The largest town on Saint Barts and the administrative center of the French overseas collectivity in the French West Indies, Gustavia, is located on the island of Saint Barts. It is situated on the western shore of Saint Barthelemy, also known as Saint Barts. The port, which is located in a natural inlet that leads out onto the Bay of Gustavia, is the focal point of the city's layout. Picturesque Gustavia proudly bears traces of a long, Scandinavian presence as well as a rich, French historical past. These include the ruins of ancient forts, a lovely Anglican church with a wooden bell tower, the Wall House, island-style dwellings with colorful shutters, Swedish period warehouses, and a traditional neighborhood situated on a small beach that is dedicated to fishing. Gustavia is home to an eclectic mix of iguanas, night-blooming cactus, and fabulous beaches, as well as luxury yachts, designer boutiques, and celebrities.

Day 6 Pointe a Pitre, Guadeloupe

Pointe-a-Pitre, on the island of Grand Terre, is the largest city and economic center of Guadeloupe, with a sheltered cruise ship port five minutes from town. Colorful 19th-century buildings line the older streets, such as rue Achille Rene Boisneuf, and the focal point of the city is the Place de la Victoire, a park surrounded by old homes and restaurants. Browsing the bustling markets is one of the most popular things to do, with their tropical produce piled high, aromatic spices, and vendors dressed in flamboyant attire.

Day 7 St. Lucia,

Day 8 Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Kingstown has a number of cultural heritage sites like the Botanical Gardens, Fort Charlotte, the House of Assembly, and St. George's Cathedral. Traditional cultural practices such as tea meetings are occasionally held, and there has been some emphasis put on dance, drama, and music festivals.

Day 9 St. Georges, Grenada

St. George's, the capital of Grenada, is a scenic city that is located in the southwest of the island. The town is frequently visited by cruise ships from all over the world, making it a popular port of call. It is known for its red-tiled roofed stores and homes that are scattered throughout the hillside of an old volcano crater. Walking is highly recommended if you want to get a feel for St. George's. Colonialism can be inferred from the brightly colored and vividly painted dwellings. The Grenada National Museum, Fort George, Market Square, Grande Anse Beach, St. Margaret's Falls, Mt. St. Catherine, and Grand Etang Nature Reserve with a crater lake are some of the places that are worth seeing on the island of Grenada.

Day 10 Curacao, Dutch Caribbean

Curacao cruises put you in the center of the Southern Caribbean's action. The vibrantly colored island of Curacao, located some 37 miles north of the coast of Venezuela, is part of the ABC chain of islands, which also includes Aruba and Bonaire. Curacao has two main docking spots: the new Curacao Mega Pier (West Willemstad) and the Curacao Cruise Terminal (Mathey Wharf). Willemstad, often called the Amsterdam of the Caribbean, is the capital and main cruise port on the island of Curacao. It is like an old-world European metropolis that was dumped into the Caribbean. You can take a slow walk through the historic district and port, relax on Mambo Beach, or go to one of the city's many museums to learn about the area's rich cultural history.

Day 11 Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean

Bonaire, the westernmost of the Lesser Antilles, is an island and special municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean. Although Bonaire is the least well-known of the three major islands that make up the Dutch Caribbean ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao), it is known across the world as a scuba diver's paradise. Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Kralendijk is a great starting point for exploring the natural attractions of Bonaire. Due to Kralendijk's small size, the entire town grid may be traversed on foot. You'll find interesting places, including cafes, restaurants, pubs, public spaces, and art galleries. Booking an island tour or participating in outdoor pursuits like scuba diving, snorkeling, or mountain biking may allow you to see even more during your time in port.

Day 12 Aruba, Dutch Caribbean

Aruba is one of the three ABC islands in the southern Caribbean and a popular port of call for cruise ships from Miami, Florida. Aruba, a Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela, is an extremely safe tourist paradise, filled with glistening white sand beaches and countless entertainment options. Aruba also has a unique climate, combining the Caribbean tropics with a beautiful desert landscape. The Aruba travel season from Miami, Florida, lasts all year since the weather stays consistently warm. The best way to maximize your happy memories on the One Happy Island is to spend some time researching the sights and attractions or try some adventurous activities and entertainment.
