British & French Islands Escape, 25 January 2029

Cruise overview

Bridgetown sets the tone for this northward journey through the eastern Caribbean, opening with a quieter glimpse of Barbados in Speightstown before the islands begin to unfold. The Tobago Cays arrive early, their crystalline waters and protected marine park offering some of the Caribbean’s most rewarding snorkeling, before an overnight in Bequia’s Port Elizabeth reveals the Grenadines at their most authentic. St. Pierre follows with Martinique’s most storied port, where colorful buildings climb toward the brooding presence of Mount Pelée and a resilient waterfront character lingers. In Îles des Saintes, bougainvillea-draped lanes and a harbor ringed by green hills create a scene more reminiscent of provincial France than the tropics, before Charlestown reveals Nevis at its most unhurried and South Friars Bay offers a quieter stretch of golden sand framed by St. Kitts’ volcanic hills. Marigot follows with the easy sophistication of St. Martin’s French side, where waterfront bistros and open-air markets invite an afternoon of wandering before continuing to St. Barths for an overnight stay in Gustavia, where softly lit terraces and boutique-lined streets settle into a more intimate evening rhythm. Our signature Champagne & Caviar Splash® unfolds along the soft sands of White Bay in Jost van Dyke, where chilled champagne is served alongside caviar, followed by an elegant beachside barbecue and time to linger in the water and sun before the journey concludes in St. Thomas.
