MSC Cruises

MSC Virtuosa

Your tour guide greets you on your bus for a panoramic drive to the south-east peninsula, on the way to your kayaking destination stop to capture a stunning glimpse of the Atlantic seas and Caribbean ocean colliding in real time at Timothy Hill. Arrive at your launch point where a safety briefing will be given by your guide, gear up and embark your two-man kayak as you paddle along the protective coastline taking in the breath-taking sceneries of the unspoiled views in the background. Then stop in a secluded cove for your snorkelling experience, cool off as you submerge yourself in the crystal clear turquoise waters for a refreshing snorkel adventure, lose yourself in the untouched beauty of the Caribbean ocean as you find yourself surrounded by colourful fish and corals nestled at the bottom of the ocean floor in their natural formation. After snorkelling re-board your kayak and paddle towards your original departure point where a light refreshment awaits you, after which your bus awaits to take you back to the cruise ship port.

Suitable for people of (almost) all ages and a real eye-opener, this entertaining Dolphin Encounter tour will see you interact with lovable bottlenose dolphins in their natural environment, the clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. Once you arrive at the Dolphin Discovery centre, youll be met by a certified  and knowledgeable  dolphin trainer who will share facts about these highly sociable creatures with you. Then youll take to the water and begin your encounter, benefiting from the dolphins naturally playful nature. After enjoying a hug, a flipper shake, a song, a dance, a kiss and numerous tricks that the dolphins will perform for you, youll have a chance to purchase professional photos taken of your time in the water  a great way to take home memories for your friends to see. The tour then wraps up with your return transport to Basseterre and your ship. Please note: the tour is open to women who are less than 5 months pregnant provided they are accompanied by another paying guest. Women who are more than 5 months pregnant are not allowed to participate in this tour. Guests must be at least 1 year of age and 61 cm/2 ft. in height to take part. Children younger than 12 years of age must be accompanied by a paying adult throughout the tour and be under their supervision at all times. Guests must be capable of navigating stairs to access the Dolphinarium. Cameras are prohibited during the interaction, but photos of your interaction will be available for purchase afterwards. Guests are required to wear a life jacket (mandatory). Lockers, showers and dressing rooms are available at no additional cost. The tour is considered to be unsuitable for guests with asthma. Guests are advised to leave jewellery and other valuables on board the ship. Guests are recommended to wear swimwear under comfortable clothing, biodegradable sunscreen (for the sake of the environment) and to bring a towel and cash/credit card for additional purchases. All participating guests will be required to sign a waiver which may only be available in English.

Once youve stepped off the ship and boarded a specially customised photo safari jeep, you can simply sit back and begin to enjoy Antigua and its delightfully verdant landscape. This off-road exploration will first take you south of St. Johns en route to the village of Bendals and the ecologically important Body Pond watershed area. Look out for amazing tropical flora and agricultural plantations as you travel through the off-road reaches of the scenic valley. From the village of Swetes, the tour then continues on through lush rainforest, with mango trees and pineapple plants all around, to the southern coast and Old Road Village for refreshments. This was the first western settlement on the island, established in 1632 by the British naval explorer Captain Thomas Warner. Have your camera ready to take some stunning photos of the gorgeous coastline and Caribbean Sea before you head off again along the islands southern coast en route to a heavenly beach and a refreshing dip in the azure-blue waters. Your return journey will take you to see more of Antiguas picturesque villages and stunning landscape  with further opportunities to take fabulous photos along the way. The tour ends with your return to the port and your ship. Please note: the tour is considered to be unsuitable for pregnant women and guests suffering from pre-existing neck/back conditions. This is not a self-drive tour; a driver will be provided.

See the scenic sights of St. Kitts in the most leisurely way possible, first on board a narrow-gauge train the Last Railway in the West Indies  and then on a catamaran. The St. Kitts Scenic Railway has been showing visitors the island since 2003, but before that enjoyed an almost 100-year career as the means by which sugarcane was transported from the fields to the sugar mill in Basseterre. But this is no ordinary narrow-gauge train, since it features a second open-sided observation deck from which youll be enjoying breezy island views all along the route. Unlimited complimentary beverages are served during the ride and your guide will provide information on the former sugar estates, abandoned windmills and chimneys youll pass on the way. Further points of interest included on the ride are the first British and French settlements in the Caribbean, places where native tribes once lived and the 17th-/18th-century Brimstone Hill Fortress, along with numerous others. At the end of your train ride, youll be transferred to the marina to board the catamaran for your coastal cruise. Youll be sailing along the storied western coast of the island, with gorgeous views and a complimentary open bar to entertain you as you go. Your tour comes to an end with your return to the ship. Please note: the order in which the tour is run may be reversed. Guests are recommended to wear comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes.

This entertaining outing will see you board a catamaran and set sail for the southern tip of Basseterre and the site of your deep-water snorkelling experience: Shitten Bay. As you sail along the islands leeward coastline, youll also pass Frigate and Friars Bays before you reach your destination. Accessible only by sea, the secluded Shitten Bay supports a huge variety of marine wildlife, including several species of reef-dwelling fish and lovely coral formations. You can choose whether to simply relax on the spacious catamaran, or instead take to the water for a refreshing dip or to discover the underwater bounty during a spot of snorkelling. The crew will be able to provide snorkelling instruction for novices and on the way back, rum punch, soft drinks, beer and other beverages will be served to round off your outing and complement the lovely views. Your return to the ship brings the tour to a close. Please note: snorkel gear will be provided. Underwater visibility may be reduced due to sudden unforeseen changes in sea conditions. Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a paying adult to snorkel. Alcoholic beverages will only be served after the snorkelling portion of the tour. All participating guests who enter the water must wear a life jacket or swim vest (provided). Participating guests must be able to climb a boarding ladder in order to enter/exit the water. The tour is considered to be unsuitable for guests with mobility problems, neck or back problems and/or a heart condition. Pregnant women are requested to exercise caution. Since the tour is of an active nature, participating guests are required to be reasonably fit.

On leaving the port you will travel through Basseterre to the tourist and residential resort area of Frigate Bay.

Harrison's Cave is a magnificent natural phenomenon, quite in a class of its own. Formed from a particularly beautiful type of crystallized limestone, this stunning cavern is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the entire Caribbean. Though created over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, Harrison's Cave has only been accessible to the general public for some 15 years.

After checking in at the Visitors Center, you will be taken into a theatre where you will watch a short film on the formation of Barbados. Then you will board the electric tram that will take you down into the cave. As the driver pulls away, your guide will commence her commentary and you are on your way to a memorable experience - magnificent chambers, incredible stalactites and stalagmites, bubbling streams, tumbling cascades, plunging waterfalls and emerald pools. Throughout the almost mile long cave the flowstone covered walls glisten in the lights as the calcite laden waters drip down from the roof. At various points the tram stops to allow passengers to disembark and have a closer look at the beauty at hand. Just remember how long it has taken for these precious features to for and please do not touch them! One stop takes place at the lowest point in the cave, where a waterfall plunges into an emerald pool. Flash photography is permitted - not video - so take your camera.
