Saint Kitts and Nevis

Basseterre, Saint Kitts

Cruise to the southwestern coast and lush hills of St. Kitts for Basseterre, one of the oldest towns in the Eastern Caribbean and vibrant capital of dual-island nation, St. Kitts and Nevis, Basseterre’s storied colonial history is reflected in the striking architecture of several buildings, including Georgian structures that date back to the British colonial era. The bustling harbour area is particularly noteworthy, providing a picturesque backdrop for the port city and a fascinating place to explore.

Anguilla

Anguilla

Welcome to beautiful Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the northern Leeward Islands, justifiably popular for its diving, snorkelling and glass-bottomed boat rides amid crystalline waters brimming with multi-coloured marine life. This low-lying island of coral and limestone dazzles all who are fortunate enough to visit, with its distinctive scenery of swaying palm trees, old plantation houses and vivid, viridian waters contrasting with powdery white-sand beaches. 

British Virgin Islands

Virgin Gorda

Enjoy your two days exploring the island of Virgin Gorda, so named, as its shape resembles a reclining woman. Part of the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda is 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 formed by erosion of granite boulders.

Saint Barthélemy

Gustavia

This charming city was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his own island getaway in 1785.
