This 7-night Caribbean sailing itinerary roundtrip from Bridgetown, Barbados, traces a classic arc through the Windward and Leeward Islands, blending colonial history, volcanic landscapes, rainforest interiors, and relaxed beach culture. From the British heritage of Barbados and Antigua to the French-influenced charm of Les Saintes and Martinique, the voyage balances lively harbours with secluded bays. Highlights include sailing in company toward Dominica’s Cabrits National Park, exploring lush waterfalls and coral-rich waters, and unwinding on golden and white-sand beaches framed by turquoise seas.
Highlights
• Scenic tall-ship sailing toward Cabrits, Dominica, with access to rainforest trails, coral reefs, and historic Fort Shirley.
• A diverse mix of British and French Caribbean heritage in Barbados, Antigua, St. Kitts, Les Saintes, and Martinique.
• Idyllic beach stops including South Friar’s Bay and the white-sand shores of Martinique, ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
On the wild and rugged east coast of Barbados, the isolated beaches are the colour of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. The easternmost island of the Windwards, and indeed, of the entire Caribbean, reaches out to Africa and the Old World, as if not quite part of the New. Bridgetown, Barbados, is an interesting town full of contrasts. George Washington actually slept here! Trafalgar Square reminds you that the laidback, rum- and fun-loving island's British influenced heritage includes revered traditions like cricket and high tea.
Rodney Bay, located in the northwest of Saint Lucia, is one of the island’s most popular tourist destinations. Known for its fine sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant marina, Rodney Bay offers the perfect mix of relaxation, water activities, and nightlife. The region is rich in history and culture, with visible British and French colonial influences in its architecture and traditions. Whether you're looking for peaceful beaches, water sports, or cultural discoveries, Rodney Bay has something to offer everyone.
The charming four-masted Star Flyer and the magnificent five-masted Royal Clipper will sail alongside each other as passengers travel towards Cabrits, on the north-western tip of Dominica. This breath-taking 525-hectare national park is home to a beautiful tropical forest, vibrant coral reefs and wetlands that are teeming with native wildlife. It is also home to Fort Shirley – a restored 18th-century British garrison that offers panoramic views of Prince Rupert Bay.
Dominica is a dream-like island, full of surprises. Glide through a steamy orchid-festooned rainforest in a fascinating boat ride or hike to breathtaking Trafalgar Falls and a bubbling lake.
The dockyards, marinas, old inns, venerable pubs and convivial crowds of sun-tanned yacht crews- this is the epicentre of the Caribbean yachting world. Today, every faded pink brick and weather-worn bollard of Nelson's Dockyard evokes the presence of the greatest naval commander in history.
St. Kitts' was the first successful colony in the British West Indies. Shop in colourful Basseterre, play golf and tour old plantation houses. For the adventuresome there's a brisk hike through the rainforest.
The beach we visit is a beautiful beach with golden sands and calm, clear waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The beach is flanked by lush hills and offers a tranquil setting, with several beach bars and restaurants providing a laid-back atmosphere.
Les Saintes is a thoroughly entrancing group of islands lying off Guadeloupe. You'll enjoy the superb beaches, snorkelling, diving and other watersports on offer.
Martinique's beaches are renowned for their stunning white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters, offering picturesque spots for both relaxation and water sports.
On the wild and rugged east coast of Barbados, the isolated beaches are the colour of sunrise, the red sands having blown all the way across the Atlantic from the Sahara. The easternmost island of the Windwards, and indeed, of the entire Caribbean, reaches out to Africa and the Old World, as if not quite part of the New. Bridgetown, Barbados, is an interesting town full of contrasts. George Washington actually slept here! Trafalgar Square reminds you that the laidback, rum- and fun-loving island's British influenced heritage includes revered traditions like cricket and high tea.
