Duration: 4 hours

Day 2: Anegada, BVI

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Anegada is the northernmost of the British Virgin Islands. It can be tricky to navigate to due to the shallow depths and various reefs upon arrival. While the other islands in the Virgin Islands group are mountainous, Anegada is flat. The highest point is only about 28 feet (8.5 m) above sea level, earning it the name which translates from Spanish as “the drowned land.” Anegada is the second largest of the British Virgin Islands, but it is also the most sparsely populated of the main islands (population roughly 200). The 18-mile-long Horseshoe Reef happens to be the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean and believed to be the 4th largest on Earth.

Optional Activities: 

Anegada – Independent Exploration by 4x4 : One favorite option is to rent one of the small jeep-like vehicles and discover several of the magnificent beaches on a self-guided exploration of the island. Allow yourself plenty of time to get around this 10-mile-long island, allowing time for the beaches, snorkeling, and lunch (not included). Remember the island is mostly sand and even the roads are almost exclusively of sand – do not drive off the road as you might get stuck and find no one to help. Start a circular route around the island and you can start in a westerly direction driving to the beautiful beaches at West End Point. From there drive towards the north coast and stop at the famous Cow Wreck Bay. Spend time swimming, enjoying some refreshments, or trying one of the famous conch fritters served at the Cow Wreck Beach Bar & Grill (not included). After time on the beach continue along the north coast until you reach Loblolly Bay. This is another amazing beach and it also offers excellent snorkeling as well as some shade under the sea-grape trees. From there continue west along the southern road back to the pier at Setting Point. You can also start this drive counterclockwise and begin with a drive towards The Settlement and then Loblolly Bay followed by Cow Wreck Bay. No matter which direction you prefer, bring a sense of adventure, plenty of protection from the sun, a couple of towels, your snorkel gear, extra water, and enjoy a day of swimming and snorkeling on one of the Caribbean’s most unique islands.
Duration: 6 hours

Anegada – Bone Fishing : A surprisingly elusive, slender, and silvery fighting fish, bonefish feed on the bottom and can weigh up to ten pounds. Anegada is well known in the BVI’s for its fishing; in fact the island offers some of the finest of shallow water fishing in the world. Its extensive "flats" make it an ideal spot for bone fishing.
Duration: 4 hours

Day 3: Sandy Ground, Anguilla

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
This British Overseas Territory is becoming more popular due to the incredible resort options as well as world-recognized beaches and incredible golf.

The main shopping district is located on Front Street and is in the heart of the city. 

Optional Activities: 

Philipsburg, St Maarten – America’s Cup 12 Meter Regatta

Compete in an actual race around an "America's Cup" course. Grind a winch, trim a sail, and sail "your" America's Cup boat to victory. The able and experienced Regatta staff give instructions on how to perform a task and what commands to expect. Previous sailing experience is unnecessary. The Regatta is out of St. Maarten's Philipsburg Harbor, and round-trip transportation is included for all "crew members." Join the victory celebration with a rum punch on the dock before returning to the ship quay. If you love to sail or have never tried, do not miss this adventure!
Duration: 3 hours

Philipsburg, St Maarten – The Zip-Line Lovers Zip Line - Extreme: Do you LOVE zipping through treetops? Have you "done" zip-lines before? Did you always feel that the zip-lines were too short or too few? Did the rides always leave you wanting more? Then this is YOUR kind of trip! This one is amazing! After being outfitted at the station at the bottom of the lush valley, an open-air truck takes you on a short drive up, almost to the top of the mountain. Soon you find yourself high above the regular fly-zone down below and enjoying spectacular views of Marigot and the verdant valley. Welcome to the "jungle." A short "practice" zip starts you off. From then on you begin to make your way down into the valley along longer zip-lines, with some of them 50 to 60 feet (15-18 meters) above the ground. There are a couple of tightrope walks to break up the zipping but for the most part, this is all about the exhilarating fun of zipping from tree to tree.
Duration: 3.5 hours

Philipsburg, St Maarten – Orient Bay Beach Transfer: Leave the ship’s pier at Philipsburg and enjoy a scenic drive to one of the island's most beautiful and well- known beaches - Orient Bay Beach. The transfer concludes at the conveniently located central section of Orient Bay Beach known as Waikiki Beach (named after the restaurant here and also offering great food). Here find several bars, cafes, and watersport rental stands (parasailing, hobbies, jet skis) here. For your orientation, the southern portion is St Martin's (in)famous nude beach, while the northern end is popular with windsurfers. You have approximately three hours to do as you please: walk the beach, enjoy a snack, and some people watching at one of the cafes, or partake in one of the watersport activities available. Then re-board the transfer vehicle where you first arrived at "Waikiki" for your return to the ship. This is a great way to "soak up some of the local color" and still have the afternoon for shopping in Philipsburg.
Duration: TBA

Philipsburg, St Maarten – Deep Sea Fishing: Let your skilled skipper help you find the right fishing spot. Depending on the time of year, the waters around St. Martin abound in blue marlin, tuna, swordfish, mahi-mahi, white marlin, sailfish, wahoo, barracuda, and more. The fishing boat charter waits for you right at the pier where you are tendered ashore in Marigot.

Gustavia - St. Barts Semi-Submersible - "Under The Sea": No matter what your plans are for St. Barts, do not miss a trip below water level! The trip into the Marine Park is short but exciting and also combines well with all the other activities on the island! After boarding, step down into the tunnel-like hull for a seat in front of the underwater windows. If you wish, you may stay outside on the upper deck.

You may decide to stay outside on the upper deck from where you can enjoy views of the many beautiful yachts and breathtaking shores of Saint Barts. Join in on this fun and colorful adventure for all ages.

Day 6: Soper's Hole, Tortola | Norman Island

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
This marina on Tortola's West End retains its quaint charm while being a center of activity and voted the best marina in the BVIs. Soper's Hole imparts a great sense of place and physical intimacy and is considered one of the most picturesque marinas in the Caribbean. 

Norman Island is located at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands. It could very well be the very same island reputed to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's pirate novel Treasure Island. It is said that the island was named after a pirate who purchased it at some point during the early 18th century. The island is uninhabited and privately owned by Dr Henry Jarecki. Its area is about 600 acres (2.4 km²), and it is about 2.5 miles (4 km) long. A large harbor known as "The Bight" offers one of the most protected anchorages in the area.

Enjoy wonderful vistas of Tortola and the surrounding islands from viewpoints not accessed by the general public. Departing the tender dock at Soper's Hole Marina, the land rover convoy quickly drives along the shoreline before ascending up to the Ridge Road. The route takes participants on a fun adventure, revealing the natural beauty of the island and the unspoiled scenery, flora, and fauna. Stops are made for taking pictures before traveling through the wooded Belmont Estate where a stop is made at a secluded beach for a refreshing local drink. Rinse the "dust of the trail" off with a swim in the sea, or relax on the white-sand beach before continuing back to the yacht.
Duration: 3.5 hours

Soper's Hole, Tortola – Virgin Canopy Adventure: High in the hills overlooking road town lays a “shangri-la” of lush vegetation, tropical birds, and flowers and the newest attraction on the island of Tortola – the original virgin canopy experience. Similar to a zip-line, but much safer and quieter, the original canopy tour provides you with all the thrills and adrenaline you are looking for but is also an ecotour and fun for all members of the family. Even experienced zip-line riders find this tour something that can't be missed. After this adventure, take in the million dollar view, purchase refreshments or snacks,or just relax.
Duration: 3 hours

Soper's Hole, Tortola – Radical Rides: For those of you looking for something completely different, come join us on the BVI’s latest fun activity.
