayreau
Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines, a car-free Caribbean gem with fewer than three hundred residents, the exquisite Salt Whistle Bay beach, and views across the pristine Tobago Cays Marine Park. Must-do experiences include snorkelling with sea turtles in the Tobago Cays, feasting on fresh grilled lobster, and watching sunset from the hilltop church. January through May's dry season offers the most reliable weather.
Day 4
Day 4
Tobago Cays
The Tobago Cays are five uninhabited islands in the southern Grenadines, surrounded by a horseshoe reef and some of the clearest water in the Caribbean, where green sea turtles graze in the shallows and pristine coral reefs teem with tropical fish. Must-dos include snorkeling with the sea turtles, enjoying a beachside lobster barbecue from local boat vendors, and swimming at the Pirates of the Caribbean filming location on Petit Tabac. December through May offers the best visibility and steadiest trade winds.
Day 5
Day 5
Pigeon Island
Pigeon Island is a 44-acre national landmark off Saint Lucia's northwest coast, where centuries of Franco-British colonial battles left dramatic fort ruins atop volcanic hills with panoramic Caribbean views. Must-dos include climbing Fort Rodney for vistas stretching to Martinique, swimming the calm Caribbean-side beach, and tasting green fig and saltfish at Creole restaurants in Rodney Bay. Visit January through April for the driest weather and clearest skies.
Day 6
Day 6
Iles Des Saintes
Îles des Saintes is a volcanic archipelago off Guadeloupe renowned for its pastel Creole village of Terre-de-Haut, the historic Fort Napoléon, and one of the Caribbean's most beautiful bays. Visitors should savour the iconic tourment d'amour coconut tart and explore the fortifications that witnessed the pivotal 1782 Battle of the Saintes. The dry season from December through May offers the most luminous skies and calmest seas, aligning perfectly with the Caribbean cruise calendar.
Day 7
Day 7
Les Saintes (Guadeloupe)
During the feast of All Saints in 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered this archipelago of nine islands that he named "The Saints". Today, only two of them are inhabited. Terre de Haut, in the east, is dominated by the Morne Mire hill; at the summit stands Fort Napoleon, paying homage to the islands' history. In the heart of the botanical garden, shared by iguanas and cacti, there is an exceptional view of the Baie des Saintes, one of the most beautiful in the world. The long shady beach of Pompierre, where it is forbidden to drop anchor, is a peaceful place for a swim, while Pain de Sucre Beach offers wonderful opportunities for snorkelling. On the island, don’t forget to taste the local speciality, the “tourment d’amour”, a cake made with coconut.
