Nearby, visitors can explore the historic centre and waterfront areas, while the island’s easygoing, sun-washed atmosphere is never far from the quay.

Captain's Best offers the easygoing, sunlit atmosphere typical of the Grenadines, with clear water, anchored boats and low green hills framing the coast. Arriving by ship, you can expect quiet island scenery and nearby coves and beaches that invite a relaxed look at the surrounding shoreline.

Approaching St. George’s by sea, you are greeted by a steep green shoreline and a picturesque harbour lined with pastel buildings climbing the hills above the water. Near the port, the town has a warm Caribbean feel, with lively streets, views over the bay, and nearby hills and historic waterfront areas adding to the charm.

Tobago Cays welcomes arriving ships with a dazzling lagoon of clear turquoise water, tiny islets, and bright coral shallows. The mood is peaceful and castaway-like, with nearby reefs, sandy beaches, and green cays creating one of the most idyllic seascapes in the Grenadines.

Arriving in Admiralty Bay, you are greeted by a broad, sheltered harbour edged with green hills, pastel houses and a lively waterfront dotted with small boats and yachts. Nearby, Bequia offers relaxed Caribbean charm, sandy beaches and wide views across the Grenadines rather than the bustle of a large commercial port.

Frequently asked questions about tall ship cruises and sailing ships

Many leisure and introductory voyages accept guests without sailing experience. Training and expedition voyages may require active participation, minimum ages or a particular level of mobility. Check the operator's conditions for the exact voyage before booking.
Start with the operator's joining instructions because space, dress rules and required equipment vary by ship. Soft luggage, layered clothing, a waterproof outer layer, sun protection and operator-approved non-slip footwear are common recommendations. Ask a medical professional about suitable seasickness precautions if needed.
Choose a cruise on the Cruise Tall Ships site, click the offer and go to the operator's booking page. We do not charge fees – we connect you directly with the cruise organizer.
Choosing a tall ship cruise is more than just booking a vacation; it is an invitation to experience the timeless romance of the sea. Unlike modern, crowded cruise liners, a traditional sailing vessel offers an intimate atmosphere where the sound of the wind in the canvas replaces the hum of engines. Taking part in such a unique voyage allows you to connect with maritime heritage while enjoying the comforts of a modern leisure cruise. Whether it’s the thrill of seeing the horizon from a wooden deck, the spectacular sight of a full press of sail, or the chance to visit hidden coastal gems inaccessible to larger ships, a tall ship voyage offers a sense of freedom that is simply unmatched. 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.
Tall ships cruises take place on many waters: Baltic, North Sea, Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean and others. Each offer indicates the region and route.
Safety rules, vessel certification, briefings and required equipment depend on the ship, flag state, route and operator. Review the operator's current safety information and ask them directly about certification or accessibility before booking.
Follow our website and newsletter – we regularly add new cruises and news. You can also subscribe to the newsletter to receive information about offers.
Swimming requirements vary by operator and voyage. Do not assume that a life jacket removes an operator's swimming or mobility requirement; confirm the conditions for the specific departure.
