Day 1

Fly into St. Vincent in the Southern Grenadines. Board your yacht and enjoy beautiful views of the island and neighboring yachts. An afternoon swim is a perfect way to unwind after traveling.

Day 2

Diving the remote reefs off nearby Carriacou works up an appetite for your chef's dishes prepared using spices indigenous to Grenada -- nicknamed the Isle of Spice. Start off with pumpkin and callaloo soup, but save room for the local flavored ice cream.

Day 3

Like a tropical suburb of Paris, the 425-square-mile island of Martinique has a definite sense of style. View the staggering coastline between Fort-de-France and St. Pierre, the town once destroyed by Mont Pelee's eruption, enroute south to Le Marin.

Day 4

Take a trip inland to shop the boutiques in Fort-de-France, or visit the Casino Trois-Ilets. Join the scene at the circular bar near the infinity pool at Soitel Bakoua Coraliaic. Attend a performance of Les Grands Ballets de Martinique, one of the finest folkloric dance troupes in the Caribbean.

Day 5

Savor a leathal rum punch while lounging in a hot mineral bath in the Papillote Wilderness Retreat on Dominica. Don scuba gear and dive the world-renowned waters of Soufriere Scottshead Marine Reserve, site of a submerged volcano.

Day 6

The two largest islands in the Guadeloupe archipelago, Basse-Terre and Garnde-Terre, have richly varied topography thanks to the four-mile Riviere Salee that flows between them. Hike the excellent trails through the jungle highlands or bask on the white-sand beaches.

Day 7

Spot whales off the lunch west coast of Grande-Terre before heading ashore to Plage Caravelle just southwest of Ste. Anne, where the snorkeling is premium. Fly out of the St. Francois Airport.
