Tropical Caribbean Getaway Cruise

Your SeaDream cruise through the exotic Caribbean starts with arrival at St. Thomas’ international airport. You’ll enjoy a warm welcome from your private driver who will transfer you to the port of Charlotte Amalie where your elegant yacht awaits. Hop aboard and get settled into your stateroom, taking time to rest and refresh. Once you’re ready you can enjoy the ship’s facilities and have a glass of sparkling wine at the Sailaway party. The elevated Signature Balinese Dream Beds provide a perfect place to unwind while soaking up the surrounding views.

Today, you’ll head to Cruz Bay on the smallest of the main US Virgin islands, St. John. It’s renowned for its unspoiled white sandy beaches backed by emerald hills and where it’s highly recommend to join the optional excursion to Trunk Bay for a guided snorkel along the underwater trail – often compared to swimming in an aquarium with an array of colorful fish and other marine life. A kayak/land tour is an alternative as is the guided trek to Caneel Bay, including a stop for a swim at Honeymoon Beach. Or, use the ship’s complimentary mountain bikes to explore on your own.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

The morning’s visit is to Sint Maarten, shared by France and the Netherlands. Your yacht will dock in Philipsburg, the main town on the Dutch side. You’ll be perfectly positioned to take advantage of some of the Caribbean’s best shopping, and it’s all tax-free. Front Street is home to big designer brand names such as Rolex, Cartier, and Michael Kors. You can also find beautiful sapphire necklaces and other jewelry, along with souvenirs and local treats, including various flavors of rum and guavaberry sauces. There’s also a possibility of participating in the America’s Cup 12 Metre Regatta, the “ultimate sailing adventure” on an optional excursion.

One of the more exclusive Caribbean islands, St. Barths, is next, known for drawing many affluent visitors, including celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and the Kardashians who come to stay in the ultra-luxe resorts, enjoy high-end shopping, and fine dining. As this island is so exclusive, the best way to experience it without being one of the rich and famous is on a SeaDream cruise. In fact, overnighting here is a very special experience afforded to the privileged few.

Wake up to another day in paradise. Gustavia is a go-to for luxury shoppers, with the pretty harbor-side street of Quai de la République lined with designer stores like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Cartier. Alternatively, you can choose from several water and land activities, including hiking or cycling. Perhaps simply marvel at the lavish mega-yachts nearby.

Breathtaking Prickly Pear lies in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. A bird sanctuary, it was named for the cacti dotted across the island which was declared a national park in 1988. Uninhabited, it’s filled with stunning untouched beauty, including some incredible secluded beaches. From the main beach, Vixen Point, you’ll find scenic hiking trails meandering around the island, passing salt ponds and beautiful views of the surrounding islands while leading to the north shore and its two secluded stretches of sand. Bring the ship’s complimentary snorkeling gear and you can explore a magnificent underwater world with abundant marine life.

Making your return to St. Thomas after a thrilling week of cruising the Caribbean, disembarkation will be early this morning although you’ll have time for one last breakfast onboard. Afterward, you’ll be met by your driver who will provide a private transfer back to the airport if you’re ready to catch your flight home. Or, you can opt to be transferred to a local hotel, extending your stay here in Charlotte Amalie. With so much to do here, from spending time on beautiful beaches to exploring rich history, it’s worth at least an extra day or two.
