Valiant Lady

Remember when the Barbados train traveled around the island? Of course you don't — it was nearly 100 years ago. With abandoned tracks frozen in time, embark on this unique opportunity to walk through the footsteps of history. On the eastern Atlantic side of the island, you'll take the path less traveled — seriously, few visitors know this exists — over rugged terrain, riverbeds, and inland bridges, take in the sites, plus breathtaking ocean views, seen from hidden haunts inside the island.

Work together with a captain and crew and see what happens when things start getting reel — reeled in. Enjoy your day trolling the sea in the wild, where you’ll get the chance to learn some clever tricks from a seasoned crew. Whether you’re a novice or hardcore fisher, your time on the water may teach you how to feed yourself — for a lifetime.

If you're looking for a day at the beach for some much-needed Vitamin Sea — we've got you. A ride through Bridgetown's colorful capital will take you over to the coast, where you'll hit the shores of Carlisle Bay. In a section reserved exclusively for Virgin Voyages' Sailors, grab a sun lounger, take a dip, and park yourself beside the turquoise waves while sipping on a refreshing bevvie. This half-day getaway is yours to do as much as you want — even if that means nothing at all.

Some beaches are famous, others are forbidden, and by hitting up these off-the-beaten-path beachside escapes, you’ll find secret enclaves that often remain hidden. With a local guide, you’ll navigate camouflaged trails that give way to pristine beaches few visitors get to see due to their undisclosed confines and enjoy swimming, exploring, and taking in the deserted-island feel of these sheltered coastal quarters. While not easy to find, the reward will pay off.

Sprawling gardens, old-timey mahogany furniture, and treasured antiques — these are the grounds you’ll get to explore at The Sunbury House. A former plantation built by an early European settler, this is one of the only estates in the Caribbean whose many rooms are available to be viewed by the public. Learn about the incredible history of Barbados and the estate while enjoying High Tea, and wander the halls, gardens, and rooms that have been immaculately preserved for 300+ years.

Explore some of Barbados’ most legendary sites dating to the 1600s — where an aura of divination and mystery are often felt wandering the historic grounds. St. James Church houses incredible artifacts within its stunning limestone walls, such as its original bell, stained glass windows, and the outside tombs. You’ll also visit the Sunbury Plantation House for a rum demonstration and to wander the grounds (and rooms) of one of the only estates in the Caribbean open to the public for viewing.

Rum is synonymous with the Caribbean, so visit a few sweet spots for all the savory info about its most exceptional export. Head to Barbados' lively watering holes, where local mixologists concoct a collection of rum drinks to highlight the different tastes, flavors, and textures of their finest selections. With incredible countryside vistas (and an assortment of infusions), you'll enjoy a half-day of countryside beauty, enlivened by the vivacious spirit of this significant island staple.

Wander the grounds of a local garden — scratch that, a tropical oasis — offering a vibrant collection of plants, herbs, flowers, and species that transform this zen-like space into an outdoor, utopian temple. Once you’ve reset your mind with an array of flora and fauna varietals, take your mindfulness mood up one more notch as you spend some free time relaxing along the picture-perfect shores of a nearby beach.

Rum helped shape the heritage of each Caribbean island — it altered the lives of the natives, the European and African settlers, and resulted in the early history of the colonized Americas. Take a deeper look into the Bajan culture on the grounds of St. Nicholas Abbey — a sprawling Jacobean mansion that produces one of the island’s top rums. You’ll sample hors d’oeuvres and rum produced on-site and learn about the colorful past and the results of this golden age of exploration.

Get immersed in the Bajan culture over at Gun Hill. Once a British signaling station, this historic park has taken a queue from its British heritage with a perfectly landscaped path guiding you to a great lookout point. Inland you’ll feel a zen-like aura take over through a variety of flora and fauna in a tropical garden paradise. For some vintage inspiration, hop over to St. John’s — a Gothic-style church containing a collection of significant relics that survived both a fire and a hurricane.

History will unfold in the Basseterre capital with colonial buildings dating back to the 1600s and the incredible war memorial cenotaph. Wander Romney Manor’s stunning botanical gardens and the Brimstone Hill Fortress, where aside from the picture-perfect views, the fort itself is pretty impressive. You’ll also visit a few different areas showcasing the remarkable stretch of land separating the Atlantic and Caribbean waters. A guide will be on hand to provide information at each amazing stop.

Ride the waves over to Nevis, where historic homes, churches, and tropical splendor can be witnessed cruising in a catamaran — and with a drink (or two) in hand. Back on St. Kitts, wander the ruins of a former sugar plantation and rum distillery on the grounds of the 1600s Wingfield Estate. You’ll be transported to the top of the world (well, this island’s world) to a lookout point where the romantic tale of When the Caribbean Met the Atlantic unfolds before your eyes.

See where the Atlantic and Caribbean waters come together on top of the island, then explore wildlife below the waves when you kayak and snorkel St. Kitts' captivating coast. A guide will be on hand to navigate the waters while you paddle along the island's peninsula. Stopping by a secluded cove, grab your snorkel gear to check out the species living beneath the turquoise waters. After paddling back to the beach, help yourself to some seasonal fruits and cold refreshments.

Journey to Kittitian Hill Resort for a luxurious villa experience. After a scenic drive through St. Kitts, unwind in a villa with stunning views, modern amenities, and an infinity pool. Savor gourmet meals prepared by a private chef, using locally sourced ingredients. Explore the resort's lush rainforest, relax by the pool, or venture into the surrounding mountains. This exclusive retreat blends comfort, culinary delights, and natural beauty for a serene and indulgent experience.

What can only be described as a dinghy-meets-jet-ski, hit the waves in a mini speedboat. A guide will go over a safety briefing, outfit you with a safety vest, and bam — skim the water and feel the rush as you take in the stunning island sights, making your way to a secluded cove. Grab your snorkel gear and splash down, discovering local wild species on their turf. On another exciting ride, head back to the beach and when you hop off, help yourself to some seasonal fruits and cold bevvies.

Outdoor and hiking enthusiasts unite on a day of exploration and discovery on the slopes of Mount Liamuiga — a 3,000ft volcano. Your trail takes you through rugged terrain, lush forests, breathtaking wildflowers, and swinging vines from overhead canopies. And your destination — the base of the volcanic crater only 700ft below the rim, is where you’ll be rewarded with unparalleled views and an infinite sense of achievement.

Explore Nevis's allure on a journey blending history with mixology. Start with a water taxi ride from St. Kitts and visit Alexander Hamilton's birthplace. Traverse scenic landscapes to Golden Rock Plantation's Botanical Garden for a signature rum punch. Relish unique cocktails and hor d'oeuvres at Hermitage, Sunshine Beach Bar, and Lime Beach Bar. Immerse in the island's culture and flavors, enjoying cocktails like the famous killer bee and Nevis Peak rum punch.

Sit back and take in the glorious views on a boat ride to Pinney's Beach on the island of Nevis. A guide will take you on a moderate trail that ascends the slopes of a rainforest, home to a variety of wild species, including vervet monkeys. After working up a sweat (and appetite), descend onto the beach's golden shores, where a seaside lunch from the beach's resort will be provided. Cool off in the shallow turquoise waters, and grab a sun lounger — you deserve this moment of Caribbean bliss.

Head through the historic capital of Basseterre for a combination of colonial-era English and French architecture and that colorful island flair. You'll see where the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are separated by a narrow section of volcanic mountains in Frigate Bay, get a glimpse of the black sand beaches of Bay Road, and travel to the island's highest viewpoint on Timothy Hill — the most popular photo stop due to its incredible vistas and what bucket list vision boards are made of.

Feel the romance of train travel as you take a panoramic journey across St. Kitts on the same tracks once used to transport sugarcane. With some tropical cocktails in hand, see the entire island as you ride the rails through rustic villages, deep canyons, and island farms. Pass by an abandoned sugar plantation that is now interwoven within its natural surroundings and volcanic peaks that tower above the island’s electric blue waters.

With a captain at the helm, make waves across glistening waters, taking in the island's astonishing scenery and getting *the* shot along the way. You'll sail over fantastic seascapes, and your captain will drop anchor for you to swim and snorkel with the local marine life. An onboard crew will provide snorkel gear and snacks and keep your drink glasses full while you immerse yourself in the incredible Caribbean surroundings on your half-say at sea.

You’ll be transported to St. Mary’s Biosphere to get outfitted with your bike and gear, then head out into a fascinating corner of the Caribbean.

There will be a stop for some refreshments and plenty of opportunities to capture a range of extraordinary biodiversity along your bike route.

Aboard a catamaran, take in the sloping volcanic hills plunging over the island’s edge. In a prime location, the captain will drop anchor so you can observe marine life in their natural environment — swimming and snorkeling alongside so that it becomes yours as well. Drinks and lunch will be available on board, and there will be free time for you to disembark and explore nearby Pinney’s Beach. Snorkel in the shallows, roam the shore, or check out the beach hubs before you sail some more.

Discover the incredible aquatic world of St. Kitts. Head to a local dive shop where you’ll meet your divemaster, go over safety procedures, and get outfitted with dive equipment. Next, you’ll board a dive boat, then make your way out to sea to explore the subterranean world of the local reef. Your divemaster will pick out some epic dive sites known for tropical fish, ray, and turtle spottings. This is a two-tank dive, and you may participate in both or relax topside and enjoy the sun after one.

Gear up for an adrenaline-fueled ATV adventure across the diverse terrains of St. Kitts. This journey starts with a transfer to the ATV base, where an orientation ensures a safe and exhilarating experience.

Post-adventure, relax with a refreshing drink and seasonal fruits before heading back to the ship.

Get in your culture fix by fixing up a multi-course meal. After a scenic drive to one of the island's top culinary destinations, you'll find a local chef and a team of Kittitian kitchen gurus ready to invite you into their world of local flavors. Grab an apron and head over to a cooking station to chop, mix, blend, and whisk up your ingredients. When everything is ready, enjoy a family-style meal with your new Kittitian comrades, then take a ride up to Timothy Hill for a beautiful photo op.

Drive into some of the coast’s rural areas, including communities that thrive along the foothills of a dormant volcano. You’ll visit a small farm whose rich volcanic soil is making waves (on land) with its eco-ethical growing practices. On an expansive sustainable farm, roam (some) of the grounds that produce acres of tropical fruit trees and a greenhouse of extensive botanicals. You’ll also get to explore the ruins of a former 1600s sugar plantation at the legendary Wingfield Estate.

With a dramatic backdrop along the islands' winding roads, a guide will take you along a volcanic trail with a view of Gros Piton, passing by medicinal plants, herbs, exotic fruits, and some serious photo ops from every angle. After your hike, you'll get acquainted with another novelty perfected by the region's tropical local — chocolate. You'll witness the different production stages, take in the aroma of cocoa filling the air and taste the final result for a delicious ending.

Some say it's a science, others say it's heaven on earth, and others say nothing — they let the taste speak for itself. Witness the process of turning cocoa seeds into a refined product that has been keeping the world smiling for centuries. You'll travel down to Soufrière, where your chocolate caper begins. View each stage of the recipe's transformation, resulting in your own personalized chocolate concoction to take back home — no judgment if "home" ends up being the ship.

When it comes to finding the best bars and beaches, it's best to have a local show you the way — and with a trio of resident Lucians amping up the energy and keeping the drinks flowing, you'll get to different beach bar destinations, each with its own atmosphere and music selection. Give in to those vacation vibes with a drink in hand, an enlivening soundtrack, and golden shores with bursts of gem-toned colored waves for the perfect backdrop.

You’ll begin at the stables, where a guide will go over a safety briefing and then outfit you with a saddle, helmet, and your four-legged riding partner. A leisurely ride will take you to the glassy waters of Cas En Bas, where the sandy shores give way to color-changing hues. Take a break to swim and walk with your horse by the waves. Make sure to bring a camera to get *the* shot of you with your travel companion — or with a two-legged partner accompanying you.


Enjoy a fun, eco-friendly way to unearth the best sites on the island with a guide to show you some of the most popular sites and a few hidden finds.

By Jeep, bike, and on foot, it’s ok to keep moving (kinda) fast to go chasin’ this waterfall. Drive past banana plantations into the countryside’s emerald greenery, then to the fishing village of Anse La Raye. There, you’ll hop on a bike to venture into a lush forest trail, passing native fauna, a gurgling river, then reaching a wondrous waterfall. Afterward, you’ll have some free time to take in the village sights before your Jeep and driver take you back to the ship.

Head to Rodney Bay toward the north of St. Lucia to meet your Captain and Crew, and find a racing vessel ready to ride the waves with you. They will show you the ropes (err…lines?) and teach you sailing basics so that you can help steer the vessel over the jewel-toned waters of the bay, and transform “sailing” into a mindset where a combination of wind, sea, and your own determination is what propels you to experience the beauty of the natural world.

Gros and Petit Pitons are dormant volcanic peaks plunging out of a coral reef in the gem-toned waters below.

Inland, you'll get aerial views of the island's rainforest and a network of volcanic hot springs.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided to recharge before heading back on your kayak.

On a journey to Soufrière, you'll witness the majestic Pitons commanding the coast while heading into Diamond Botanical Gardens. The rich, volcanic soil has cultivated flora, fauna, and medicinal herbs, which have been said to contribute to the healing powers within the warm, mineral baths. You are welcome to explore the exotic plants within the garden, including its coveted waterfall. Enjoy lunch on the patio of a local restaurant — that mellow mindset going strong dining amongst the Pitons.

There are plenty of ways to stay active or actively do nothing in Pigeon Island National Park. Explore as much as you want or park yourself beachside for maximum relaxation.

And lunch will be served while the magnanimous Pitons serve up some serious backdrop goals.

Set sail over the splendor of St. Lucia's waves aboard a catamaran, taking you around the stunning scenery of the island's western shores. Your captain will choose two different areas to drop anchor so you can swim, snorkel, and stand-up paddleboard (weather permitting) while enjoying St. Lucia's incredible aquatic wonders.
