Setting sail from Oranjestad
The tiny Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, located just off the coast of Venezuela, lies outside of the hurricane belt, meaning it enjoys a largely dry climate, and boasts some of the best beaches in the region, if not the world. The capital, Oranjestad, is home to some appealing colonial architecture and plenty of shops, but it's the fine white sands of the northwest coast that attract most visitors to the island. To the east, the protected Arikok National Park is home to some interesting flora and fauna, as well as caves, sand dunes and ancient Arawak petroglyphs.
Don't miss
Nearly 20% of the island is natural park – stunning natural beauty both above and below the waterline. Don’t miss the ‘Conchi’ - the famed Natural Pool in Arikok National Park.
2 February
Curaçao: Willemstad
The gabled houses of Willemstad lend an undeniably Dutch feel to the capital of little Curaçao, with a splash of Caribbean colour thrown in. The island itself is not your typical lush tropical paradise - the landscape is characterised instead by thorny shrubs and cacti - but there are some fantastic beaches and quaint little villages.

Saint Lucia: Soufrière
Soufrière is Saint Lucia’s oldest city, founded by the French in 1746 in the stunning south of the island. Nearby natural wonders include the iconic Piton mountains, the Diamond Botanical Gardens and the world’s only drive-in volcano, where you can soak in the restorative sulphur springs.
5 February
Martinique: Anse Mitan
Anse Mitan is the main beach in Trois-Îlets, a picturesque spot with a handful of shops and restaurants. Nearby points of interest include La Pagerie, the birthplace and childhood home of Joséphine Bonaparte, and you can catch a ferry across the bay to Martinique’s bustling capital, Fort-de-France.
6 February
Guadeloupe: Terre-de-Haut (Iles des Saintes)
Eight tiny islands make up the Iles des Saintes, a sparsely inhabited archipelago off the southern coast of Guadeloupe. The most interesting island is hilly Terre-de-Haut, almost entirely populated by the fair-skinned descendants of Breton sailors and home to a beautiful bay reminiscent of a mini Rio de Janeiro.

Arriving in Philipsburg
Philipsburg is the gateway to an intriguing little Caribbean island with a dual personality: the Dutch side, St. Maarten, is the livelier of the two, with shopping malls, casinos and more of a nightlife scene, while French-speaking St. Martin is a more refined (and more expensive) affair, with a laid-back, continental air and a host of exclusive resorts and restaurants. Travelling between the two halves of the island is hassle-free, and both sides boast beautiful beaches, friendly locals and pleasant little towns and villages.
Our tip
For a change of pace, go to Loterie Farm at the foot of Pic Paradis, the highest point on Saint Martin, where you can cool off, see the wildlife and rent a cabana for a day of swimming in the cascades.
Your home from home
Four Seasons I is the first ship from brand-new cruise line Four Seasons Yachts, launching at the start of 2026, and will aim to showcase the same high-spec accommodation, exceptional service and fabulous dining options as the iconic hotel chain in its 95 suites.
What we love
Four Seasons I will have just 95 all-terrace suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, plus onboard facilities including 11 dining and lounge venues, spa and fitness centre, transverse marina with water toys that unfolds on both sides, and one of the largest swimming pools in the industry (20 metres) with a canoe-shaped aft deck that can be raised for special celebrations.
