Fort Lauderdale is our departure point for this festive holiday sailing. Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as we make our way to the beautiful beaches of Grand Turk, capital of the Turks and Caicos archipelago. Another sea day brings us to St. John’s in Antigua, an island that claims a beach for every day of the year; Bridgetown, the vibrant heart of Barbados; and St. George’s in Grenada, known as the spice island for its fertile soils that produce nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves – be sure to stock up at the local market. In Kingstown on the island of St. Vincent, explore the former British garrison of Fort Charlotte and see where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed, before the soaring twin volcanic cones, the Pitons, signal we are approaching Castries on Saint Lucia. Next is Basseterre, Saint Kitts, where there are soft, white sands to bask on and French and British colonial architecture to discover. Two final days at sea bring us back to Fort Lauderdale.
