£1,746pp
Itinerary
The British Virgin Islands is known as the yachting capital of the Caribbean and this five-day escape shows you why. Come with us to charming islands with a laid-back attitude, places where you can still find incredible natural beauty, and colonial towns that effortlessly blend Dutch, French, and Caribbean cultures. Explore 17th century forts and duty-free shopping on St. Maarten and St. Bart. Go snorkeling or take a Jeep off-roading on mountainous Tortola. Visit the Baths on Virgin Gorda – a series of granite boulders sculpted by the sea into incredible natural pools and grottoes. And spend the night on Jost Van Dyke, enjoying the island long after the day-trippers leave – your own private paradise with postcard-pretty crescent beaches, quirky beach bars, and the famous effervescent sea water of the Bubbly Pool.
Day to Day Itinerary
| Date | Country | Port | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Sint Maarten (Dutch part) | Philipsburg | |

Pastel-colored buildings and shops filled with tempting souvenirs herald your arrival to bustling Philipsburg. Situated near the harbor on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, Philipsburg owes its discovery to Christopher Columbus in 1493.

| Day 2 | British Virgin Islands | Sopers Hole, Tortola | |
|
Arrive at the boardwalk of Pusser's Landing and mingle with other yachtsmen in the utterly charming marina at Soper's Hole. Find a deserted stretch of beach to kick back and ponder this tiny port's rich heritage of romance, pirates, and adventure. An evening departure features a once-in-a-lifetime romantic sunset Sail Away. |

| Day 2 | British Virgin Islands | Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke | |
|
For an island comprised of a mere eight square miles, it's amazing how much there is to do on Jost Van Dyke. Visit the national park on nearby Diamond Cay, snorkel among swaying sponges and angelfish at Sandy Spit, or pilot your own boat around Sir Francis Drake Waterway. After all that, you'll be ready for an evening drink on the beach — where you can admire your Windstar ship aglow in the harbor. |
