Day 1: Bridgetown, Barbados | Embark

Your exciting Caribbean journey begins in Barbados, an island nation celebrated for its vibrant culture, rich colonial heritage, and picture-perfect beaches. Upon arriving in Bridgetown, enjoy a seamless transfer to board an Emerald Cruises luxury yacht, marking the official start of a truly memorable voyage into tropical paradise. To ensure a smooth and relaxing embarkation experience, please arrange for an inbound flight arriving in Bridgetown prior to 4:00 PM.

Day 2: Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Today, sail into Soufrière, the original capital of Saint Lucia, dramatically nestled within the Qualibou Depression, the spectacular crater of a dormant volcano. While exploring this breathtaking area, treat yourself to therapeutic mud baths and natural sulfur springs. Be sure to admire the iconic pair of majestic lava domes, Gros Piton and Petit Piton, proudly recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enhance your visit by sampling the delicious local cuisine, savoring authentic dishes ranging from green figs and salt fish to traditional callaloo soup prepared with fresh crab or shrimp.

Day 3: Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

Known as Les Saintes, delightful Îles des Saintes presents a miniature archipelago of eight tropical islands with a distinctive fusion of French and Caribbean culture. Discover quaint villages revealing a collection of petite stone buildings and small, white-sand beaches. Don’t miss a visit to Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site, which also provides incredible views of one of the islands.

Day 4: St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda

The capital and largest city of Antigua and Barbuda, a twin-island nation located in the Eastern Caribbean, St. John’s welcomes with a vibrant and fascinating blend of rich history, beautiful beaches and a lively culture. St John’s is also the gateway to other key attractions on the island, such as the historic Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights.

Day 5: Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Welcome to Nevis and Saint Kitts, a dual-island nation in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of West Indies in the Caribbean Sea; Nevis is the smaller island of the two, dominated by a volcanic peak.  Fringed with unspoilt curves of powdery white sand, this beautiful island is dotted with Georgian-era buildings, remnants of former sugar plantations and casual, beach-shack eateries.

Day 6: Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy

Today, arrive in Gustavia, the capital of the chic Caribbean Island of Saint Barthélemy (also known as St. Barths). This charming city was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his own island getaway in 1785. Stroll along the streets and uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping region and photograph the city’s iconic brightly painted, wooden houses. Be sure to also feast on the unique local cuisine, a delicious blend of French and Creole influences.

Day 7: Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

The island of Virgin Gorda, so named because it resembles a reclining woman, is part of the gorgeous British Virgin Islands and popular for its laid-back pace and picturesque landscapes. Among the incredible natural wonders of Virgin Gorda, The Baths are arguably the most famous; a breathtaking series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders, formed by volcanic eruptions.

Day 8: Philipsburg, Sint Maarten | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Your Emerald Cruises luxury voyage draws to a close in Philipsburg, the capital of Sint Maarten, located on the Dutch side of Saint Martin. After bidding farewell to your crew and fellow guests, from the yacht, be transferred to the airport for your journey home, or to continue your holiday.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
