Grenadines


DAY 1: Bridgetown (Barbados)
Depending on your flight schedule, you can take advantage of your free time to relax on the terrace with a cocktail. Your boarding is scheduled between 4:30 pm and 9 pm at the latest. Once settled in your cabin, you will tour the ship to discover all its nooks and crannies. The boat will set sail at around 10pm towards the marvellous Grenadines archipelago.

DAY 2: The Captain's Choice
This morning, you wake up to a dreamlike landscape chosen by the captain. The natural beauty of the Grenadines, with its white sandy beaches and turquoise water, is the delight of many tourists every year. You will have the opportunity to go ashore to visit the captain's favourite island. At the end of the afternoon, you will set sail for Grenada.

DAY 3 : St. George (Grenada)
Why don't you start the day with an outdoor gymnastics class led by William? At the end of the morning, you'll dock at Saint-Georges, the capital of Grenada, "the spice island". Once ashore, you will appreciate the many aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger... present all over the island. You can go shopping in the town and meet the locals or take part in an excursion that takes you to discover the nutmeg and waterfalls. At the end of the evening, the boat sets sail for Tobago Cays.

DAY 4 : Tobago Cays
The boat drops anchor in Tobago Cays in the early morning. Renowned for having the most beautiful coral reef in the West Indies, this archipelago offers an incredibly rich marine fauna and flora, since fishing is forbidden there. It is in this magical place that a snorkeling excursion will be proposed to you. Those who wish can also try out the many water activities (windsurfing, dinghy, kayak, paddle...) proposed by the sports team.

DAY 5 : Kingstown (Saint-Vincent) - Admiralty Bay (Bequia)
After an early morning arrival in Saint-Vincent, you will have a few hours to discover Kingstown at your own pace or via an optional excursion. The export of exotic fruits being important, you will find shops and markets on every street corner where you can taste freshly picked fruits (red jamboree, guava, mango...). Back on board, the ship sails to Bequia before anchoring in Admiralty Bay. This island, with its calm and peaceful atmosphere, is the ideal place to recharge your batteries. So why don't you take a seat next to the crew to hoist the sails and then head for Martinique?

DAY 6: Fort of France (Martinique)
You start your day in Fort-de-France, the capital of Martinique. Take advantage of your free time to wander around this city, which is punctuated by Caribbean culture, and admire its colonial-influenced architecture (Saint-Louis Cathedral, Fort Saint-Louis, etc.). The boat sets sail again at noon to reach Anse d'Arlet. The beaches are perfect for relaxing and snorkeling in search of tropical fish, turtles, gorgonians ... You leave in late afternoon for St. Lucia. This crossing will be the opportunity to visit the engine room with the chief engineer.

DAY 7 : Marigot Bay - Soufrière (Saint Lucia)
You will spend the day in St. Lucia starting in Marigot Bay and ending in Soufrière. Numerous optional activities and excursions will be proposed to you such as: a 4x4 safari in the forest, zip lines, horseback riding... Those who wish can stay on board for a hammam session or a massage (extra charge). After dinner, you will be invited to a dance party. During the night, the Royal Clipper will set sail for her last navigation, heading for Barbados.

DAY 8: Bridgetown (Barbados)
The ship docks at Bridgetown wharf around 7:00am. Time to say one last goodbye to the crew and you're ashore. Why don't you take advantage of your free time before your flight to relax one last time on this paradise beach? We suggest a relaxing moment at the Copacabana or a tour to discover Barbados by minibus (optional excursions).

      Grenada

    • Nutmeg and waterfalls :
    • Transport: air-conditioned minibus or bus
      Duration: about 4 hours
      Minimum 20 participants - Maximum 120 participants

      The west coast of the island is home to many of Grenada's unique characteristics: spices and cocoa from the Dougaldston estate, nutmeg from Gouyave, high altitude, waterfalls and... plantations!

      From St. George, we will follow the northern route, which runs along the Caribbean Sea. Small fishing villages follow one another and the beaches form a long ribbon of coral and volcanic sand. Life flows quietly, peacefully, on a rhythm unique to the Caribbean. However, in Gouyave, fishing is not the only source of income. Indeed, this small town is home to a big surprise: the nutmeg-producing cooperative, well protected behind very high walls. You will find yourself plunged in the middle of the 19th century: no conveyor belt, no machines; the long production line of this precious spice is exclusively entrusted to the hands and skilful fingers of the big-hearted "mammas". Expect to enter the kingdom of women! Humble and conscientious, the movements they perform day after day are the fruit of an ancestral - jealously guarded - tradition of nutmeg. Gestures that have enabled this cooperative to raise Grenada to the second rank of exporting nations.

      Finally, we will leave Gouyave to join the Dougaldston estate, another very rural place. Founded in 1700, this former cocoa plantation offers a complete palette of the island's spices and scents. On the way back, we will certainly make a small detour to admire the Concorde Falls and discover a completely original type of plantation... on the hillside!

    • Ecological hike to the Bamboo Falls :
    • Transport: minibus to the start of the hike
      Duration: about 4 hours
      Minimum 20 participants - Maximum 60 participants
      This moderate to sporty excursion is dedicated to hiking enthusiasts.

      Leaving St. George's, we will take the steep and winding road that leads to the top of the rainforest, a remarkable site at 550 meters above sea level.
      At this point you will have reached the Grand Etang forest reserve which spreads out around a crater lake. This natural environment represents a formidable environment for wildlife. In the wooded areas, you can still encounter, with a little luck, a dozen or so bands of Mona monkeys, a race originating from West Africa, introduced to Grenada a few centuries ago and probably arrived on the island with a cargo of slaves.

      The hike starts with the crossing of a private plantation of nutmeg, cocoa, bananas, mangoes, coconuts... and tropical flowers before entering the forest and walking to the falls. The condition of the trail can be muddy and slippery if the weather has previously been rainy, so it is imperative to bring suitable footwear that is not precious to you! On arrival at the falls, you will nevertheless be able to refresh yourself there.

      Saint-Vincent
    • The Garden of Eden :
    • Transport : air-conditioned minibus or coach
      Duration: about 3h30
      Minimum 7 participants - Maximum 60 participants

      The tour begins by crossing the island's capital, Kingstown, and its neighborhoods of colonial and modern architecture and then continues through the Mesopotamian Valley and its spectacular scenery. The Marriaqua Valley is often referred to as the "granary" of the island with its plots of banana, nutmeg, cocoa, breadfruit, coconut and leguminous plants. Your first stop is at the Montreal Garden, one of the two prettiest floral sites on the island. The garden offers a wide variety of tropical plants.
      In this tranquil, majestically arranged place, discover bougainvillea, frangipani, hibiscus, not to mention anthuriums with delicate flowers and glossy foliage. The garden also offers a special view of the surrounding farmland and the sea in the distance. After this visit, the crossing of the island continues through small villages where you will see workers working with machetes on the hillsides. Finally you will follow the picturesque Atlantic coast and discover superb panoramic views of the capital and the port.

      Bequia
      >li>Magic of the Bequia coast :Transport: by motorboat
      Duration: about 3 hours
      Minimum 15 participants - Maximum 30 participants

      Enjoy superb sailing along the coast of this exclusive island that is Bequia.
      You will be offered superb views: Moon hole, Semplers Cay, Middle Cay and Petit Nevis. You can swim in Petit Nevis with your fins, mask and snorkel and discover the beauty and activity of the underwater life. On the sandy beach "Princess Margaret" you can swim, sunbathe and have a drink at Jack's beach bar.
      On the way back you will sail along the Leeward Coast of Port Elizabeth in Admiralty Bay.

      Martinique
    • Garden of Balata :
    • Transport: by air-conditioned bus and on foot
      Duration: about 3 hours
      Minimum 15 participants - No maximum

      The gardens of Balata are the work of Jean-Philippe Thoze, horticulturist and landscape gardener, who has devoted 20 years of his life to developing his personal garden and gathering a splendid collection of plants, which has become a wonderful botanical park.
      You will walk under the trees, discovering at every bend in the path a profusion of plants and flowers, which have been subtly organized around an authentic Creole house that has been entirely renovated.
      After this visit, you will return to Fort de France by the Jesuit Trail, a road opened by the members of the congregation in the 18th century. This trail winds through giant bamboos, lianas and tree ferns. Back in Fort de France, a panoramic coach tour will allow you to discover the most characteristic monuments of Fort de France: Fort Saint-Louis, a 17th century military building of the Vauban type, with the Place de la Savane at its feet where majestic trees are enthroned : royal palms, "hat the bishop", tamarind trees, the statues of Belain d'Esnambuc and Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Schoelcher Library designed by the architect Henry Picq, a contemporary of Gustave Eiffel, classified as a historical monument in 1993 etc ....

      Saint-Lucia
    • La Soufrière - Natural attraction :
    • Transport : in air-conditioned minibus
      Duration: about 3 hours
      Minimum 10 participants - Maximum 80 participants

      A leisurely stroll through the village of Soufrière takes you to the central square and in front of the cathedral.
      Your first stop will be the Soufrière volcano, reputed to be the only volcano in the world accessible by car. This historic site is the result of volcanic eruptions that occurred some 300,000 years ago. As you arrive, you will notice the smell of sulfur. Enjoy the benefits of nature: sulphurous water has been proven to have many healing properties.
      The Botanical Gardens and Diamond Mineral Baths were made famous by Josephine de Beauharnais, Napoleon's first wife. The tropical plants beautifully arranged along the avenue will enchant you. Admire the beautiful waterfall with its changing colours and soak up every moment before returning to the bus.
      After a short ride, you can enjoy a refreshing drink at the Villa des Pitons restaurant. Get your cameras ready, as this is one of the most spectacular and photographed sites here! In front of you, as you drink a homemade rum or fruit punch under the veranda, the famous Soufrière Bay and its two peaks majestically projecting into the sea. A short drive will take you back to the pier where you will board the ship.
