Day 1 Grenada
Visitors to the lush island of Grenada will love the tropical climate, white sandy beaches, and thriving green vegetation. Aromatic spice plantations give Grenada the nickname “Isle of Spice.” There are spectacular mountain ranges, waterfalls, and rainforests.
Beach lovers will be in paradise, relaxing the day away on the soft white sands of Grand Anse. Shoppers will love the colorful sights and smells of the spice market, where you can banter with the friendly “spice ladies” for spices, souvenirs, clothing, and jewelry. In town you'll find art galleries, fabric shops, and waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy a cold rum punch and fresh seafood. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the views of the narrow, picturesque streets of St George’s and the beautiful vista of the Carenage, one of the loveliest harbors in the Caribbean. Plenty of night life can be found at the many clubs and restaurants around the island.
Set sail for the rhythms of spice!
Day 2 Carriacou
Carriacou is part of the island nation of Grenada. As you step off the dock, you'll take a step back in time to the real Caribbean. The islanders of Carriacou are renowned for their seafaring skills and boat building. Their ancestry can be traced back to Africa and Scotland.
Take a walk down the tiny main street to shop, or perhaps sample some of the local spiced rum. Explore the cemetery and find centuries old stone markers. Join your shipmates for a feast of fresh-caught lobster, available from September through April, at one of the local restaurants.
The many beautiful, sandy beaches are surrounded by coral reefs teeming with a variety of marine life, creating the perfect underwater experience for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts.
Day 3 Bequia
The magic of Bequia will capture your spirit. Bequia has a long seafaring heritage, rich in the historical traditions of boat-building and fishing. Visitors will be fascinated with a trip to the Turtle Sanctuary. Enjoy views of the scenic harbor as you explore the boutiques and markets along the waterfront. You'll find exquisite model boats, scrimshaw and unique island artwork in the tiny shops.
The island, encircled by gold sand beaches, offers a wide selection of aquatic activities. You can sail, kayak, scuba dive and snorkel, or laze on one of Bequia's fabulous beaches. The pristine Princess Margaret beach, just a short dinghy ride from the ship, will lure you with its sparkling sands.
At dinnertime, plan on a seafood pizza at Mac's, a must for every visit to Bequia! After dinner, head to one of the local hangouts for a night of music and dancing in the warm evening breezes.
Day 4 Tobago Cays / Mayreau
Tobago Cays is a group of uninhabited islets which are now a national park. Experience an absolutely unforgettable day of swimming and snorkeling in the warm, crystal-clear waters. Bring a few Eastern Caribbean dollars with you so you can shop for souvenirs at the “T-shirt trees”.
The tiny island of Mayreau has a population of just 300, with one small concrete road. You'll be welcomed with open arms by the locals. Quiet, gleaming beaches line both sides of the island. Walkers can challenge themselves with a steep hike up through the village and down to the opposite side of the island for a beach alternative. From the crest of the hill beside the Catholic Church, there is a beautiful overlook of the Tobago Cays, Canouan and Union Island.
Day 5 Union Island
Union Island, with it's volcanic silhouette, is sometimes called the “Tahiti of the West Indies”. It is the southernmost island in the Grenadines. Chatham Bay is one of Union Island's most popular beaches. Union Island has two major towns, Clifton and Ashton.
Have your crew arrange for a dinghy ride out to Happy Island, a man-made island built on shells in the outer harbor at Clifton. The island's bar is a popular and unique spot to enjoy a cold beverage.
Day 6 Sandy Island / Grenada
Port details pending.
Day 7 Disembark in Grenada
Disembark this morning for your continued journey home.

Diamant
- Ship Highlights
- Passengers : 12
Welcome aboard the Diamant, a 101’ brigantine schooner. Built in 1978, Diamant has been well maintained and refurbished in order to provide the highest level of comfort and safety. A professional crew works hard to ensure that everything is running shipshape.
Diamant hosts an intimate group of twelve passengers in six air conditioned staterooms. All cabins feature portholes, private facilities and 110V outlets. Choose a cabin with a double lower and a single upper berth, or one with both double and single lower berths.
Destinations include the Grenadines, a chain of islands in the Caribbean’s Windward Islands. The Grenadines is considered to be one of the most exclusive sailing areas in the world. These tall ship sailing cruises include an amazing selection of the most desired ports of call, including locations unreachable by the masses on larger ships.
Days aboard the Diamant begin with a casual breakfast which includes fresh fruit and a different hot entree each day. The daily plans begin with on deck discussion about the port of call and insightful tips on what to do and how to get around. Of course, guests don't need to leave the ship at all! Lounge on the deck all day, basking in the warm Caribbean sun or swim off the side of the ship. Dinner may be a casual buffet or a sit-down dinner in the saloon or on the aft deck – but it’s never formal, with no assigned seating and no need to dress up. Complimentary locally brewed beer, wine and soft drinks are available all day.
Guests are encouraged to join the crew by lending a hand to help hoist the sails — or by shouting encouragement while relaxing with a cool drink. The moving strains of the bagpipes will be playing “Amazing Grace” as the sails are raised. Have your photo snapped as you take your turn at the helm of a majestic tall ship. The friendly crew, hailing from all corners of the Caribbean, is eager to help you learn about the ship, the islands, and their people.
