The British Virgin Islands and French West Indies meld into the dreamiest of island journeys, complete with the most breathtakingly diverse spots in the Caribbean. Explore the sheltered isle of Culebra, the crown jewel of Puerto Rico’s Archipelago, and Vieques Island, framed by the world’s brightest bioluminescent bay. Let time stand still in Prickly Pear, a stunning island tucked away in the Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, before greeting the awe-inspiring coral reefs and fascinating flora and fauna of Anguilla’s Sandy Ground. Overnight in chic St. Barths, the jetsetter’s Caribbean playground. Explore the verdant mountainous landscape of Nevis and venture into the island’s charming cobblestoned capital of Charlestown. Discover Antigua’s culturally rich Falmouth Bay, a short stroll from Nelson's Dockyard and the English Harbor. Your journey ends in lively Philipsburg, where you may choose to explore Sint Maarten’s Dutch-infused capital.
San Juan, founded in the 1520’s by Spanish settlers, is both the largest city and the capital city of Puerto Rico. A territory of the Unites States, Puerto Rico is comprised of the large main island as well as five smaller islands, including the popular islands of Vieques and Culebra (both ports of call on select SeaDream voyages).
SeaDream docks in Old San Juan, the oldest part of the city. Parts of this historic port city are still surrounded by stone walls dating back to the 1500’s. Narrow cobblestone streets, small shops, and points of interest like Cathedral of San Juan Bautista make this charming city a great place to stroll. Guests sailing into or departing from San Juan will enjoy views of Castillo de San Felipe del Morro, a mid- 1700’s Spanish fortress.
San Juan Luiz Munoz Marin Airport is approximately a 30-minute drive to the port in Old San Juan. Currency in Puerto Rico is USD.
An 11-square-mile island off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico, Culebra is also home to the small adjacent uninhabited islands of Culebrita and Cayo Norte to the east and Luis Peña to the west. Culebra’s breathtaking beautiful Flamenco Beach regularly appears on lists of the “World’s Best Beaches.” Following your day exploring Culebra, that evening we invite you to Vieques Island, where you can kayak in bioluminescent waters filled with glittering sea organisms.
Esperanza is a charming “barrio” located on the south side of the island-municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico. It is known for El Malecon, which means “The Strip,” the fishing tradition, the fight against the US Navy, and Esperanza Beach, one of the only locations in Isla de Vieques with restaurants and restrooms close by. Children enjoy jumping off the pier at the beach, and
for those who enjoy good food and local entertainment without the hustle and
bustle of a busy nightlife, El Malecon in Esperanza is the place to be. The island’s name, Vieques, is said to mean “small island” in Taino, and its nickname is Isla Nena, meaning “Little Girl Island”. Puerto Rico’s little sister island - Vieques measures 55 square feet with under 10,000 inhabitants. Along with Culebra and other various small islands, the archipelago makes up the Spanish Virgin Islands, or “Passage Islands.” Vieques was also referred to as “Crab Island” by the British. English and Spanish are both recognized as official languages of the area.
As with the other Puerto Rican islands, pre-Columbian history is limited in clarity. Archaeologists believe Vieques was home to
Native Americans who migrated from the American continent between 3000 and 2000
BCE. A fragmented human skeleton named “El Hombre de Puerto Ferro” was discovered northwest of the popular Bioluminescent Bay, estimated to be from 1900 BCE. Best known as the people in later centuries of Puerto Rico, the Taino culture was comprised of groups from Venezuela, Cuba, and Hispaniola, who
migrated in waves up to 1000 AD. The Taino flourished until Europeans discovered Vieques in the 15th century - often credited to Christopher Columbus.
Vieques became the center of the Taino rebellion against Spain, which ultimately ended in the Taino downfall. Despite this, Spain did not colonize for many centuries and Vieques, along with Culebra, became a sanctuary for pirates and outlaws. The French, Danish, Scottish, and English all attempted to secure Vieques but failed - Spain permanently settled by 1811. When the Spanish-American War concluded in 1898, Spain turned the Puerto Rican islands over to the United States, which by the 1940’s (post-WWII) served as a firing range for the Navy. Up until 2003, a multitude of protests continued for decades, pressuring the United Stated Navy enough to withdraw from the islands.
Vieques is now a National Wildlife Refuge and growing tourist destination. Because of the lack of human interference, most of the areas previously closed off to civilians by the Navy feature over 40 gorgeous beaches, and many natural ecotourism locations for exploration. Blue Beach features an excellent place for snorkeling, Bioluminescent Bay has quickly become a popular spot for its notorious glowing dinoflagellates, and the island is also known for free-roaming 'feral paso fino 'horses.
A stunning island situated in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda and got its name because of the large flowering cactus all over the island. The island was declared a National Park in 1988 meaning the 180 acres will have no further development, just an island filled with natural beauty. Breathtaking hiking trails start from the main beach Vixen Point, winds around the island filled with salt ponds heading to the north shore which has two other amazing secluded beaches.
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.
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.
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.
Falmouth Bay is a short walk from Nelson's Dockyard and the English Harbour. Historic buildings and mills surround it. This harbor and the quiet village has plenty of shops, restaurants and the yacht club. Historic sites, tasty cuisine and a lively cultural scene can all be found on Antigua. But most often it's the beauty and versatility of the island's 365 beaches that draw travelers from afar. Land Adventure possibilities include a helicopter ride over Montserrat, a jeep and snorkel safari and a St. John’s City and shopping exploration.
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.

Enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience, night-time kayaking in Mosquito Bay, at one of the world’s brightest Bioluminescent Bays.
From the small fishing village of Esperanza, your Yachting Land Adventure (YLA) begins with a short bus ride to Mosquito Bay where you are met by your guides. There they will provide thorough pre-training covering all aspects of the YLA and operation of the kayaks. Once inside your double kayaks and under the blanket of night sky, you will watch the sparkling swirls of water created by the paddles’ flow through the water and search for streaks of light created by darting fish around you. Continue paddling across the bay learning about the mangrove forests, wildlife that inhabits the area and the marine life that uses the lagoon as their sanctuary. Learn what gives this bay its mysterious light and the different ecosystems found in the area. Tiny organisms known as dinoflagellates create the mysterious blue-green light. A trip into the bay is a magical and educational experience not to be missed when in Vieques in the evening.
Notes
If you request a kayak for one person, or if your combined weight per kayak exceeds 385 lbs., please notify us by adding your details in the optional Booking Number field. Prices are based on two guests per kayak, therefore please purchase two tickets for a single kayak.
This Yachting Land Adventure (YLA) MUST be prebooked prior to embarking the vessel. Any remaining space will be sold on board based upon availability. Local transportation (not deluxe coaches) is used for the transfer to and from the pier. The journey is short, approximately 15 minutes, and sometimes over gravel and uneven roads. Water shoes (or flip flops) are recommended to board the kayak in ankle deep water.
This experience is only offered on moonless evenings.
A minimum number of participants are required to operate this YLA and space is very limited. All SeaDream YLAs are subject to change. Final departure times will be published on-board.
This is the "Must-see & Do" Yachting Land Adventure on Virgin Gorda, if not in the entire British Virgin Islands. From the pier in North Sound, you and your fellow SeaDreamers will take a 45-minute safari wagon ride over the Gorda Peak National Park to The Baths, an intriguing group of sea caves and unusual rock formations, spectacularly set on an amazing beach. From the parking area follow the winding footpath down to the beach to explore this geological wonder. Wade knee deep through the sea caves formed by mammoth boulders and bask in the shafts of sunlight pouring through the natural ceiling into the pools below. Learn about the boulders' origins and the many curious names given to the rock formations. Swim, relax and enjoy the ambiance of this piece of paradise. Then, retrace your footprints in the sand and ascend the path to the Top of the Baths where you will enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. There is also time to relax and take a dip in the pool before departing via the safari wagons for the return to your SeaDream yacht ion time for your Beach Party.
Notes
Please bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. The portion of the adventure involving actual exploration of the cave area can be considered strenuous to some so set your own pace; do as much or as little as you wish. Guests who prefer to enjoy the beach during this portion of the adventure are welcome to do so. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the footpath to The Baths is uneven and water shoes (not flip flops) in the water. While walking the path through The Baths, your feet will get wet. A backpack will be more convenient than a shoulder bag when walking through The Baths. A minimum participation is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures, and some may have limited capacity. All adventures in the SeaDream Yachting Land Adventures program are subject to change and their operation may be dependent upon sea conditions. Final departure times will be published on-board.

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.

Take a RIB boat ride across the harbor to snorkel near a reef while observing reef fish and marine life in the crystal-clear waters off St Barts. Keep an eye out for green sea turtles, an endangered but relatively abundant species in these waters.
From the pier side in Gustavia Harbor, you will board an open-air RIB boat to begin this excursion. The captain will determine where the best site is to anchor, based upon the weather and sea conditions of the day. If possible, the snorkeling will be just outside the harbor to maximize your snorkeling time. This is where the waters are usually crystal-clear and filled with reef fish. You may spot brilliantly colored angelfish, large groupers, and schools of queen triggerfish. One of the most curious-looking species is the four-eye butterflyfish, which is named for the two dark spots – or false eyes – on the sides of its tail, which are meant to confuse predators. The endangered green sea turtles also gracefully swim in these waters too. You may see them feeding on the seagrass and algae on the reef. They are known as being the largest of all sea turtles and the only ones that are herbivores.
After your time in the water, you will climb aboard the RIB boat ladder for the journey back to the pier and the tender waiting to return you to your SeaDream yacht. Alternatively, you can stay in town and browse the shops to return on your own when ready.
Notes
Guests should be at least 12 years old to participate, good swimmers and in good physical condition to get on and off the boat using a ladder with 6 steps. While turtle and fish sightings are very likely, they cannot be guaranteed.

Meet Alexander Hamilton on Nevis, the charming island where he was born.
Whether or not you read Ron Chernow’s 700+ page biography of Alexander Hamilton or have seen the Broadway play, “Hamilton," you will be enchanted by this storytelling visit to the historic and sublimely scenic island of Nevis. A leisurely, unhurried pace in this tour invites you to fully know the island as Alexander Hamilton almost certainly did.
From our mooring, a comfortable air-conditioned van will drive us into the island’s capital town of Charlestown, rich with Georgian architecture and charm all around. Upon alighting in front of the St. Paul’s Anglican Church, established in 1680, our guide, an engaging Nevisian-born gentleman, begins the tale with how young Hamilton, having been born of unwed parents and unable to attend school, nevertheless began educating himself. We will ‘meet’ some of Alexander's age-group friends through the stories their gravesites and gravestones tell. Next, we’ll cross the road and visit the fascinating Museum of Nevis History and the newer Alexander Hamilton Museum, entry fees included, on the same grounds. Our deeply knowledgeable guide will enhance both with his local and historical knowledge as well as tying current events and institutions (think the US Treasury, among others) to initiatives begun by Hamilton.
A slow drive through Charlestown heads to a stop at the Jewish Cemetery. Jews in 17th century Nevis? Who knew? When the sugar industry was developing in Nevis in the late 17th and 18th centuries and the Sephardic Jews were expelled from Brazil, many moved to Nevis and a substantial community developed. This small walled-in cemetery holds headstones dating from 1679, some with inscriptions in four languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish and Hebrew.
The story continues with a drive on the Main Road while noting the majestic Nevis Peak viewed from every side as we circumnavigate the island. We pass through scenic village of Gingerland, where Hamilton’s maternal grandparents lived, taking in views of the 18th century Methodist Church and the nearby islands of Montserrat and Antigua (clouds permitting).
The last stop on the tour is the remarkable ruin of Cottle Church, a 19th century testament to Blacks and Whites worshiping together and today the beautiful site of weddings and other gatherings. Our guide brings the story full circle in telling this history of the “Queen of the Caribees” – i.e., the historical nickname of Nevis.
Notes
Water is provided as well as chilled towels during this YLA. There is minimal walking although there are three-four small steps in several of the stops.
Discover barefoot luxury at best during a relaxing day at Chrishi Beach Club, an exclusive, privately owned escape on the unspoiled island of Nevis. Just a short drive from your SeaDream yacht, this elegant yet laid-back club offers the perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and warm island hospitality—without a crowd in sight.
Imagine spending your day stretched out on a plush lounger under a breezy umbrella, Wi-Fi at your fingertips, and the gentle sound of waves replacing any beachside buzz. There are no vendors—just you, the sun, and the sea. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip, enjoying a rum cocktail by the shore, or simply soaking up the Caribbean calm, this is your invitation to unwind ashore.
Looking to stay active? Paddleboarding and volleyball are available, and scuba diving can be arranged at an additional cost. Sports fans can catch international games on Fire TV while enjoying drinks at the beach bar.
Chrishi Beach Club’s chic restaurant serves a fresh, internationally inspired menu, from vibrant tropical salads to Caribbean favorites—with plenty of light, healthy options. Your visit includes a welcome drink and a two-course lunch (starter and main, or main and dessert), all enjoyed just steps from the sea.
With warm, attentive staff and a relaxing atmosphere, this is more than just a beach day—it’s a boutique island experience. Our full-day escape is perfect for those seeking serenity, privacy, and polished service—punctuated by the signature SeaDream touch.
Notes
Includes round-trip taxi transfer, welcome drink, starter & main course (or dessert), beach chair, umbrella, and Wi-Fi. Guests need only to bring towel, sunscreen, and credit card for additional purchases.
This is the yachting land adventure that you will certainly tell your friends and family about when you get home!
Cooking with Ras (as in Rastafarian) Iroy (that’s the farmer’s name) is a completely immersive, authentic adventure that has you gathering, chopping, cooking and enjoying this vegan lunch feast.
The guided tour begins with an easy drive in an air-conditioned van, from our moorings toward the north of the lovely, green island of Nevis, often unvisited by typical cruise ship visitors. We stop at the Rastafarian farm and will be welcomed by Iroy and his partner with a refreshing drink of local fruit juices as they begin to tell the story of their neighborhood and their dedication to their land, their vegan farm and lifestyle.
Then it’s off to work! Each couple or team of two or three is given a locally made earthenware pot (which is made from Nevis clay right across the road at the Newcastle Pottery store) to begin collecting their lunch ingredients. Guests compare this to ‘shopping local markets with the Chef’ although this is true farm-to-table. Iroy leads an easy stroll around the small farm while he plucks and identifies each plant and herb. He encourages visitors to harvest their choice of herbs—be it lemongrass, parsley, rosemary, thyme or perhaps a more unusual herb such as Hyssop, with its anise-like flavor and aroma or Borage with a cucumber-like flavor. Your taste buds dictate your choices! Next, to the tables where root vegetables are brought out and each team makes their choice. The root vegetables are chopped by the team, added to the pot, taken to the fire, basics such as lentils and rice are added in—this is where everyone gets truly hungry—and lunch is cooked over the open wood fire.

On this 45-minute, pilot-narrated flight, you will fly to Montserrat to tour its "Exclusion Zone," an area covering 80 sq. kms made off-limits to both ground transportation and habitation. This makes the helicopter the only way to get an up-close look at the Soufriere Hills Volcano.

On the seaside, observe the former location of the W.H. Bramble Airport - abandoned after the 1997 eruptions. Portions of this airport, including the runway were still visible until the partial dome collapse on 11 February 2010, which buried what was left.
