The Route
Philipsburg
14 nights
Philipsburg
How the route could go:
-
MON · 21 Dec 2026Philipsburg (Sint Maarten) · Embarkation
Philipsburg is the capital of Dutch Sint Maarten - the smallest land mass shared by two nations. Front Street with its duty-free shops and the aeroplane beach bar near Princess Juliana Airport are Caribbean attractions of a very special kind. On the French side of the island, Saint-Martin, life is celebrated with French savoir-vivre: excellent French cuisine meets Caribbean joie de vivre.

TUE · 22 Dec 2026North Sound
-
WED · 23 Dec 2026Jost van Dyke
Jost van Dyke (British Virgin Islands) is barely 8 square kilometres in size, yet famous far beyond the Caribbean. The legendary "Soggy Dollar Bar" at White Bay Beach - where you swim ashore from your anchorage and pay with wet notes - is regarded as the most laid-back beach in the world.
-
THU · 24 Dec 2026Norman Island (BVI)
Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands is said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island". The uninhabited island offers cave diving in the sea caves and one of the Caribbean's most popular floating bars.

FRI · 25 Dec 2026At sea
-
SAT · 26 Dec 2026Cabrits (Dominica)
Cabrits is a twin-peaked volcanic peninsula on the north-western coast of Dominica and the heart of Cabrits National Park. On the higher hill stands Fort Shirley, a restored 18th-century British garrison overlooking Prince Rupert Bay. Dominica is the only Caribbean island where the indigenous people survived: the Kalinago still live in the Kalinago Territory on the east coast. The national bird, the Sisserou parrot (Imperial Amazon), is found nowhere else on earth and features on the national flag. On this green island people keep a particularly deep connection with nature.
-
SUN · 27 Dec 2026Saint-Pierre (Martinique)
Saint-Pierre on Martinique was once the "Paris of the Caribbean" - until 1902, when Mount Pelée erupted and buried the town of 30,000 inhabitants under ash within minutes. The underwater museum with sunken ships from the catastrophe makes Saint-Pierre one of the most fascinating dive sites in the Caribbean today. By the harbour, the building of the old exchange still stands, and the ruins of the theatre recall the town's glamorous past. French flair drifts through the lanes, with the scent of a bakery beneath red awnings.

MON · 28 Dec 2026At sea
-
TUE · 29 Dec 2026Soufrière (St. Lucia)
On the west coast of the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, Soufrière sits at the foot of the striking Pitons volcanic peaks. Sulphur springs, rainforest and a botanical garden make the town a nature destination.
-
WED · 30 Dec 2026At sea
-
THU · 31 Dec 2026Terre-de-Haut (Îles des Saintes)
Terre-de-Haut is the main island of the Îles des Saintes - a Provençal fishing village transposed to the Caribbean, with boulangeries, small harbours and Fort Napoléon high above the sea.
-
FRI · 01 Jan 2027At sea
-
SAT · 02 Jan 2027Gustavia (St. Barth)
Gustavia is the capital of Saint-Barthélemy and is regarded as the "Côte d'Azur of the Caribbean". The small natural harbour, surrounded by international boutiques, gourmet restaurants and elegant yachts, blends relaxed island feel with European refinement.
