Castries
Castries beckons with Caribbean splendour and French-inspired architecture. Explore bustling markets, relax on palm-fringed beaches, and embrace Saint Lucia's subtropical charm amidst lush landscapes.

Nestled in the Caribbean, Basseterre exudes understated island allure. From historic landmarks to pristine beaches, the capital of St. Kitts invites travellers to unwind in an ideal tropical haven.

Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada in the Azores offers volcanic vistas and Portuguese cultural experiences. Discover historic architecture like the Portas da Cidade (City Gates) and try a queijada pastry at one of the city's many seaside cafes.

Leixos
Near the city of Porto, Leixos is one of Portugal's major seaports and is widely associated with the exporting of port wine. Day trips to Porto are a popular activity, but there are also quayside beaches and cafes to enjoy on either side of the Douro River.

Itinerary

Arrives: 09 Mar 2026 | Barbados

Day 1 - Bridgetown

Located beside the island’s only natural harbour, the capital of Barbados combines modern and colonial architecture with glorious palm tree-lined beaches and a number of historical attractions. Experience the relaxed culture of the city renowned for its British-style parliament buildings and vibrant beach life, and seek out the Anglican church and the 19th-century Barbados Garrison. The distance b...

Arrives: 10 Mar 2026 | Saint Lucia

Day 2 - Castries

The typical image of a lush tropical paradise comes to life on the friendly island of St Lucia. Despite its small size – just 27 miles long and 14 miles wide – St Lucia is rich in natural splendour with dense emerald rainforest, banana plantations and orchards of coconut, mango and papaya trees. The twin peaks of Les Pitons, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site rise dramatically 2,000 feet into the sk...

Arrives: 11 Mar 2026 | Antigua and Barbuda

Day 3 - Saint John's

With its superb beaches, historical attractions and beautiful coral reefs, Antigua provides a host of diversions. It is said that the island contains 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. Antigua maintains its traditional West Indian character, with gingerbread-house style architecture, calypso music and carnival festivities. St John’s has been the administrative capital since the island’s c...

Arrives: 12 Mar 2026 | Saint Kitts and Nevis

Day 4 - Basseterre, Saint Kitts

Mountainous St. Kitts, the first English settlement in the Leeward Islands, crams some stunning scenery into its 65 square miles (168 square km). Vast, brilliant green fields of sugarcane (the former cash crop, now slowly being replanted) run to the shore. The fertile, lush island has some fascinating natural and historical attractions: a rain forest replete with waterfalls, thick vines, and secre...

Arrives: 19 Mar 2026 | Portugal

Day 11 - Ponta Delgada, Azores

Offering solace on the long journey across the Atlantic, Ponta Delgada is the Azores Islands' largest city, and a welcome relief for any weary sailor. Located on an archipelago of Portuguese islands, some 1,100 miles from the mainland, you can explore humbling volcanic scenery, as well as Sao Miguel's verdant landscape - which glows with colour when the hydrangeas that the Azores are known for blo...

Arrives: 22 Mar 2026 | Portugal

Day 14 - Leixões

Ever since the Romans constructed a fort here and began using it as a trading post, Oporto has been a prosperous commercial centre. In the 15th and 16th centuries the city benefited from the wealth generated by Portugal’s maritime discoveries, and later, the establishment of a lucrative wine trade with Britain compensated for the loss of the spice trade. Today, Portugal’s second-largest city is a...

Arrives: 25 Mar 2026 | Netherlands

Day 17 - IJmuiden

North Holland’s ‘Gate to the North Sea’, IJmuiden has four harbours: the Vissershaven, Haringhaven, IJmondhaven and the Seaport Marina - the latter used by pleasure craft. It is the largest Dutch fishing port, but is a relatively young town: it grew up in the 1870s when the North Sea Canal was opened. During World War II, the German Navy demolished much of the town and built huge fortified concret...

Arrives: 26 Mar 2026 | England

Day 18 - Tilbury

Just 22 nautical miles down river from the Tower Bridge in London, Tilbury is a popular turnaround port for cruises visiting Baltic and Northern European destinations.
