Trunk Bay is one of the most famous beaches in the Caribbean and sits a short drive from Cruz Bay.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Shadow means a quicker disembarkation in Gustavia, St. Barts - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Your ship arrives in Codrington, Barbuda at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.
