The Route
St George's
10 nights
St John's (Antigua)
How the route could go:
-
St George's · Embarkation
St George's is the capital of Grenada and is considered one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the Caribbean. Pastel-coloured houses, old Fort George and the spice market give the town its distinctive character.
-
Charlotteville (Tobago)
Charlotteville is a fishing village on sheltered Man o' War Bay at the north-eastern tip of the Caribbean island of Tobago. The deeply indented bay is one of the Caribbean's finest natural harbours, and in the hinterland lies the oldest legally protected rainforest in the western hemisphere.
-
Carriacou
Carriacou is the largest of the Grenadines and belongs to Grenada. Traditional Caribbean in feel, home to old wooden boatbuilding yards and the tombolo sandbar between Carriacou and Sandy Island - one of the least discovered islands in the southern Caribbean.
-
Mayreau
Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island of the Grenadines. Salt Whistle Bay - a perfect crescent of beach with crystal-clear water - is considered one of the finest bays in the Caribbean.
-
Tobago Cays (islands)
The Tobago Cays are five uninhabited small islands in the Grenadines, sheltered by a vast coral reef. Turquoise lagoon water, sea turtles for snorkelling and untouched nature make the Tobago Cays perhaps the most beautiful anchorage in the Caribbean.
-
Bequia (island)
Bequia is the second-largest of the Grenadines and one of the most unspoilt Caribbean stops. The small boatbuilding tradition (wooden schooners are still built on beach yards today) and the turtle conservation programme are unique.
-
Fort-de-France
The capital of Martinique glows in Caribbean colours, with Creole architecture, lively markets and French cuisine. Particularly striking are the ruins of Saint-Pierre, the "Caribbean Pompeii", buried in 1902 by the eruption of Montagne Pelée.
-
Terre-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.
-
Basseterre (St Kitts)
Basseterre is the capital of Saint Kitts and one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the English-speaking Caribbean. Brimstone Hill Fortress, the "Gibraltar of the Caribbean", has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
-
South Friars Bay (St Kitts)
South Friars Bay lies on the quiet south-eastern coast of Saint Kitts, sheltered by hills and the South East Peninsula. The bay is known for its calm water and relaxed beach-bar atmosphere.
-
St John's (Antigua) · Disembarkation
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.
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.
