Day 1 - Vieux Fort

Day 2 - Portsmouth,Dominica

Arrive: Thu 18 February 2027 / Depart: Thu 18 February 2027

Portsmouth is a port city and naval base on England’s south coast, mostly spread across Portsea Island. It’s known for its maritime heritage and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The dockyard is home to the interactive National Museum of the Royal Navy, the wooden warship HMS Victory, where Nelson died in the Battle of Trafalgar, and HMS Warrior 1860. The Tudor ship Mary Rose is also conserved in a dockyard museum.

Day 3 - Guadeloupe

Arrive: Fri 19 February 2027 / Depart: Fri 19 February 2027

During the feast of All Saints in 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered this archipelago of nine islands that he named "The Saints". Today, only two of them are inhabited. Terre de Haut, in the east, is dominated by the Morne Mire hill; at the summit stands Fort Napoleon, paying homage to the islands' history. In the heart of the botanical garden, shared by iguanas and cacti, there is an exceptional view of the Baie des Saintes, one of the most beautiful in the world. The long shady beach of Pompierre, where it is forbidden to drop anchor, is a peaceful place for a swim, while Pain de Sucre Beach offers wonderful opportunities for snorkelling. On the island, don’t forget to taste the local speciality, the “tourment d’amour”, a cake made with coconut.

Day 4 - Port Elizabeth (Grenadines)

Arrive: Sat 20 February 2027 / Depart: Sat 20 February 2027

In the heart of the Caribbean, Bequia is the second-largest of 32 islands that make up the country of St Vincent and the Grenadines. You will love the lively and picturesque atmosphere of Port Elizabeth, the island’s main town. From the port, a promenade lined with beautiful traditional houses, landscaped gardens and small restaurants runs along the shoreline. It leads to Princess Margaret Beach, a wild beach where Princess Margaret herself has stayed and which seems to emerge directly from the tropical forest. From rainforest to lush meadows and long stretches of sand, Bequia will offer you a natural setting that is conducive to lovely walks and to spending time on the beach.

Day 5 - Mayreau

Arrive: Sun 21 February 2027 / Depart: Sun 21 February 2027

Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island of the Grenadines, with an area of about 0.46 sq. miles and a population of about 271. The population is centered in an unnamed village, located on Station Hill, a hilltop in the south-west of the island. It is an isolated community, accessible only by boat.

Day 6 - Tobago Cays

Arrive: Mon 22 February 2027 / Depart: Mon 22 February 2027

A string of white sandy islands bathed by a turquoise sea, the Tobago Cays are one of the Grenadines little treasures. A diver’s paradise, the waters here are home to corals and tropical fish by the thousand. This is a heavenly spot for the explorers at heart among you who enjoy discovering the beaches and crystal-clear waters where the sea turtles live.

Day 7 - Barbados

Arrive: Tue 23 February 2027 / Depart: Tue 23 February 2027

Day 8 - Vieux Fort
