of the Caribbean
The Caribbean draws you in in ways hard to resist. A tropical paradise with white-sand beaches, luscious greenery, cascading waterfalls, and beautiful sunshine awaits as you hop from island to island. And, with Emerald Cruises, you’ll see the very best of each exciting port of call from your luxury yacht.
British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands is a breathtaking Caribbean paradise, a mosaic of over 60 enchanting islands and a melting pot of European, Asian, and African influences. Renowned for its pristine beaches, clear waters, and vibrant marine life, immerse yourself in adventure, while adopting the laid-back pace of life of Virgin Gorda, and be enthralled by the pirate lore and stunning coral reefs of Norman Island as you sail through turquoise seas, explore hidden coves, and bask in the serene beauty.
US Virgin Islands
Comprising the islands of Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix – each of the US Virgin Islands possesses its own unique identity shaped by history and nature. Saint John, mostly protected as Virgin Islands National Park, offers lush hiking trails, historic ruins, and Trunk Bay’s famous snorkelling trail. Saint Thomas features a bustling port and Magens Bay, often listed among the world’s most beautiful beaches, and Saint Croix, the largest island, boasts diverse landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, with highlights including Christiansted and Frederiksted, famed for its sunsets.
Saint Vincent & the Grenadines
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a captivating Caribbean nation, comprising the main island of Saint Vincent and a chain of smaller islands and cays, including Mustique and Bequia – a secluded haven almost completely untouched by tourism. Lose yourself in the beauty of Tobago Cays, its waters brimming with turtles, fish, and colourful reefs, perfect for diving.
Saint Barthélemy
Saint Barthélemy, or Saint Barths, is a French Caribbean gem celebrated for its chic allure and natural beauty.
This tiny island boasts pristine white-sand beaches, upscale boutiques, and gourmet dining against a backdrop of lush hillsides. Renowned for its luxury yachts and vibrant nightlife, Saint Barths seamlessly blends sophistication with laid-back Caribbean charm, offering a haven for discerning travellers seeking relaxation and exclusivity in a picturesque setting.
Saint Lucia
The Pitons of Saint Lucia have become an icon of the Caribbean; an awe-inspiring, picture-perfect landmark of twin volcanic peaks, rising from the sea. The original capital of the island – Soufrière – is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, famed for its mud baths and sulphur springs, providing nature’s ultimate pampering session.
Lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and stunning beaches such as Anse Chastanet and Reduit Beach offer diverse natural beauty, while luxurious resorts, world-class diving spots and rich culture and history create an enticing destination for intrepid explorers.
Saint Martin
Part of the Leeward Islands, Saint Martin is a captivating Caribbean island consisting of two nations – French (Saint Martin) in the north, and Dutch (Sint Maarten) in the south. The French capital, Marigot, is home to Fort Louis and Galisbay beach, along with incredible places such as the Pic Paradis, Orient Bay or the Anse Marcel.
On Sint Maarten, the capital, Philipsburg, is a shopper’s paradise while a scenic coastal drive to stunning Maho Beach is great for soaking up the sun, with a side of plane-spotting.
