St. John's (Antigua)
7 nights
St. John's (Antigua)
How the route could go:
-
TUE · 14 Mar 2028St. John's (Antigua) · Embarkation
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.
-
WED · 15 Mar 2028Terre-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.
-
THU · 16 Mar 2028Gustavia (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.

FRI · 17 Mar 2028Gustavia (St. Barth)
-
SAT · 18 Mar 2028North Sound
-
SUN · 19 Mar 2028Norman 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. Off the "pirate island" you can explore the caves of Treasure Point, take a guided kayak tour from Peter Island, and climb the hill for sweeping views over the Sir Francis Drake Channel; the beach bars serve grilled fish, seafood and cocktails.
-
SUN · 19 Mar 2028Great 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.
