Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Philipsburg
The Dutch-side capital of St. Maarten, set behind the long curve of Great Bay. Front Street is wall-to-wall duty-free; a short water taxi or drive reaches the French side's Marigot market and the famous low-flying jets over Maho Beach.

Virgin Gorda
One of the British Virgin Islands, a hilly cay in the eastern Caribbean known for The Baths — a beach where giant granite boulders form tidal pools and grottoes. Quiet bays, yacht anchorages and a relaxed, low-key pace define the island.

- Spring Bay
- Day4
Gustavia
The harbour capital of St. Barthélemy, a chic French island in the Caribbean. Yachts crowd the small port below red-roofed hills, with designer boutiques along the quay and quiet coves and beaches scattered around the rugged coast.
