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

   Charlestown, Nevis

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   Saint Kitts and Nevis

   

   Charlestown is the two-thousand-person capital of Nevis, birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, where eighteenth-century Georgian architecture and the Caribbean's first hotel line streets untouched by mass tourism. Visit December through April via Windstar or Ponant for Hamilton heritage, volcanic hot springs, Pinney's Beach perfection, and the rare Caribbean experience of being a guest rather than a tourist.

3. Day 3

   Guadeloupe

   Arrive 07:00Depart 13:00

   Guadeloupe

   

   Guadeloupe is a butterfly-shaped French Caribbean archipelago where volcanic rainforests, pristine beaches, and refined Creole-French cuisine create one of the region's most distinctive destinations. Must-dos include hiking La Soufrière volcano, tasting rhum agricole, and day-tripping to the Saintes islands. December through May offers the driest, most comfortable conditions for visiting.

4. Day 4

   Mayreau

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

   

   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.

5. Day 5

   Roseau

   Arrive 08:00Depart 16:00

   Dominica

   

   Roseau, the capital of Dominica, is a vibrant port city characterized by its colonial architecture and rich cultural heritage. Must-do experiences include savoring local delicacies like mountain chicken curry and visiting the bustling Roseau Market. The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April, when the island showcases its natural beauty and festive spirit.

6. Day 6

   Basseterre

   Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

   Saint Kitts and Nevis

   

   Basseterre, capital of Saint Kitts and Nevis — the smallest sovereign nation in the Americas — is the gateway to an island whose volcanic drama and layered colonial history distinguish it from every other Caribbean port. Mount Liamuiga's cloud-capped summit and its rainforest-filled crater lake await hikers, while the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress, one of the finest surviving examples of British colonial military architecture, commands sweeping views across neighboring islands. The surrounding plantation inns — sugar estates converted into intimate boutique hotels — offer the most atmospheric accommodation in the Eastern Caribbean. Visit November through April for the driest, sunniest weather.

7. Day 7

   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.

8. Day 8

   Philipsburg, St. Maarten

   Arrive 06:00

   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.
