Itinerary
Day Philipsburg, Sint MaartenDepart 07:00 PM "This Leeward island has been famously bisected into French and Dutch territories since 1648, and is referred to both as Saint Martin and Sint Maarten. In their respective capitalsóMarigot and Philipsburgóthere are ancient stone forts and candy-colored buildings lining winding streets. The Dutch side has a slightly larger population but is a bit smaller, at 34 square kilometers (13 square miles), versus the 53-square-kilometer (20-square-mile) Saint Martin.
Named for its founder John Philips, Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side, has some excellent international art galleries, thumping discos and popular casinos. Farther afield are beautiful beaches and a seemingly endless array of nature conservancies. With them come extensive opportunities for adventureóhiking, biking and zip liningóand amazing wildlife sightings in the sea, on land and in the sky."
Day Basseterre, St. KittsArrive 08:00 AM Depart 10:00 PM St. Kitts and Nevis are a pair of islands that form a single Eastern Caribbean nation. Ripe with historical sites, the larger St. Kitts passed hands among the Spanish, French and English, with the latter establishing the strongest foothold. The architecture and layout of its capital city, Basseterre, are all typically British. And the island's sprawling, colonial-era plantations are a reminder of the tumultuous history of the tobacco, rum, sugar and slave trades that were here for generations. Beyond its rich past, St. Kitts offers golden-sand beaches for relaxing, a lush jungle interior that welcomes heart-pumping adventure, laid-back bars with fantastic sunset views and restaurants serving up über-local fare.
Day Little Bay, Montserrat, BWIArrive 08:00 AM Depart 04:00 PM Today we visit âPompeii of the Caribbeanââan island that is half lush and green, half gray and covered in ash by a volcano in 1995. And if a half-buried city isn't intriguing enough, there are black-sand beaches and a perplexing Irish heritage to explore.
Day Soper's Hole, Tortola, B.V.I.Arrive 08:00 AM Depart 10:00 PM Arrive at the boardwalk of Pusserââ¬â¢s Landing and mingle with other yachtsmen in the utterly charming marina at Soperââ¬â¢s Hole. Find a deserted stretch of beach to kick back and ponder this tiny portââ¬â¢s rich heritage of romance, pirates, and adventure. An evening departure features a once-in-a-lifetime sunset Sail Away and cruise that glides along Sir Francis Drake Channel and on through ââ¬ÅThe Narrows.ââ¬Â
Day Jost Van Dyke, Great Harbour, B.V.I.Arrive 08:00 AM Depart 11:59 PM For an island comprised of a mere eight square miles, it's amazing how much there is to do on Jost Van Dyke. Visit the national park
on nearby Diamond Cay, snorkel among swaying sponges and angelfish at Sandy Spit, or pilot your own boat around Sir Francis Drake
Waterway. After all that, you'll be ready for an evening drink on the beach â where you can admire your Windstar ship aglow in the
harbor.
Day Virgin Gorda, Prickly Pear Beach, B.V.IArrive 08:00 AM Depart 05:00 PM A beautiful coral reef wavers just beneath you as your ship makes the break into exclusive North Sound. You can imagine the reaction of the locals watching from The Bitter End Yacht Club as your ship comes around the corner under full canvas. At the other end of the island lies the curious assembly of house-sized boulders called âThe Baths,â which form huge underground pools and caverns that you're free to explore.
