Itinerary

The Windward Islands will enchant you with their natural beauty – dense rainforests, lush green peaks, cascading waterfalls, stunning black sand beaches. And on this two-week voyage you’ll visit the best of them, from islands so small they have only one village, to villages so small they have only one road. See nature’s artistry in the lush green volcanic pitons of St. Lucia and the gorges, waterfalls, and bubbling mud ponds of Dominica’s Morne Trois Pitons National Park – both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit islands that nature has not finished yet like Montserrat, the “Pompeii of the Caribbean.” And experience cultures that are similar yet utterly unique – very British Barbados with its UNESCO Old Town; French-flavored St. Lucia, Montserrat and Martinique; West African-influenced Dominica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines; and the Creole medley found in Grenada and Guadeloupe. Whether you hike the rainforest watching for parrots and monkeys or stroll charming towns listening to patois and reggae, you’ll fall in love with this Caribbean paradise.

Day to Day Itinerary

Date	Country	Port
Day 1	Barbados	Bridgetown
Jolly old England comes to life in the city and its garrison, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further afield, you'll find historic sugar plantations and the fairyland magic of Harrison's Cave.
Day 3	Saint Kitts and Nevis	Basseterre, Saint Kitts
With Georgian architecture situated against an irresistible backdrop of emerald green hills, Basseterre is one of the loveliest of the Caribbean's small capitals. Beyond town, more than a quarter of St. Kitts has been set aside as Brimstone Hill Fortress national Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 5	Guadeloupe	Terre-de-Haut
This is the Caribbean as you've always imagined it, with yacht-filled harbors set against volcanic mountains and endless stretches of palm-fringed beach. The underwater world here attracted the likes of Jacques Cousteau, but even novice snorkelers will enjoy exploring these impossibly blue waters.
Day 6	Dominica	Roseau
Get ready for a full day with plenty to do. Snorkel alongside brilliant parrot fish in the bubbly waters of Champagne Beach. Take a break to enjoy more than 150 species of plants and brilliant red-necked Jaco parrots at the botanical gardens. If you're up for an optional hike, don't miss Boiling Lake and the Valley of Desolation at Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 7	Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Mayreau Island
With fewer than 300 inhabitants and miles of secluded beaches, it's easy to feel as if you're on your own private island. Saline Bay is a delightful anchorage that separates the Caribbean from the Atlantic - and a perfect place to play with some of the toys from the Watersports Platform.
Day 8	Martinique	Trois-Ilets
Martinique offers a delightful and distinctive blend of French and Caribbean influences, with a bounty of historical sites, museums and a wide array of excellent shopping. Be sure to take a tour of the beautiful Jardin de Balata Botanical Gardens with exotic plants from around the world and a treetop walkway affording mountain views.
Day 9	Barbados	Bridgetown
Jolly old England comes to life in the city and its garrison, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further afield, you'll find historic sugar plantations and the fairyland magic of Harrison's Cave.
Day 10	Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Tobago Cays
Sail, snorkel, or beachcomb in complete seclusion in this unspoiled tropical paradise accessible only by boat. Quiet coves like Horseshoe Reef are home to fantastic coral reefs, while nearby Baradel offers an excellent opportunity to observe the area's famous sea turtles. Crystalline waters and perfect weather make this an ideal spot to play in the sea
Day 11	Saint Lucia	Pigeon Island
The UNESCO site Pitons' with their two majestic volcanic peaks and 24 miles of vibrant coral reef welcome you to St. Lucia. Nearby Pigeon Island National Park features impressive ruins of English forts, archaeological relics of Arawak Indians, and splendid beaches.
Day 12	Saint Lucia	Pigeon Island
The UNESCO site Pitons' with their two majestic volcanic peaks and 24 miles of vibrant coral reef welcome you to St. Lucia. Nearby Pigeon Island National Park features impressive ruins of English forts, archaeological relics of Arawak Indians, and splendid beaches.
Day 12	Saint Lucia	Castries
The capital and largest city of St. Lucia is a bustling port where shoppers flock. Most of the city's historic buildings were destroyed in major fires between 1785 and 1948 but you'll see the beautiful, scenic backdrop of Morne Fortune (elev. 2,795 ft.) and the bustling harbor. Visit the Castries Market for handicrafts, fruits and vegetables, see the murals painted by a local artist and housed in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and check out one of the many restaurants or Derek Walcott Square.
Day 13	Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Mayreau Island
With fewer than 300 inhabitants and miles of secluded beaches, it's easy to feel as if you're on your own private island. Saline Bay is a delightful anchorage that separates the Caribbean from the Atlantic - and a perfect place to play with some of the toys from the Watersports Platform.
Day 14	Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Port Elizabeth, Bequia
The only ships in port are those small enough to anchor alongside the yachts and fishing boats in Admiralty Bay. Bequia's whaling heritage is on display in the museum in pretty Port Elizabeth, or watch the island's famed model boat builders at work on their miniature masterpieces.
Day 15	Barbados	Bridgetown
Jolly old England comes to life in the city and its garrison, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further afield, you'll find historic sugar plantations and the fairyland magic of Harrison's Cave.
