Itinerary
Itinerary
Day 1, Bridgetown, BarbadosDeparture 19:00
Gently breeze into the vibrant capital of Barbados. Steeped in fascinating history, with architecture to match, uncover the wonderfully laid-back West Indian ambiance. Embrace the slow Bajan rhythm of this welcoming island; surf, snorkel and try spotting turtles in balmy azure waters. Explore subterranean Harrison’s Cave, Jacobean St Nicholas Abbey and zipline high above bountiful tropical flora. Then return to restore on pastel pink sands at palm-studded beaches, where you’ll discover cocktail hour is endless, and measures of rum are copious.
Day 2, Terre-de-Haut (Îles des Saintes), GuadeloupeArrival 09:00Departure 18:00
In dainty Terre-de-Haute, diminutive
sibling of Guadeloupe and queen of the Îles des Saintes, French charm and Caribbean
culture are woven together in laid-back towns and sleepy fishing villages. High
above, Fort Napoleon and Le Chameau peak are flanked by fragrant forests of fern
and frangipani, overlooking picture-perfect landscapes bathed in golden
sunlight and sailboats afloat on gin-clear bays.
Day 3, Philipsburg , Sint MarteenArrival 09:00Departure 19:00
Princely Philipsburg reigns as the
capital of the Dutch side of the dual-nation island of Sint Maarten/ and French
Saint Martin. Lounging beside aptly named Great Bay, the seaside city weaves
colourful streets lined with Dutch emporiums brimming with chocolates, cheeses
and coveted luxuries. Kayak lapis-blue waters, dive amongst a kaleidoscope of
reefs or gallop on horseback along shaded plantation trails. Play ‘lady luck’ in
winning casinos or a round of golf beside an eternally blue sea. Every moment
embraces the idea that a day in Philipsburg is royal.
Day 4, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin IslandsArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
Named for a Dutch pirate who once encamped here, Jost Van Dyke is a petite jewel with a bounty of lush landscapes and beautiful beaches. Hike (or water taxi) to Bubbly Pool, a natural jacuzzi created as waves at high tide crash through a crevasse. Kick back on the powder-fine sands of White Bay, swimming the turquoise shallows, finding zen at the floating spa or succumbing to the infamous Painkiller, the dark rum and coconut cocktail created in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar, polestar of the cheerful island vibe.
Day 5, San Juan, Puerto RicoArrival 08:00
Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic Old San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colourful colonial buildings. Learn how to move, as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamorous boutiques for artisan goods, decadent designers and hand-rolled cigars. Experience world-class surfing, explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum cocktail tasting and polish off empanadas. Then retire to one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.
