Welcome aboard for an unforgettable Caribbean exploration trip through the dreamlike world of the Leeward Islands. Impressive nature, sailing experiences in a sunny maritime climate and the culture of the colourful Caribbean islands make this trip a unique holiday experience. The azure blue ocean, palm-lined beaches and the incomparable flair of the "Caribbean way of life" will remain in your memory for a long time. The starting point of this journey is the butterfly-shaped "Emerald Island" of Guadeloupe, a paradise for nature lovers. The destination is a true Caribbean beauty: the island of Saint Martin, part of the Lesser Antilles archipelago. Stopovers with plenty of time for shore leave are planned in the island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis or around the islands of Anguilla and Saint Barthélemy, which are located along the route.

Trip information
This is where you board
For nature lovers, the butterfly-shaped "Emerald Island" of Guadeloupe is a green paradise. Here you can discover the largest national park in the Caribbean with the highest waterfalls in the Antilles, a treetop trail, mysterious mangrove forests and lush flora and fauna. From time to time, we can see the volcanic cone of La Soufrière, which is almost 1,500 metres high, from the deck of the Eye of the Wind. The colour palette of the sandy beaches ranges from the finest snow white to black volcanic sand. Guadeloupe is largely influenced by French, African, East Indian and West Indian cultures. This mixture is particularly evident in the architecture, which ranges from French colonial style to Hindu temples.

This is where you disembark
Princess Juliana International Airport is located in the Dutch southern half of the twin island Sint Maarten / Saint-Martin. A special feature of this Caribbean island paradise worth seeing can be found in the immediate vicinity: At the nearby Maho Beach the distance between the landing aircraft and the heads of the beach visitors (or the mastheads of the boats anchored there) is often only a few metres. The arrival times of the largest scheduled jets are announced daily on a chalkboard attached to a surfboard for amateur photographers. Between the airport and the nearby town of Marigot taxis or minibuses are available. The modern Fort Louis Marina lies in the French part of the colourful and lively Caribbean islandwhere the Euro is the official national currency.
