Your luxurious yacht cruise begins in Marigot, where you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on your discovery of the Eastern Caribbean and St. Barth. Please book your flight to arrive into Marigot prior to 03:00 PM. Named for Sweden’s King Gustav III, Gustavia is the charming capital and main seaport of the island of Saint Barthélemy, also known as St. Barth. It is often considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean and a tropical paradise with French flair. You will enjoy the beauty of its large idyllic beaches, plus the charm and refinement of its old wooden houses. The tropical haven of Antigua offers hundreds of beaches to choose from – but this island is also famous for those in search of active exploration. From the remnants of British rule, such as rich plantations, crumbling mansions and sugar-cane industry ruins, are still visible today, as well as the beautiful Nelson’s Dockyard with its restored buildings dating back to 18th century. Antigua’s biggest centre is Falmouth Harbour, located in the south of the island close to English Harbour. A visit to Terre-de-Haut is like taking a trip to the South of France – with the addition of just a few more palm trees and white-sand beaches. Situated off the beaten path, Les Saintes’ eight peaceful tropical islands are part of a volcanic archipelago fully encircled by shallow reefs. The history and culture of the Îles des Saintes are to be discovered in Fort Napoléon, where one can also get to know the local flora and fauna at the botanical gardens. Don’t miss the chance to try the island’s signature dish, le tourment d’amour, a small tart with coconut jam and covered in sponge cake. Home to around 5,000 people, the village of Saint-Pierre was once almost wiped off the map in less than two minutes during an eruption of the Mount Pelée volcano in 1902. In more recent years, Saint-Pierre (also known as ‘Little Paris’) has been named as the 101st ‘City of Art and History’. A visit to Saint-Pierre will allow you to discover a few remnants of Martinique’s colonial history: the old theatre, the ruins of the island’s fort and the dungeon of Cyparis, as well as the wonderful site it is today, facing a gorgeous bay and leaning in the foothills of Mount Pelée. Soufrière was the original capital of Saint Lucia and is one of the island’s most memorable spots. The town has kept the spirit of the French colonialists who first settled there but were later followed by the British. Soufrière is situated in the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano, so one can enjoy hot springs and geothermal fields, as well as botanical gardens and waterfalls all in the same area. Later, you’ll visit the Glittering Beach, where you can indulge in the warm sunshine from your lounger or take a refreshing swim in the azure Caribbean waters. The Tobago Cays are an archipelago located in the southern Grenadines, famous for five small uninhabited islands: Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Baradal, Petit Tobac and Jamesby. The main attraction here is the Tobago Cays Marine Park, a national park and wildlife reserve. Renowned for its massive 1,400-acre lagoon, the park is surrounded by the vivid horseshoeshaped reef. This is an idyllic area to enjoy sand-bottomed and crystal-clear waters teeming with colourful fish and turtles. After breakfast, you can explore Bridgetown on your own, discovering the hidden gems of this Caribbean hotspot. In the afternoon, we’ll welcome you back on board your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht for the second half of your journey where you’ll get to explore the Grenadines in depth.

This is an idyllic area to enjoy sand-bottomed and crystal-clear waters teeming with colourful fish and turtles. The second-largest in the Grenadines Island chain, and Bequia's main port, is Port Elizabeth. It is a tranquil and quiet destination built along a picturesque little bay with forested hills behind. The most popular sights in town are the open-air market, which gives a very 18th-century feel, as well as the Belmont Walkway known for the town’s best shops and restaurants along Admiralty Bay. Kingstown is a small capital but offers a big appeal for visitors. It is wrapped around the bay on the south-western coast of St. Vincent. The busy harbour provides the town with a vibrant ambience and the waterfront offers a variety of possibilities for shopping, dining, and water sports. St. George's Anglican Cathedral, one of the town’s highlights, was built in 1820 and is an outstanding example of Georgian architecture. Today, you’ll explore one of the wildest and most pristine parts of Union Island – Chatham Bay. It welcomes visitors with its picture-perfect turquoise waters and a white-sand beach surrounded by green hills. The coastline located north of the bay is also known for snorkelling. Many species can be observed in its clear waters (porcupinefish, Moray eels, angelfish), and one can even see lobsters, which seem to enjoy inhabiting the bay’s rocky seabed. Mayreau is the smallest of the Grenadines’ uninhabited islands, with a surface area of only 4 square kilometres (1.5 square miles). The population of Mayreau is no more than 250 people who live in the village on the island’s highest hill, Station Hill. The charming little church and community centre at the top of the hill provide spectacular views over the islands. On a clear day, one can see both Grenada and St. Vincent, as well as other nearby islands, showcasing the pretty colours of the reefs and waters around the Tobago Cays. Today you will enjoy a barbeque on shore together with your fellow travellers. The small, rural island of Carriacou boasts many fine beaches and gentle hills for one to discover. There are about 12,000 inhabitants on the island nowadays – as well as a large number of goats grazing around islands flora: cacti, acacia and bougainvillea. Hillsborough is not as crowded with tourists as other destinations in the Caribbean despite the friendly locals and its natural harbour. This allows you to enjoy the quiet beaches and a more peaceful discovery of the island. Your time aboard your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht comes to an end in Barbados. After bidding farewell to the crew and your fellow guests, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight home. Please book your flight to depart out of Bridgetown after 12:00 PM
