Silver Spirit: 7-Night Cruise from Bridgetown - December 5, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Bequia, Grenadines, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. A short walk from town leads to this beautiful beach with soft sand and clear water.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Spirit means a quicker disembarkation in Fort-de-France, Martinique - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. The central market is full of color, local produce, spices, and handmade goods.

Your ship arrives in Deshaies, Guadeloupe 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. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Grande Anse Beach is one of Guadeloupe's most beautiful stretches of sand, wide, golden, and backed by palm trees.

With 14 hours hours in Gustavia, St. Barts - from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. The harbor is scenic, filled with boats and reflections, while nearby streets offer boutiques and casual dining.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Spirit means a quicker disembarkation in Codrington, Barbuda - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Barbuda's beaches are the main reason people fall in love with the island.

Your ship arrives in Castries, St. Lucia at 9:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Several inviting beaches sit within a short drive of the port, offering soft sand and clear water backed by green hills.

Your ship overnights in Bridgetown, Barbados - a rare treat that means you can experience the destination after dark. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, explore the waterfront at night, or attend a cultural performance. In the morning, catch attractions before the next wave of ships arrives. For a glimpse of everyday life, visit Cheapside Market where locals shop for fruit, spices, and prepared foods.
