Part of the Windward Island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, the busy port of Bassterre eases along a sheltered bay surrounded by green hills and mountains, in a setting that's all Caribbean. Highlights of the town include Independence Square, the old section of town; the Circus, a main shopping district; and St. George's Anglican Church, built and rebuilt in the 300 years since its initial construction. The British and the French played keep-away with the island of St. Kitts in the 17th and 18th centuries, with the British ultimately controlling the island, its capital, Basseterre, and Fort Brimstone, the "Gibraltar of the West Indies", located on Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site of historical, cultural and architectural significance.

Castries is the sheltered harbor and capital of Saint Lucia, an island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea on the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. Saint Lucia is part of the Lesser Antilles.

Our stop at Bridgetown Barbados will reveal the British influence most directly in the historic old section of town, which has been singled out as aUNESCO World Heritage Site. Among other highlights, take a visi at the Barbados Museum and the Careenage district, with its bars and restaurants. While in Barbados, you will see various remnants and influences of the English settlerswho arrived in what is now Bridgetown in 1628: Cricket is the national sport, afternoon tea is 
a given, and motorists hug left. Before leaving, you can visit a rum distillery or take a tour to Bathsheba Pools.

Philipsburg is the capital of the Dutch section of the island Saint Maarten, which, geographically 60% percent French and 40% Dutch.

This Caribbean gem lies between clear Caribbean Sea and the Great Salt Pond, on a gentle arc of land with a saltwater lake to the north and a bay to the south.  There is an esplanade running alongside a white sand beach, giving you the opportunity to choose either shopping or sunning. You can do exciting shopping at the duty-free boutiques of Front Street, one of the great shopping avenues of the Caribbean and search the quaint clothes boutiques or browse for duty-free bargains. Outside town, you can choose from one of the island's nearly 40 beaches, such as Mullet Bay, which is one of the nicest. 

St. Thomas's coastline is an endless succession of sandy crescents and protected coves. Start your tour from the main town, Charlotte Amalie and then hit the beaches: Magen's Bay, just on the other side of the island from the main town, Hull Bay, ideal for surfing in winter, Brewer's Bay, for idyllic sunsets or Coki Beach for snorkeling. The highest viewpoint can be reached by aerial tram and it’s called Paradise Point, from which you can get a great view of Charlotte Amalie. For duty-free shopping, there are dozens of stores downtown, ranging from the upscale Yacht Haven Grande to the eclectic Vendor's Plaza, an outdoor marketplace next to Fort Christian and the Legislature building, just at the edge of downtown Charlotte Amalie.
