Itinerary

• Praia da Vitória, Azores... be sure to visit the former capital's charming historic quarter. Admire its beautiful natural harbour and 16th-century fort.
• Bridgetown, Barbados... swim in some of the clearest waters in the Caribbean, then tour fascinating historic sights. 
• Kingstown, St Vincent... visit the Botanical Gardens or go on a hike up the island's volcano.
• Castries, St Lucia... drop anchor at this island cloaked in verdant greenery. It "wears its breathtaking beauty with nonchalance", says Lonely Planet.
• Fort-de-France, Martinique... this neat and colourful town is home to a memorial of Josephine, Napoleon's first wife, who was born on the island, and a replica of the Parisian Sacre Coeur.
• Roseau, Dominica... visit Roseau's Old Market to haggle for souvenirs or uncover the island's natural beauty with a trip to the botanical gardens.
• Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe... effortlessly combines French flair with Caribbean vibes. Take a trip to Grande-Terre for its golden sands and lively atmosphere. 
• Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic... chill out with a mojito in hand under swaying palms, and soak up Latin vibes on the island known as Hispaniola.
• Ocho Rios, Jamaica... the port is right outside the main town. Explore the town, or head further afield to huge beaches, caves, and waterfalls. The 600-foot Dunn's River waterfall is a favourite.
• Montego Bay, Jamaica... laze on the picturesque Doctor's Cave beach, or tuck into jerk chicken on the 'Hip Strip' shopping street. 
• Tortola, British Virgin Islands... this is the largest of the British Virgin Islands. Snack on street foods sold on Main Street and savour authentic Caribbean rum.
• Philipsburg, St Maarten... the island of St Maarten is both Dutch and French owned. Philipsburg sits on the Dutch side. Enjoy world-class shopping, admire historic buildings, and bask in the sun.
• Basseterre, St Kitts & Nevis... wander the perfectly preserved Georgian squares, or take a rail journey inland to see the island's rich countryside.
• St. John's, Antigua... roam the city's colourful markets and brilliant beaches. Sample Antiguan cuisine at the many seaside eateries.
• Ponta Delgada, Azores... discover a real island paradise full of volcanoes, calderas, and impossibly blue lakes.
