The merriment departs from San Juan, where a visit into the artsy neighbourhood of Santurce’s free-spirited creativity may have you seeing life from a new perspective. Anticipation builds as we call upon the Eden-like enclave of St. Kitts with its looming mountains and former English “Circus” modelled after London’s famed Piccadilly. Tonight, a gala dinner, midnight countdown and champagne toasts sets the stage for a memorable New Year’s night that leads to a lazy first day of 2024. Rise and shine in Le Marigot to sip Beaujolais in a French café or savour chocolate in a Dutch emporium. Slip over to Charlotte Amalie, formerly a pirate hideout for Bluebeard and Blackbeard, to admire the treasured Magen’s Bay. From the sensational to the sublime, we end in Miami Beach, where blindingly white beaches, a blazing hot nightlife are the perfect beginning to a New Year in “The Magic City.”

As the sun cools to peach, we set sail from beautiful Barbados and circle through the warm crystalline waters and sun-dappled sands of the Lesser Antilles, an island meandering from the mighty twin Pitons of St. Lucia to the mysterious crater lakes of St. Kitts and swaying masts of ultra-glam Gustavia in French-chic St. Barts. In Dominica, we find the intriguing Boiling Lake, a lush rainforest filled with living rarities and languid coves where shipwrecks scatter among thermal springs bubbling up from the ocean floor. We track further south to Gauguin’s Martinique, a Gallic-Caribbean meld of baguettes, petanque, and paradise beaches, and the spice island of Grenada, where the horseshoe of pastel-painted houses crown St. George’s the region’s prettiest harbor. Back to Bridgetown, shining bright like a diamond, with glorious gardens and emerald links.

Saint-Tropez invites the unrivaled glamour of the French Riviera alongside the cultural cachet of old-quarter Cannes or F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Cap d’Antibes before we launch to the extraordinary craggy beauty, azure waters, and pristine white-sand beaches of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.
