View itinerary
- Day 1
  St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
  Plan to arrive at St. Thomas airport before 7 PM for your yacht transfer. Book an early afternoon flight to avoid traffic around Charlotte Amalie. You'll catch beautiful evening views over the harbor. The Havensight area has several good restaurants within walking distance of most cruise docks - perfect for dinner before boarding.
- Day 2
  St. John, US Virgin Islands
  A short sail takes you to St. John in the morning. Visit Trunk Bay when it opens at 7 AM for the best snorkeling conditions. You'll need water shoes for the underwater snorkel trail because of sharp coral. If you're interested in hiking, take the Reef Bay Trail through the tropical forest. It's a 4-mile walk, but start before 10 AM to avoid peak sun.
- Days 3-4
  Virgin Gorda & Norman Island, British Virgin Islands
  Get to Virgin Gorda's Baths before 9 AM to beat the crowds at the granite boulder formations. Wear water shoes with good grip on the slippery rocks. The swim-through caves and grottoes are beautiful but might be difficult for some visitors. The Caves at Norman Island offer great snorkeling, especially in the morning's calm waters. Stop for lunch at Pirates Bight beach bar and watch the yachts in the harbor. A recent visitor shared: "The snorkeling at The Caves was incredible - we saw schools of tropical fish and even a sea turtle. Go early when the water visibility is best."
- Day 5
  Anguilla & Sint Maarten
  Start at Sandy Ground, Anguilla, known for calm waters and white sand beaches. In the afternoon, take a 2-hour sail to Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. The island's Dutch-French mix is interesting to explore, but keep in mind prices are usually higher on the French side.
- Days 6-7
  Saint Barthélemy
  Your captain will arrive early in Gustavia's harbor to find good anchoring. The shopping is excellent but stores close between 12-3 PM for lunch. Shell Beach is great for swimming and you can walk there from town. Bring cash - many restaurants don't take cards, and ATMs sometimes run out during busy seasons.
- Day 8
  Return to St. Thomas
  The return sail to St. Thomas takes 4 hours and starts early. Book flights after 1 PM to have enough time for disembarkation and immigration. If you have extra time, visit Coral World Ocean Park near the cruise port.

- Day 1
  St. John's, Antigua
  Plan to arrive in Antigua's capital before 4 PM for embarkation. If you get there early, check out the duty-free shopping at Heritage Quay. The St. John's Cathedral with its beautiful Baroque towers is just a 10-minute walk from the port.
- Day 2
  Barbuda
  Sail to Antigua's quieter sister island, Barbuda. Visit Pink Sand Beach in the morning before it gets too hot. Bring water shoes since the sand can get very warm in the afternoon. The Frigate Bird Sanctuary is home to one of the Caribbean's largest colonies. Visit between September and April to see the males display their bright red throat pouches.
- Day 3
  Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
  Start your day at Fort Napoleon when it opens at 9 AM for the best photo opportunities. The fort's gardens give you great views of nearby islands. Remember that local shops typically close for lunch from 12-2 PM.
- Day 4
  Deshaies, Guadeloupe
  This traditional fishing village is best seen on foot. Start your morning at the Jardin Botanique when the flowers are fresh. Stop by the local fish market near the port around 7 AM to watch fishermen bring in their morning catch.
- Day 5
  Gustavia, St. Barthélemy
  Experience French elegance mixed with Caribbean relaxation in Gustavia. Go snorkeling at Shell Beach in the morning when the water is calm. After 10 AM, explore the French boutiques along Rue de la République in the shopping district.
- Day 6
  Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
  Get to The Baths before 9 AM to avoid crowds. Pack water shoes as the granite boulders can be slippery. A recent visitor shared: "The path through The Baths can be challenging, but the hidden pools and grottos make it absolutely worth it. Go early and follow the rope guides."
- Day 7
  Norman Island, British Virgin Islands
  The locals call this "Treasure Island." Visit The Caves in the morning for the best snorkeling visibility. Have lunch at Pirates Bight Beach Bar and enjoy watching the yachts in the harbor. Bring cash since some vendors don't take cards.
- Day 8
  St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
  Book your departure flight after 11 AM to have enough time for disembarkation and airport transfer. You can visit the Charlotte Amalie historic district, just 15 minutes from the port, if your schedule allows.
