ANTIGUA TO BARBUDA

DAY 2

For barefoot relaxation, the low-lying coral island of Barbuda is best known for its miles of pink coral beaches. Explore the island’s heavily wooded interior abounding with wildlife.

BARBUDA TO NEVIS

DAY 3

Cruise to the exclusive island of Nevis, one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean. Nevis is a little-known wonder with dramatic landscapes featuring a dormant volcano. Distinctly old world in its charm, the island is dotted with plantation houses, sugar-cane hillsides and palm-shaded ribbons of sandy coastline. Dine by candlelight at the converted sugar mill, aptly named The Mill.

NEVIS TO ST KITTS

DAY 4

Cruise across The Narrows to St Kitts.
This is perhaps the sleepiest island in the Leewards and is a Dutch island of 1,600 inhabitants, offering unparalleled peace and tranquillity.
Local shopping and tours are easily accomplished on this small, but charming island and the development at Christophe Harbour offers a luxurious and indulgent setting for lunch.
For diving enthusiasts, the Sandy Point Reef National Marine Park offers challenging and exciting diving through its 30m-long canyons.

ST KITTS TO SABA

DAY 5

Spend a morning sinking your feet into the white sands of St Eustatius before cruising on to the perfect hideaway island of Saba.
Saba looks like a fairy tale picture of a forbidden land. A mere two miles in diameter, it reaches 3,000 feet at its highest point. Tall cliffs of red, pink and brown rise vertically from the sea and houses sit perched in seemingly impossible positions on the edge of great precipices.

SABA TO ST BARTHS

DAY 6

For French Riviera-style living, St Barths has no equal -– think Gallic style with a Caribbean twist. St Barths is known for having some of the best chefs in the Caribbean and the island has a number of restaurants serving up gastronomic feasts.
The south end of St Barths offers a beautiful white and sandy beach at Anse de Gouverneur with fantastic scenery, surrounded by hillsides and with views to islands in the distance. The waters at Gouverneur are excellent for swimming and snorkelling.
The main harbour of Gustavia is lined with both local and international designer boutiques. Stop for a cocktail at La Select, home of Jimmy Buffet’s Cheeseburger in Paradise.

ST BARTHS TO ANGUILLA

DAY 7

Anchor off Anguilla’s Maundays Bay. A long curve of flawless white sand, the waters are calm and perfect for snorkelling. If you’d rather stay dry, head ashore for a round of golf or a horse ride along the beach.
Savour sophisticated cuisine with a Caribbean flair at Blanchard’s in Meads Bay.

ANGUILLA TO ST MARTIN

DAY 8

For a hit of Dutch and French culture, the dual nationality of St Martin (St Maarten) is where you will disembark.
The area offers some excellent beach-front bars and restaurants and although popular with tourists the Sunset Bar and Grill, positioned on the beach at the end of the runway, offers some thrilling sites as the planes come in to land, just inches overhead.
The island has exuberant night-spots, duty-free shops and casinos promising an upbeat, cosmopolitan experience, as you gently acclimatise back to 21st century life.
