Beaches of the Virgin Islands

Your Caribbean voyage begins in San Juan, Puerto Ricos historic capital and oldest European-founded city in the Americas.  From here, you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on your unforgettable discovery of the spectacular Virgin Islands. Please book your flight to arrive into San Juan prior to 05:00 PM.

The quaint Puerto Rican coastal town of Esperanza reveals gorgeous beaches and a lovely waterfront and a bustling strip of restaurants, bars, and guesthouses. Stroll along the boulevard and visit the various establishments, immersing yourself in the fascinating local culture and activities on offer. Like the locals, enjoy spending the afternoon relaxing at Sun Bay, the main urban beach located in the town’s eastern outskirts.

Welcome to Cruz Bay, the economic and social hub of St. John, the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands scattered across the Caribbean Sea. Here, a busy inter-island ferry dock connects with the other beautiful islands in the region. The bustling bay is dotted with restaurants and boutique stores, while  striking Caribbean architecture in Mongoose Junction can be admired on a leisurely stroll through town.

Today, you’ll arrive in Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of all four main islands comprising the British Virgin Islands, covering approximately eight-square kilometres (three-square miles). Known as ‘The Last Virgin Island’, White Bay Beach on Jost Van Dyke is notable for its rugged rocky scenery and colourful local culture. This pretty bay offers one of the loveliest beaches by far to relax on and soak up the marvellous Caribbean views.

The island of Virgin Gorda, named after its resemblance to a reclining woman, is part of the stunning British Virgin Islands and popular for its laid-back pace and picturesque landscapes. Among the incredible natural wonders of Virgin Gorda, The Baths are arguably the most famous,a series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders, formed by volcanic eruptions.
