12514A

Volcanic silhouettes, secluded palm-lined beaches, and unassuming island charm define this journey through the Grenadines, Guadeloupe, and French West Indies. As you ail from Barbados to Sint Maarten’s lively capital of Philipsburg, begin by calling on secluded Mayreau, just east of the Tobago Cays, where the azure waters of Salt Whistle Bay meet the aroma of savory lobster. Wander the tiny island of Bequia, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and silvery stretches of beach. Uncover Îles des Saintes, a small archipelago of eight incredible islands off the southern coast of Guadeloupe. Explore the verdant mountainous landscape of Nevis and venture into the island’s charming cobblestoned capital of Charlestown. Take in the awe-inspiring coral reefs and fascinating flora and fauna of Anguilla’s Sandy Ground and the chic ambiance of French-infused St. Barths, where you overnight.

Ports

  • Bridgetown, Barbados
    Bridgetown, Barbados

    SeaDream uses the port of Bridgetown as the hub for their Southern Caribbean voyages as well as some voyages that cross the Atlantic. The Island itself includes UNESCO Heritage Sites, excellent beaches and history dating back to 1628. The climate is tropical with constant warm temperatures during the year cooled by light trade winds.

  • Mayreau
    Mayreau

    Accessible only by yacht and small sailboats, Mayreau is the smallest public island of the Grenadines, with an area of about .46 square miles and a population of less than 300, centered in an unnamed village on a hilltop in the southwest of the island—its highest point and a nice hike from Saline Beach, where SeaDream anchors. Surrounded by magnificent coral reefs and gorgeous beaches, Mayreau and its surrounding Tobago Cays waters sit in a nationally protected area that has experienced a resurgence of marine life, including turtles that swim and feed while you mingle with and observe them. Take in the flora and fauna and don’t miss some of the best snorkeling in the world. Perhaps the ideal spot to anchor, Saline Bay provides easy access to Saline Bay Beach and Salt Whistle Bay Beach, a rare double-sided beach.

  • Port Elizabeth, Bequia
    Port Elizabeth, Bequia

    Bequia is the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and long silvery stretches of beach. Among the first things you will notice are the colorful model boats set up on stands around the tiny harbor, representing the island's maritime history. If you are lucky enough to have a late call, don’t miss Mac’s Lobster Pizza.

  • Terre De Haut, Îles des Saintes
    Terre De Haut, Îles des Saintes

    If you’re looking for a small part of France in the heart of Guadeloupe, Terre de Haut is your go-to. Being the largest of the eight small islands that make up Les Saintes, Terre de Haut is a charming and scenic village rich with red-roofed houses and accompanying gardens of flourishing Hibiscus. Known for its robust reefs and great underwater visibility, Terre de Haut has also become a favorite among divers.

  • Charlestown, Nevis
    Charlestown, Nevis

    Nevis is one of our favorite islands, and we encourage you to explore Nevis beyond the small town to make the most of your visit! We offer several excellent and varied options for you to do so and still leave you with plenty of time on your own for the beach. Less commercial and laidback than its large neighbor St. Kitts, Nevis, at first glimpse, offers a stunning approach with dramatic views of the potentially active volcanic Nevis Peak (3,232 feet/985 meters). Your SeaDream tender will bring you within a few steps of the small town center. Charlestown does not offer too many sightseeing or shopping opportunities though the house where American statesman Alexander Hamilton was born is only a short walk away along the waterfront (now the Museum of Nevis History). To enjoy Nevis to its full potential, we recommend that you divide your day into Morning, Lunch/Afternoon and Evening activities. Morning - Start your day by exploring the island, above or under water, on one of our fun optional Land Adventures. They are all enjoyable & exciting, and you will also support the local community. The Four Seasons Resort still offers incredible golf options as well as beautiful beach and dining facilities. Another option for lunch is the L'Escale French Caribbean-style bistro, just down the road near the Oualie Pier. Evening - For a romantic sunset with cocktails and a snack or dinner, we like to take the short drive to see Gillian, the owner of the charming Bananas Restaurant, which offers lovely views surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Of course, there is also Sunshine's Beach Bar & Grill, home of the famous "Killer Bee" Caribbean rum drink. We hope that the above recommendations allow you to plan your special day on Nevis. Now, all you have to do is to decide which of the optional morning activities to join.

  • Sandy Ground
    Sandy Ground

    This British Overseas Territory is becoming more popular due to the incredible resort options as well as world recognized beaches and amazing golf. SeaDream offers an opportunity to tee off, snorkel, or, for the energetic, bike around the island with the Club Director. Naturally, we will also offer water sports while we are anchored off Sandy Ground.

  • Gustavia
    Gustavia

    Perhaps our most treasured destination in the Caribbean! This small island belonging to the French West Indies has so much to offer our SeaDream guests. Incredible shopping only steps away from the pier. Incredible beaches, resorts, restaurants and activities both day and night. SeaDream has created various land adventures for you to discover the island from sea or land. Ask one of the officers to take you on a hike or bike ride around the island. Another great activity here is to simply relax and watch all of the incredible yachts arriving and departing just off your SeaDream yacht.

  • Philipsburg
    Philipsburg

    Philipsburg is the main town on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. The town is situated on a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. Philipsburg was founded in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish captain in the Dutch navy. The settlement soon became a center for international trade. The main shopping district is located on Front Street and is in the heart of the city. Many consider Philipsburg to be the best shopping opportunity in the Caribbean. Depending on the traffic, SeaDream has the option to anchor or dock alongside. One of the highlight activities may be to participate in the America’s Cup 12 Metre Regatta.

    Description

    Board your sleek catamaran for an exciting sail-away from Mayreau to the beautiful five small islands of the Tobago Cays for a morning of swimming and fun. This Nationally Protected area has observed a resurgence of marine life, including turtles which swim and feed while you intermingle and observe them.

  • Port Elizabeth, Bequia - Snorkeling Bequia

    Description

    Join your fellow SeaDreamers on a fun snorkeling expedition and scenic cruise off the coastline of Bequia. There is perhaps no better way to enjoy the waters of the Caribbean than a bit of sightseeing and snorkeling -- just the right combination to provide a sense of relaxation and adventure simultaneously.

    Climb aboard a sleek bower boat and set off toward one of the island's best snorkel sites. As you sail past, you will notice some rather unusual homes set into amazing natural rock formations and arches -- an area known as Moon Hole. Keep your eye out for the island of Mustique in the far distance.

    Once you are in the water, equipped with mask and snorkel, keep an eye out for tiny shellfish, sea fans, and sponges in their natural habitat, and watch as tropical fish dart playfully around you. Return to the boat where the captain's famous rum punch will be served. Enjoy the scenery as you cruise to the beach for a quick beach stop at Princess Margaret beach. After your swim continue sipping on your drink during the cruise back to the pier.

  • Sandy Ground - Speed Boat Beach Hopping & Snorkeling

    Description

    Board a private speed boat and set off to your first snorkel spot at Little Bay, the tiniest beach on Anguilla and one of the most beautiful locations to snorkel. It is also one of the most private beaches on Anguilla, since the only way to get there is by foot or by water. Since it is protected by high cliffs on three sides there is hardly any surf, making it a perfect snorkel stop. Snorkeling in these crystal-clear warm waters will be a rewarding experience with plenty of colorful fish, squids and shells. In general, Anguilla is well known for its snorkeling and has an abundance of fish; you can find the feisty little black-barred Sergeant Major and plenty of colorful Wrasses, Snappers and Grunts. Then on to the second snorkel stop, which is at Shoal Bay, where you will find a reef abundant with coral and sea fans, along with Parrot Fish, Blue Tang and even Trunk Fish, the ones that look like little triangular boxes. After this, the third stop will be Sandy Island also well known for its excellent snorkeling. After this last snorkel experience, you will board the speed boat to return to the pier in Road Bay while enjoying a well-deserved rum punch.

    Notes

    Guests must be able to swim and feel comfortable with snorkeling equipment. In addition, the boat captain will use his discretion when selecting the stops and snorkeling locations based upon the current weather and sea conditions for the best guest experience.
