Follow in the wake of Caribbean pirates on your way to lush islands, fragrant plantations and stylish ports.

French style on the IIes des Saintes
The IIes des Saintes give such a welcoming first impression, though the historical Fort Napoleon that towers over the main island is a reminder of less peaceful times. The little town on Terre-de-Haut is perfect for taking a stroll, and the savoir-vivre of life here unfolds against a backdrop of the glowing pastel colours of the Caribbean.

The jet set island of St Barts
When the banker David Rockefeller came to this island in the 1960s, he realised one thing: that this is a great place to live. Since then, the small Antilles island of St Barthelemy has welcomed an increasing number of celebrity guests and evolved into a getaway for the rich and famous. Many Hollywood stars love to come here for a holiday retreat and enjoy taking a stroll along the quaint streets of Gustavia.

Sailing along the trade winds
Trade winds is the name given to the powerful currents of air that great seafaring nations used to rely upon to carry their fleets across the Atlantic. Today they are one of the reasons why the Lesser Antilles have become a paradise for sailing enthusiasts. The warm trade winds that blow around the Leeward Islands mean sailors constantly have the wind in their sails.

The natural beauty spots of St Lucia and Dominica
The pitons of St Lucia are world famous and magnificently beautiful. But perhaps even more beautiful is the unique view you will have of this stunning natural masterpiece from the Sea Cloud iis anchorage. Dominica is one of the wildest and most primal of the Lesser Antilles. The heart of the island is covered in thick virgin forest, where you will find plunging rivers and small creeks winding their way through the jungle.

Tobago: an island paradise
The small fishing village of Charlotteville is situated in Tobagos idyllic Man-O-War Bay and can only be reached by land via a steep road which cuts through the rainforest. With the yacht anchored in the towns picturesque bay, you will have plenty of time to discover the island or to plunge into the emerald-green waters.

A delight for all the senses: Grenada, the island of spice
There is a reason why nutmeg is immortalised on this countrys national flag. Since colonial times nutmeg along with cloves, cinnamon and ginger has been one of the islands most important exports. If the aromatic fragrance of the tropics were to have a name, it would have to be Grenada.

Bequia and the Tobago Cays popular sailors haunts
In the small town of Port Elizabeth on Bequia you will find sailors meeting for a catch up on the local beach or outside the towns small bars. The small archipelago of the Tobago Cays offers protected anchorages in its lagoons. Beach heaven awaits you there.

All excursions listed worth approx. 400 are included in the rate!

Day 1 - Bridgetown (Barbados)
Guests arrive individually in Barbados. Embarkation on the Sea Cloud II. More than 300 years of British rule have left their mark. The whole of Bridgetown, Barbados' historic centre, with its colonial architecture surrounding Trafalgar Square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gentle green hilly countryside and endless fields of sugar cane characterise the island's landscape. Old colonial houses are reminders of the high life of the plantation owners, while innumerable colourful chattel houses are evidence of their workers' "moveable property". The sweeping coastline is a picture postcard of fine sandy beaches and turquoise sea surrounded by colourful coral reefs.
Day 2 - At Sea
Day 3 - Terre-de-Haut/Iles des Saintes (Guadeloupe)
Iles des Saintes is a small archipelago which was disputed for a long time until it finally became French in 1816. In the charming main town of Terre-de-Haut, you can take a delightful stroll along the waterside promenade. Boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants invite you to browse and spend some time here. The 'savoir vivre' takes place against a backdrop lit up in all the pastel shades of the Caribbean. Fort Napoleon is set high above the bay and your climb up to it is rewarded by a spectacular panoramic view. On the other side of the island, the Plage de Pompierre invites you to enjoy a dip in the sea and sunbathe on the beach.
Day 4 - Falmouth Harbour/Antigua (Antigua & Barbuda)
In Falmouth Harbour's neighbouring bay lies an old natural harbour fortified by the Royal Navy. This British naval base was important in the 18th and 19th centuries and is known as the English Harbour. The imposing fortifications, Georgian docks and lovingly restored former workshops, dwellings and warehouses in Nelson's Dockyard remind us of the time when Britain "ruled the waves". From the old fortifications at Shirley Heights you have a breathtaking view over the port and the whole coastline. There is partying and dancing at weekends, with live music from popular steel and reggae bands. Excursion - Nelsons Dockyard.
Day 5 - Gustavia/St Barthelemy (France)
St Barthelemy, affectionately known as St Barths by most, had already had many "owners" before the Lesser Antilles were acquired by France in 1877. When the first estate was acquired by the banker David Rockefeller in 1957, the island's future was finally sealed. It became a refuge for the international jet set and an elegant holiday paradise for many Hollywood stars. For over 40 years, St Barths has cultivated a luxurious lifestyle with a Caribbean laissez-faire approach. You can stroll through the charming main town of Gustavia, whose beautifully restored houses and colonial facades look out over the sea with its elegant superyachts, browse in the shops for precious items, or enjoy a sundowner in the picturesque harbour surrounded by clusters of high class bars and restaurants.
Days 6 & 7 - Cabrits (Dominica)
Dominica, nicknamed the "Nature Isle" of the Caribbean, is one of the most untouched of the Windward Islands. It boasts some of the highest mountains in the Lesser Antilles, as well as many beautiful national parks. Its interior is characterised by thick virgin forest, where rivers plunge into the depths and tiny streams wind through the jungle. Two extinct volcanoes are at the centre of the Cabrits National Park and, recaptured by nature, the former strategically important Fort Stanley appears like a picturesque backdrop in the heart of the jungle. Excursion - Walk in the national park or Creole cookery course.
Day 8 - Bridgetown (Barbados)
More than 300 years of British rule have left their mark. The whole of Bridgetown, Barbados' historic centre, with its colonial architecture surrounding Trafalgar Square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gentle green hilly countryside and endless fields of sugar cane characterise the island's landscape. Old colonial houses are reminders of the high life of the plantation owners, while innumerable colourful chattel houses are evidence of their workers' "moveable property". The sweeping coastline is a picture postcard of fine sandy beaches and turquoise sea surrounded by colourful coral reefs. Excursion - Island trip.
Day 9 - At Sea
Day 10 - Man-O-War Bay/ Tobago (Trinidad & Tobago)
Excursion to the Argyle waterfall.
Day 11 - St. George's (Grenada)
Beautiful beaches, aromatic spice plantations, dense rainforests, waterfalls and a volcano that has long been extinct, picturesquely towering over this stunningly beautiful island. For many people, Grenada is the incarnation of a tropical paradise and St George's the most beautiful little port in the Grenadines. All around the horseshoe-shaped bay there are numerous houses that remind you of colonial times. There is good reason why nutmeg is immortalised on the national flag. Alongside cloves, cinnamon and ginger, it is one of the island's biggest exports. Excursion - Island trip.
Day 12 - Soufriere (St. Lucia)
Two famous volcanic cones are indisputably the emblem of St Lucia and have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Gros and Petit Piton tower over the southern, windward side of the island and, in Soufriere, seem close enough to touch. The volcanoes have in fact long been extinct, but the sulphur springs demonstrate the power of the earth's core and still bubble up. In the Botanical Gardens, natural abundance is combined with artistic arrangements to create a colourful tropical paradise. Some people claim that Josephine, who later became Napoleon's wife, used to bathe in the little pool in the garden. Excursion to the botanical gardens and the volcanic sulphur springs.
Day 13 - Tobago Cays & Chatham Bay/Union Island (St. Vincent and Grenadines)
Right in the south of the Grenadines are Union Island and the Tobago Cays. Union Island was given the evocative name "the Tahiti of the West Indies" thanks to its volcanic silhouette. Four small uninhabited islands, surrounded by a protective horseshoe-shaped coral reef, form the Tobago Cays. The Horseshoe Reef holds the Atlantic swell at bay and its unique animal and plant life make it an ideal place for snorkelling. The lagoon between the islets shimmers in all shades from turquoise through to emerald green and invites you to take a dip at the fantastic beaches. Snorkelling and swimming excursion to the Tobago Cays.
Day 14 - Port Elizabeth/Bequia (St. Vincent and Grenadines)
Bequia is actually the largest island in the Grenadines, but still small and tranquil at just 18 square kilometres (87 square miles) in size. Elegant sailing yachts sway in the natural shelter of Admiralty Bay, while in lovely Port Elizabeth, with its attractive beach bars, you are right in the heart of a lifestyle that likes to take things easy. You can find Princess Margaret Beach just nearby, named because it was once visited by the British royal. On the eastern coast you can find the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary which focuses on rearing and caring for endangered turtles. Excursion to a turtle sanctuary.
Day 15 - Bridgetown (Barbados)
Disembarkation. Guests return home individually.
