Day 1: Marigot, Saint Martin | Embark

Your Caribbean cruise begins in Marigot, the charming capital of Saint Martin. Board your yacht and prepare to embark on a journey through paradise. Be sure to schedule your flight to arrive in Marigot by 7:00 PM.

Day 2: Prickly Pear Cays, Anguilla

This morning, sail to Anguilla, the northernmost of the British Leeward Islands, renowned for its excellent diving, snorkeling, and glass-bottom boat excursions. With its flat coral and limestone terrain, the island offers picturesque scenery—palm-lined beaches, historic plantation homes, and vivid turquoise waters that sharply contrast against its pristine white sands.

Settle in for a delicious BBQ lunch on board, surrounded by the laid-back atmosphere and breathtaking views of the crystal-clear ocean. As you indulge in your meal, the sound of Caribbean rhythms and soulful melodies floats through the air and have you swaying to the beat, feeling carefree and relaxed. 

Day 3: Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy

Affectionately known as Saint-Barth, this enchanting French island in the Lesser Antilles was named in honor of King Gustav III of Sweden after France ceded the island to Sweden in 1784. Since then, its picturesque mountainous landscapes and pristine natural beauty have captivated visitors. You can bask in the splendor of its stunning beaches, while also admiring the charm of its historic wooden houses and luxurious colonial estates. As you stroll through the streets of Gustavia, you can find an array of jewellery shops, high-end fashion boutiques, and gourmet restaurants, all while experiencing a sense of simplicity that wealth cannot replicate. 

Day 4: Charlestown | Cades Bay, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Nevis and Saint Kitts are a dual-island nation in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of West Indies in the Caribbean Sea — Nevis is the smaller island of the two. Edged with unspoilt curves of sand, the island is dotted with Georgian-style buildings, remnants of sugar plantations and casual, beach-shack eateries.  

Day 5: Falmouth Bay, English Harbor, Antigua and Barbuda

Falmouth Bay, situated on the island of Antigua, is a serene harbor surrounded by historic structures and plantation mansions from a past era. A visit to Nelson’s Dockyard is a must—this UNESCO World Heritage site, dating back to the 18th century, features captivating naval history along with charming boutiques, bars, and restaurants.

Day 6: Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

Iles des Saintes, known as Les Saintes, is a miniature archipelago of eight tropical islands with a distinctive French and Caribbean culture fusion. Discover the quaint towns, with their collection of petite stone buildings and small white-sand beaches. Don’t miss Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site with incredible views of one of the islands.

Day 7: Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Tucked away in a stunning bay, Soufrière, the former capital of St. Lucia, offers an array of attractions. Renowned for The Pitons, majestic volcanic spires that loom over the town's entrance, Soufrière is a sight to behold. Nearby, the lush botanical gardens invite you to experience the healing benefits of the Diamond Falls mineral baths. At the northern edge of the bay, a beach provides the perfect launching point for exploring vibrant reefs adorned with beautiful sea fan gardens at the base of the dramatic cliffs that dive into the ocean. Today, choose between the Included Excursion or the EmeraldACTIVE option.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
