This is the perfect introductory cruise for Caribbean newcomers. It offers a taste of everything you?d expect in the tropics. During the golden age of seafaring, European nations battled for their place in the sun, leaving cultural footprints wherever they landed. There?s evidence everywhere you look. The sleepy Dutch islands reveal a gold-mine of artifacts and legends for divers and history buffs ? The British colonies exude an air of relaxed sophistication amidst a tropical explosion of foliage and elegant architecture ? And only the French isles greet the day with croissants and espresso. Chic boutiques and caf?s line the avenue where the village baker sells warm baguettes for holiday-makers to whisk away on scooters. Geographically, the islands are as different as mangos and coconuts. Some are volcanic; bursting from the sea, their peaks are perpetually shrouded in clouds. Other islands are mountainous and smothered in rainforest; while Anguilla?s silken beaches barely rise above the waves.

Sint Maarten Tours & Excursions
You?re not seeing double, Sint Maarten/Saint Martin is home to two sovereign nations. The Dutch side offers water sports, gambling, and duty-free shopping. Cross the invisible border to the French side where you can dine at quaint bistros or leisurely stroll the beaches?averting your eyes if au naturel is not your style. Be active or simply let the jasmine breeze melt your cares away on this tropical island that?s twice-as-nice.

Antigua Tours & Excursions
With 365 idyllic beaches?one for each day of the year?Antigua is the water sports mecca of the Caribbean. Wind surfers, sailors, divers, and sun-seekers love this island of rolling hills and wide sweeping bays. You?ll feel the legacy of the British as you stroll along the boardwalk to Redcliffe Quay, a historic promenade of restored town homes and stone warehouses that have been converted into brightly painted cafes, shops, and restaurants. The Caribbean pulse is palpable everywhere.

Nevis Tours & Excursions
Almost completely circular, Nevis? green slopes rise in sweeping curves to the central and only summit. From a distance, Nevis looks like a snow-capped mountain, but it?s just clouds and mist hovering around Nevis Peak. Charlestown is a well-preserved village: plantation estates and eighteenth century buildings decorated with gingerbread trim tell the story of a bygone era. An interesting zoning law states that no buildings may be taller than the palm trees. We love that!

St. Barthelemy (St. Barths) Tours & Excursions
When touring this arid and hilly island, you might dine alfresco at a village cafe or at a beachside table for ?deux.? You?ll feel every bit the foreigner here as French is the lingua franca. Buzzing scooters topped with tanned twenty-somethings on their way to the beach look more like tourists at the French Riviera. And, at times, you?ll think you never left the Mother Country: French food, wine, fashion and all things imported (including rumbling Peugeots) grace the landscape. St. Barts is a quintessentially chi-chi, celebrity island?a totally different Caribbean experience.

St. Eustatius (Statia)
Between 1493 and 1700 Statia traded hands among rivaling European powers 22 times. The leeward coast is littered with hundreds of shipwrecks, and divers are still finding artifacts. Tiny Statia functioned as a Dutch trading post and was one of the richest ports in the Americas. The least known of the Dutch Windward trio, Statia is the sleeper. The main town of Oranjestad has a couple of oceanfront pubs and not much else?but therein lies its charm. Hikers have the unique opportunity of exploring the crater of an extinct volcano named The Quill.

St. Kitts Tours & Excursions
This is one of the last places in the world where the rainforest is expanding! Unlike other islands where traditional lifestyles have been stamped out by mass tourism, St. Kitts boasts a thriving West Indian culture. Her lush and forested slopes rise gracefully to mist-shrouded peaks. A worthwhile site for history buffs, the imposing 17th century fortress (Brimstone Hill) looms over green fields of sugar cane and banana trees. The capital, BasseTerre, is a bustling hub and interesting mish-mash of architectural styles.
