Fly from UK to Bridgetown, Barbados – After embarkation and settling into your cabin, you have time to explore the history and culture of this eastern most island in the Caribbean. |
|
Barbados – Captain’s Choice – Thirty islands and specks of sand make up the gloriously untouched Grenadines. We’ll call on one of these Islands, for a blissful, laid-back beach day. We’re sure, you’ll never be disappointed. |
|
Captain’s Choice – Grenada – The aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla baking in the sun. The taste of twice-distilled rum and spicy Creole ‘lambi’ on your tongue. These are the tropical flavours of Grenada, where locally grown spices are carefully cured by native women, and the distilleries offer uncommonly smooth libations. From the horseshoe-shaped Carenage at St. George’s, where sailing ships were once “careened” or tipped on their sides to clean, follow the Sendall Tunnel (hand-built in 1895) to the Esplanade and old Ft. George for a spectacular view of Grenada. |
|
Grenada – Tobago Cays – Four small islets, virtually deserted but enormously appealing for those who love underwater exploration, Tobago Cays is a national park where snorkelling is superb. There are picnic and camping sites and beautiful protected anchorages for overnight yacht stops. |
|
Tobago Cays – St Vincent – Bequia – Royal Clipper usually anchors in the lee of Young Island which lies just 197 yards off the southern tip of St. Vincent. Young Island is a very small and hilly private island resort with a narrow sandy beach. St. Vincent is just a 10 minute ferry ride away. The island is ruggedly beautiful with tall peaks blanketed by a lush, tropical rainforest. The natural harbour of Port Elizabeth at Bequia is a meeting point for sailors from all over the world. The exquisite waterfront beckons you for a gentle stroll along the harbour. If you are lucky, you will see turtles and a variety of tropical birds. |
|
Bequia – Martinique – Martinique is the classic French Caribbean island. Wild and mysterious, yet urbane and sophisticated, it is France with a tropical twist, with something for almost everyone. You won’t be able to resist the charms of spicy Creole cooking and tempting boutiques in Fort de France. |
|
IMartinique – St Lucia – Marigot Bay, one of the prettiest anchorages in the Caribbean, is surrounded by lush hills and ringed by drooping coconut palms. James Michener described it as the archetype for paradise in the Caribbean. On the bay there are plenty restaurants (Doolittle’s is the most famous) and inland you can visit a banana plantation. Our alternate stop, the little Port Town of Soufrière was named after a nearby volcano by the French, who ruled St. Lucia before the English took it over. Locals call it the world’s only drive-in volcano. Prettier sights are to be seen at Diamond Falls and Mineral Baths where you can walk the gardens and take a dip in the pool under the waterfalls. St. Lucia’s lush rainforest mountains, including the famous Pitons, are truly spectacular. |

St Lucia – Barbados – Disembark and transfer to the airport for your return flight or to your hotel if extending your stay. |
