11 Night St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Thomas

Destination notes

Charlotte Amalie — St Thomas delivers classic USVI scenery — Charlotte Amalie's Danish-coloured streets circling a deep blue harbour, and Magens Bay, regularly listed among the world's best beaches.

St. Johns — Antigua famously claims a beach for every day of the year. Beyond St John's colourful quay lies Nelson's Dockyard, the world's only working Georgian naval dockyard, wrapped in green hills and sailing history.

Bridgetown — Barbados pairs a bright, British-flavoured capital with some of the Caribbean's calmest swimming water. Carlisle Bay's wrecks and turtles sit minutes from Bridgetown's colonial careenage, and the island's east coast offers a wilder, windswept contrast.

Castries — St Lucia is defined by the Pitons, the twin volcanic peaks that rise sheer from the sea. Between them you'll find drive-in volcanoes, waterfalls, banana plantations and Marigot Bay, one of the prettiest natural harbours in the Caribbean.

Basseterre — St Kitts mixes colonial charm with volcanic drama — the old Circus square and scenic railway in Basseterre, Brimstone Hill fortress on the hills, and black-sand Atlantic beaches on the wilder side of the island.

Philipsburg — St Maarten blends Dutch and French island life around a glittering great bay. Philipsburg's boardwalk beach is steps from the ship, while the French side offers cafés, cricket and Orient Bay's long sweep of sand.
