The Route
Bridgetown
15 nights
Santo Domingo
How the route could go:
-
TUE · 21 Dec 2027Bridgetown · Embarkation
Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados and boasts one of the best-preserved colonial city centres in the Caribbean, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. Barbados is regarded as the birthplace of Caribbean rum - a distillery tour is a must.
-
WED · 22 Dec 2027Man O War Bay
In northern Tobago, Man O War Bay carves into the island as one of the deepest natural harbours in the entire Caribbean. The wide crescent with its fishing fleet is the gateway to Charlotteville village and the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, the oldest legally protected rainforest in the western hemisphere.
-
THU · 23 Dec 2027Saint George
Saint George's is the capital of Grenada and one of the most picturesque harbour towns in the Caribbean: colourful terraced houses on the slopes, a natural harbour basin and Fort George with panoramic views. Grenada is the "Spice Island" - nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves shape both cuisine and landscape.
-
FRI · 24 Dec 2027Tobago Cays Inseln
A group of uninhabited islets in the Grenadines, framed by a horseshoe-shaped coral reef. The crystal-clear water and pristine reefs make the Tobago Cays one of the loveliest anchorages in the eastern Caribbean - home to sea turtles.
-
SAT · 25 Dec 2027Port Elizabeth (Bequia) (Bequia)
Port Elizabeth on Bequia (Grenadines) is the most charming Caribbean harbour for yachts. The small bay with wooden schooner boatyards on the beach, the turtle conservation programme and the whaling tradition make Port Elizabeth unique.
-
SUN · 26 Dec 2027Cabrits National Park (Dominica)
Cabrits National Park on Dominica covers tropical forest, wetlands and the restored 18th-century ruins of Fort Shirley. Dominica, the "Nature Island of the Caribbean", is one of the least touristically developed countries in the region. 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.
-
MON · 27 Dec 2027Terre-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.
-
TUE · 28 Dec 2027Soufriere
Soufrière sits at the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage Pitons - the striking volcanic cones that rise sheer from the sea and are the symbol of St Lucia. Hot sulphur springs, tropical rainforest and cocoa plantations surround the small port town. At the nearby Sulphur Springs you drive right up to the steaming sulphur vents in the crater - the world's only drive-in volcano.
-
WED · 29 Dec 2027Saint-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.
-
THU · 30 Dec 2027Charlestown (Nevis)
Charlestown is the capital of the island of Nevis and the birthplace of US Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Colonial stone architecture, Pinney's Beach and the hot springs at the foot of Nevis Peak shape the island.
-
FRI · 31 Dec 2027North Sound - Virgin Gorda
North Sound is a sheltered bay in the northeast of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Turquoise water, surrounding islets and quiet anchorages make the sound a popular sailing area.
-
SAT · 01 Jan 2028Jost 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.
-
SUN · 02 Jan 2028Santo Domingo · Disembarkation
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.

In the Caribbean, Sea Cloud II sails through waters that recall the great age of the windjammers - between islands where time seems to stand still.
