The Route
Philipsburg
7 nights
Philipsburg
How the route could go:
-
MON · 04 Jan 2027Philipsburg (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.
-
TUE · 05 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.

-
THU · 07 Jan 2027St. John’s
St. John's is the capital of Antigua and Barbuda and a lively port set on a sheltered bay. Colourful Georgian timber houses, St. John's Cathedral and the public market define this Caribbean town.

SAT · 09 Jan 2027White Bay (Jost van Dyke)
On the south coast of the tiny BVI island of Jost van Dyke, White Bay glows: a curving bay of powder-white sand and turquoise water, reached only from the sea. It is famous for its barefoot beach bars set right in the surf - above all the Soggy Dollar Bar, birthplace of the rum cocktail known as the "Painkiller". A Caribbean picture-postcard made for anchoring and wading ashore.
-
SAT · 09 Jan 2027Great Harbour (Jost van Dyke)
Great Harbour is the main settlement and principal anchorage of Jost van Dyke. Simple beach bars line the sheltered bay; the legendary Foxy's Tamarind Bar has been a meeting point for the Caribbean sailing community for decades. Despite its famous New Year's Eve revelry, the place keeps its easy-going, unhurried island character.
-
SUN · 10 Jan 2027Norman 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.
