Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Docking in Road Town, Tortola offers a blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. Just steps from the ship, Tortola Pier Park boasts over 50 shops and restaurants. Beyond the port, explore pristine beaches, embark on catamaran cruises to secluded coves, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Norman Island's caves.

St. John's, the capital of Antigua, welcomes you with its colorful colonial architecture and rich history. Known as the "Land of 365 Beaches," Antigua offers endless opportunities for relaxation and adventure. Explore historic sites like Nelson's Dockyard, hike rainforest trails, or sail through aquamarine seas on a catamaran.

Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, combines British colonial charm with Caribbean flair. Stroll through the city's UNESCO-listed historic district, visit local markets, or relax on nearby white-sand beaches. Don't miss the chance to swim with sea turtles or explore the island's lush interior on an island tour.

Castries, nestled in a scenic harbor, serves as a gateway to St. Lucia's natural wonders. From the port, venture to the iconic Pitons, explore tropical rainforests, or soak in the island's famed Sulphur Springs. In town, browse vibrant markets and savor Creole cuisine.

Basseterre, the capital of St. Kitts, offers a mix of colonial history and natural beauty. Wander through Port Zante's shops and cafes, then explore the island's lush landscapes, historic plantations, and panoramic viewpoints. Consider a short ferry ride to Nevis for tranquil beaches and charming villages.
