And this southeast corner is no exception. Shop for jewellery made of locally mined amber. Feast on the Spanish, African and Taino cuisine. Or explore the Chavron River, which landed a starring role in the film ‘Apocalypse Now’.......

Arrive: Thu 19 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 19 February 2026 at 18:00

One of the British Leeward Islands, St Kitts is one of the Caribbean’s pearls. Once an illustrious sugar colony, it now focuses its efforts on being a tropical paradise. And it excels in every sense, with its seductive blend of blonde sands and duck-egg blue seas. Away from the shores though, you’ll find plenty of historic sights to tick off your checklist. Or why not pop across to the neighbouring island of Nevis, which is just three kilometres over The Narrows channel?......

Day 11 - Roseau

Arrive: Fri 20 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 20 February 2026 at 18:00

Known as the island of waterfalls, Dominica is as green as it is unspoilt. Fairly off the tourist trail, this exotic isle is a paradise for nature lovers. In fact, it’s one of the Caribbean hotspots for scuba-diving and rainforest trekking. And of course, it’s got some superb beaches. Not the snow-white variety you’d expect, but dramatic volcanic sweeps and secluded coves hidden by greenery. Have your camera at the......

Arrive: Sat 21 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 21 February 2026 at 18:00

If you’re a big fan of the beach, prepare to lose your heart to this place. Antiguans like to boast they have a different one for every day of the year. Without doubt, porcelain, palm-fringed sands and still turquoise waters are the star of this island show. But that’s not all Antigua’s got to boast about. Get ready for towns in a rainbow riot of colours. Quiet countryside that slumbers in the sunshine. And cuisine as sublime as those moon-white shores......

Nature’s the star attraction in the British Virgin Islands. We dock at Tortola, the biggest isle.

It’s wondrous. It’s waiting.......

Day 14 - Samana (Dominican Republic)

Arrive: Mon 23 February 2026 at 11:00 / Depart: Mon 23 February 2026 at 18:00

When Christopher Columbus docked here back in the 15th century, the region made quite an impression. Fast forward 500-odd years and the good-looking slice of the Dominican Republic is still melting hearts. Coconut-covered mountains march down to the sea. Crystal streams wind their way through lush forests. And virgin sands lie waiting to be discovered. If it’s untouched Caribbean you’re after, look no further.......

Day 15 - La Romana
