Escape the cold and celebrate winter in the sun-drenched Caribbean. Dive the impossibly blue waters of Bonaire, be serenaded by exotic birdsong in the rainforests of St. Kitts or let the heady scent of frangipani ease you into tranquility in St. Barths. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection voyages to the Caribbean help ring in any new year — or winter holiday — in unforgettable fashion. 

This action-packed, seven-night voyage begins in the southern Caribbean. First stop: Aruba. Snorkel, dive or windsurf the island’s aquamarine waters, trek the rugged coastline of Arikok National Park and dine on creative fusion cuisine in the colorful capital, Oranjestad. On Curaçao, beach hop the island’s 30-plus stretches of sand then head to diving-mecca Bonaire and take in its Techni-color reefs and vibrant marine life. As you sail north, you’ll be treated to sensational cuisine in the legendary spice isle of Grenada, where nutmeg perfumes the air, trek through lush rainforest in St. Lucia and toast the sunset at the famous beach bars of Barbados.

Relax aboard Evrima as you spend the week island-hopping. After shopping the upscale boutiques and designer galleries in Gustavia, enjoy time to relax on Antigua’s pristine beaches. The lush beauty of Martinique inspired its “Isle of Flowers” moniker, while Canouan’s extensive coral reef is home to vibrant sea life. 

Get in touch with your wild side in Dominica, where you can dip in the Emerald Pool under a 40-foot waterfall, and St. Lucia, where you’ll immerse yourself in natural hot springs or hike the island’s iconic Pitons. When the yacht anchors in Canouan, one of the Grenadines’ most exclusive retreats, soak in the sun on the sugary beaches or tackle the tropical trails of Mount Royal. 

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s superyacht, Ilma, sails an irresistible itinerary from Florida to Puerto Rico, first dropping anchor off San Salvador, Bahamas, to snorkel and dive amidst coral gardens and ancient shipwrecks. Onward to the talcum shores of Grand Turk and golden sands of Puerta Plata in the Dominican Republic, where the intrepid can hike through rugged, thick forest to the 27 Charcos de Damajagua, a series of waterfalls with natural chutes and cliff jumps. Crave more adventure? Visit clifftop ruins and dramatic geological formations in Virgin Gorda.

Revel in the culture and nature of the Caribbean on this week-long voyage that takes you from the UNESCO-designated fortresses and renowned beaches of San Juan to the towering peaks of St. Lucia’s Pitons. St. John boasts more than 10 acres of unspoiled coastline thanks to the Virgin Islands National Park, while St. Barthélemy promises a chic mix of designer boutiques, galleries, and fine restaurants serving elevated French-Caribbean cuisine. The sea caverns created by the granite rock formations on Virgin Gorda’s shores can only be reached on foot. Your efforts will be rewarded with spectacular grottoes, arches and massive tidal pools where you can cool off with a dip.

Start your eight-night sailing with a weekend in Cartagena, Colombia, where you’ll see the colonial architecture of the UNESCO-designated Old Town by day and the artist studios and eclectic nightlife of the Getsemani district by night. Then hike the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains in Santa Marta before continuing to the tropical paradise of Curaçao to visit the acclaimed Curaçao Maritime Museum and see the prehistoric art inside the Hato Caves. Afterward, it’s onward to dive and snorkel the protected reefs of Bonaire. The sailing concludes back in idyllic Aruba, where a new generation of chefs have created an exciting culinary scene that showcases fresh, local ingredients at spots like Fisherman’s Hut and Opus Ocean & Grill Aruba.
