St John’s is the capital of this small island in the Antilles, a former British colony. From Shirley Heights in the south you have a fantastic view over the English harbor and Nelson's Dockyard, an old restored shipyard named after the Admiral. Visit Betty's Hope, a restored sugar mill where "white gold" would have been processed during the island's bitter past. Now sweet black pineapples grow in the gentle rolling landscape around Boggy Peak. The coast is lined with bays and lagoons, dazzling white palm-filled beaches – one for every day of the year – and an almost unbroken coral reef.
Approaching St. John’s by sea, you are greeted by a bright Caribbean harbour edged with low hills, pastel buildings, and the lively waterfront of Antigua’s capital. From the port, the historic town, markets, and nearby beaches give the area an easygoing island atmosphere with a busy maritime feel.

Îles des Saintes is a small archipelago that was disputed for a long time until it finally became French in 1816. In the charming main town of Terre-de-Haut, take a delightful stroll along the waterside promenade. Boutiques, cafés, bars and restaurants invite you to browse and spend some time here. The savoir vivre takes place against a backdrop lit up in all the pastel shades of the Caribbean. Fort Napoleon is set high above the bay and your climb up to it is rewarded by a spectacular panoramic view. On the other side of the island, the Plage de Pompierre invites you to enjoy a dip in the sea and sunbathe on the beach.
Approaching Terre-de-Haut by sea, you are met by one of the loveliest bays in the Lesser Antilles, with bright water, green hills and a compact village of colourful houses gathered around the harbour. Nearby, quiet streets, small beaches and hilltop views give the island an easy, sunlit Caribbean atmosphere.

St. Barthélemy, affectionately known as St. Barths by most, already had many "owners" before the Lesser Antilles were acquired by France in 1877. When the first estate was acquired by the banker David Rockefeller in 1957, the island's future was finally sealed. It became a refuge for the international jet set and an elegant holiday paradise for many Hollywood stars. For over 40 years, St. Barths has cultivated a luxurious lifestyle with a Caribbean laissez-faire approach. You can stroll through the charming main town of Gustavia, whose beautifully restored houses and colonial facades look out over the sea with its elegant superyachts, browse in the shops for precious items, or enjoy a sundowner in the picturesque harbor surrounded by clusters of high class bars and restaurants.
Arriving in Gustavia, you are greeted by a compact Caribbean harbour framed by green hills, bright waterfront buildings, and a lively mix of yachts and ferries. Just beyond the port, the town’s boutiques, cafés, and hillside viewpoints give St. Barts its polished yet relaxed island atmosphere.

Explorers once used to cross swords in the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Nowadays the sea around the British Virgin Islands is one of the world's best sailing areas. Heavenly bays, gorgeous beaches, idyllic anchoring spots, smart yacht clubs and charming little beach bars make the island a popular haunt for sailors. On Virgin Gorda, once called "The Fat Virgin" by Columbus due to its shape, you can find "The Baths", one of nature's most beautiful oddities, in the National Park. Ground to a sphere and polished to a shine, the huge granite formations on the beach and in the water create a multi-branched labyrinth of giant boulders.
North Sound welcomes ships with calm, bright-blue water, low green hills, and a scattered coastline of marinas, beaches, and small islands. From the anchorage, the atmosphere feels relaxed and upscale, with nearby shores offering easy views of Virgin Gorda’s sheltered bays and elegant Caribbean seascapes.

Approaching Norman Island by ship, you are greeted by steep green hills, rocky coves, and clear turquoise water that gives the anchorage a secluded, tropical feel. Nearby, the island’s sheltered bays and dramatic shoreline are the main sights, offering a relaxed atmosphere shaped more by sea and nature than by any town waterfront.
Great Harbour on Jost van Dyke welcomes you with a small Caribbean waterfront, clear turquoise water, and green hills rising just beyond the bay. From the anchorage or quay, the mood is relaxed and beachy, with quiet island scenery and a few nearby stretches of sand inviting an easy walk ashore.

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.
