Windstar Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Philipsburg, St. Maarten

   Depart 19:00

   Sint Maarten

   

   Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, packs extraordinary energy onto a narrow sand spit between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond — two parallel streets of duty-free boutiques, creole restaurants, and rum bars backed by a beach where cruise ships anchor so close that their hulls seem to dominate the shoreline. The island's most celebrated spectacle is entirely involuntary: Princess Juliana International Airport, where landing aircraft pass at rooftop height over Maho Beach, drawing crowds of thrill-seekers every day. The 1648 Mount Concordia Treaty, dividing this sliver of land between France and the Netherlands, created the world's smallest territory shared by two nations. The dry season from December to April is optimal.

2. Day 2

   Gustavia

   Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

   Saint Barthélemy

   

   Gustavia, the capital of Saint Barthélemy, is a charming port known for its luxurious yachts, vibrant boutiques, and rich historical tapestry. Must-do experiences include exploring Fort Karl for stunning views and indulging in local dishes like accras de morue while enjoying the sun at Colombier Beach. The best season to visit is from December to April, when the weather is pleasantly warm and the island is bustling with activity.

3. Day 3

   Falmouth, Antigua

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Antigua and Barbuda

   

   Falmouth Harbour, Antigua, is home to Nelson's Dockyard—the world's only continuously operating Georgian naval dockyard, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site where colonial-era sail lofts and officers' quarters have been beautifully restored. Must-dos include exploring the dockyard, hiking to Shirley Heights for sunset views, and sampling Antigua's black pineapple. December through April is the dry season, with Sailing Week in April the calendar highlight.

4. Day 4

   Road Bay

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Anguilla

   

   Road Bay is the anchorage for Anguilla, whose sixteen miles harbor some of the world's finest beaches — including Shoal Bay East's two-mile masterpiece — and a dining scene that defies the island's modest population of fifteen thousand. Visit December through April via Ponant or Windstar for the Caribbean's most convincing synthesis of perfect sand, exceptional cuisine, and the genuine exclusivity that comes from having no deep-water cruise port.

5. Day 5

   British Virgin Islands, Great Britain

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   British Virgin Islands

   

   The British Virgin Islands are one of the world's premier sailing archipelagos, comprising over sixty islands offering pristine beaches, legendary beach bars like the Soggy Dollar, and the fantastical granite grottoes of The Baths on Virgin Gorda. Visitors should dive the historic RMS Rhone wreck, feast on Anegada's famous grilled lobster, and explore Norman Island's snorkeling caves. The dry season from December to May offers ideal sailing conditions and the most comfortable weather.

6. Day 5

   Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands

   Arrive 19:00

   British Virgin Islands

   

   Jost Van Dyke is a tiny, uncommercialised island in the British Virgin Islands named after a Dutch privateer, celebrated for its pristine white-sand beaches, legendary beach bars, and barefoot Caribbean culture. Visitors should not miss savouring a Painkiller cocktail at the Soggy Dollar Bar on White Bay and exploring the granite grottos of The Baths on nearby Virgin Gorda. The dry season from December through April offers the most radiant sailing conditions and calm turquoise waters, making it the ideal window for a luxury small-ship call at this intimate Caribbean gem.
