Check the voyage itinerary
Arriving in Bridgetown, you come into a busy Caribbean harbour backed by low-rise city streets, palms, and the bright light of Barbados’ west coast. Nearby, visitors can explore the historic centre and waterfront areas, while the island’s easygoing, sun-washed atmosphere is never far from the quay.
Rodney Bay welcomes arriving ships with a bright Caribbean marina setting, calm water, and green hills rising behind the coast. Nearby, visitors can enjoy sandy beaches, resort-lined shores, and broad views toward the northern headlands of Saint Lucia.
Arriving at Cabrits, you are greeted by a lush, volcanic coastline, calm bay waters and a quieter, more remote corner of Dominica than the island’s larger ports. Nearby, the Cabrits peninsula and the old hilltop fort offer striking views over Prince Rupert Bay, with dense tropical greenery all around.
Falmouth Harbour on Antigua opens onto a broad, sheltered bay lined with green hills, marinas, and a lively yachting scene. Arriving by ship, you get a taste of the island’s relaxed Caribbean atmosphere, with historic English Harbour and scenic coastal viewpoints close by.
Arriving in Basseterre, you are met by a bright Caribbean waterfront backed by green hills and the low-rise capital of St Kitts spreading just beyond the harbour. Nearby, visitors can look out for the town’s historic core and the island’s lush volcanic scenery, with a warm, easygoing atmosphere that feels both lively and relaxed.
Approaching Terre-de-Haut by ship, you arrive in one of the prettiest anchorages in the French Caribbean, with green hills, clear blue water, and a harbour dotted with small boats. Nearby, the village climbs gently above the bay with colourful houses and waterfront cafés, while the island’s ridges and viewpoints give the whole place a relaxed, sunlit atmosphere.
This stop has the feel of a quiet Atlantic shoreline, with open sea views, sandy stretches and a relaxed coastal atmosphere rather than a busy city waterfront. From the landing area, the appeal is in the nearby beach and the surrounding coast, where you can enjoy fresh sea air, broad horizons and an easygoing island mood.

It is the perfect choice for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and a truly luxury sailing experience that stays with them long after they return to shore.
