Your Caribbean cruise begins in the bustling capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, where you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on a vibrant itinerary in search of paradise. 

Please book your flight to arrive into Bridgetown prior to 07:00 PM.

This morning you will depart Bridgetown to set sail for Port St. Charles. Located on the northwestern coast of Barbados, Port St. Charles is a stunning beachfront marina overlooking the aquamarine Caribbean Sea. It’s known as the gateway to the Barbados Riviera and boasts waterfront eateries, a yacht club and crystal-clear waters for swimming, sailing, and snorkelling. 

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. Its capital Kingstown is clustered around the bay on the island of St Vincent and has excellent shopping and dining. Visit St. George’s Anglican Cathedral, an elegant Georgian-style church circa 1820, with colourful stained-glass windows. In the afternoon we will sail to Bequia. 

Bequia Island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a hidden paradise, with secluded spots and no traffic. It offers visitors a chance to experience true Caribbean living without the hustle and bustle of beach tourism. Guests can explore untouched pristine beaches, relax and be pampered.  

Mayreau is the smallest of the Grenadines’ inhabited islands, measuring only four-square kilometres (1.5 square miles), with a population of approximately 250 people. From the church on top of the hill you can see both Grenada and St Vincent islands on a cloudless day, along with the vivid colours of the coral reefs. In the evening, we sail to Union Island. 

Union Island is renowned for its clear and calm turquoise waters and laid-back lifestyle. It has stunning white-sand beaches encircled by lush tropical mountains and various beachfront bars and restaurants. Today why not spend the day swimming and snorkelling off the yacht enjoying our Emerald Cruises marina toys.

Today we set sail to Tobago Cays, an awe-inspiring archipelago known globally as the ultimate paradise destination. It’s a popular yacht anchorage spot and the warm, sand-bottomed aquamarine waters are brimming with turtles, vibrant fish, stingrays, and starfish. One of the islands outside the reef, Petit Tabac, is where Pirates of the Caribbean (2017) was partly filmed.

After breakfast, take your time exploring Bridgetown, renowned for its cultural diversity, first-rate cultural scene, and delicious cuisine. In the afternoon, step back on board your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht for the second leg of your journey to the Eastern Caribbean and St. Barth. 

Soufrière was the original capital of Saint Lucia and it’s located in the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano. Visitors can indulge in mud baths, sulphur springs, and see the pair of lava domes, Gros Piton and Petit Piton. The local cuisine is delicious — savour everything from green figs and salt fish to local callaloo soup made with crab or shrimp.

Îles des Saintes, known as Les Saintes, is a miniature archipelago of eight tropical islands with a distinctive French and Caribbean culture fusion. Discover quaint towns, with their collection of petite stone buildings and small white-sand beaches. Don’t miss Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site with incredible views of one of the islands.

Located on the island of Antigua, Falmouth Harbour is a peaceful port encircled by historic buildings and plantation mansions of a bygone era. Nelson’s Dockyard is worth visiting — the UNESCO World Heritage site dates to the 18th century and houses interesting naval heritage, boutiques, bars and restaurants.

Nevis and Saint Kitts are a dual-island nation in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of West Indies in the Caribbean Sea — Nevis is the smaller island of the two. Edged with unspoilt curves of sand, the island is dotted with Georgian-style buildings, remnants of sugar plantations and casual, beach-shack eateries.

Gustavia, the capital of the Caribbean Island of Saint Barthélemy, was named after Sweden’s King Gustav III who boldly declared it his own island getaway in 1785. In this vibrant city uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping region, photograph the brightly painted wooden houses, and feast on unique cuisine with French and Creole influences.

This morning we cruise to Anguilla, the most northerly of the British Leeward Islands, popular for diving, snorkelling and glass-bottomed boat rides. Anguilla is a low-lying island of coral and limestone and has beautiful island scenery of palm trees, plantation houses and vibrant viridian waters contrasting with white sand. In the late evening we sail to Marigot.

Your Emerald Cruises luxury voyage draws to a close in Marigot. From the yacht, you will be transferred to the airport for your journey home or to continue your holiday.
