Day 4

Philipsburg

Sint Maarten

Town, sand and sea.

Ships dock at Point Blanche, around the headland from Philipsburg itself, and the boardwalk into town is a pleasant walk or a two-minute water taxi. Front Street and Great Bay beach are the easy day; the French side at Marigot and the beach under the Maho runway need a car or a tour.

Ways to spend your day

  • Town & lunch

    Browse Front Street and the boardwalk, with a food stop chosen around your arrival time.

  • Beach & boardwalk

    Stay beside town for a beach stop, lunch and a little browsing without a cross-island drive.

  • Airport beach

    Choose a planned trip across the island for plane spotting, with both rides arranged in advance.

Day 5

St. John's

Canada

A harbour park, local culture, a hilltop view.

St. John's is the easternmost city in North America, a harbour ringed by cliffs with a row of painted houses above it. Signal Hill, where the first transatlantic wireless signal was received, is a walk up from the docks and the view back down is the reason to do it.

Ways to spend your day

  • Harbourside Park

    Enjoy the park and harbour setting available during your call.

  • The Rooms

    Choose open galleries and exhibits, with optional cafe time checked separately.

  • Signal Hill viewpoint

    Observe the conditions present from a locally confirmed permitted viewpoint.

Day 6

Roseau

Dominica

Waterfalls or a waterfront day.

Roseau docks in the capital, a small working town with the Caribbean's greenest interior directly behind it. Dominica is a hiking and waterfall island rather than a beach one: Trafalgar Falls, the Emerald Pool and the boiling lake trail are what the day is for.

Ways to spend your day

  • Trafalgar Falls viewpoint

    Choose the designated viewing route and a prearranged return drive.

  • Museum & Roseau

    Explore the waterfront and nearby cultural stops, with a transfer included if berthed at Woodbridge Bay.

  • Creole waterfront lunch

    Build a relaxed outing around Palisades lunch, with the café as a lighter alternative.

Day 7

Bridgetown

Barbados

A town walk or Carlisle Bay.

Bridgetown docks at the Deep Water Harbour, a hot fifteen-minute walk or a short taxi from the centre. Barbados rewards going further than the town: the west coast beaches, Harrison's Cave and the Atlantic surf at Bathsheba are all different islands in effect.

Ways to spend your day

  • Historic Bridgetown

    Explore the city with a flexible route, keeping the port transfer separate from your town time.

  • Carlisle Bay package

    Compare the cruise-passenger package and its return schedule before committing to a beach day.

  • A shorter port visit

    Stay with the terminal’s food and shops when you prefer a short outing or less travel.

Day 8

Basseterre

St. Kitts and Nevis

At your own pace.

Port Zante puts you in the middle of Basseterre, so the town is a walk and the beaches are a short ride south to Frigate Bay. The scenic railway around the old sugar estates is the excursion that is genuinely hard to arrange independently.

Ways to spend your day

  • Stay close

    Browse Port Zante, wander into town, and leave room for a relaxed return.

  • Beach lunch

    Make the beach your main outing, with lunch at Carambola and a return ride arranged.

  • Fortress views

    Make the historic fortress the focus, then browse the port if your call leaves time.

Day 9

St. Thomas

U.S. Virgin Islands

Choose a beach day or explore Charlotte Amalie

St. Thomas is the busiest of the US Virgin Islands, and ships berth at Havensight or Crown Bay, both a short ride from the capital at Charlotte Amalie. Magens Bay is the beach everyone goes to; the ferry across to St.

Ways to spend your day

  • Magens Bay & lunch

    Choose beach time and Fairchild’s in one place, with park entry and rentals budgeted separately.

  • Sapphire Beach

    Spend the outing at Sapphire with your rental arrangements and return point settled.

  • Keep it near your arrival

    Use your arrival area’s shops and food options when a beach round trip would squeeze the day.
