Legacy’s summer itinerary is a nature lover’s dream cruise. Get ready for some of the most spectacular scenery, wildlife, and natural attractions in the Caribbean. There’s also a vibrant arts and cultural scene; after all, the Windwards are the heart-and-soul of the West Indies. Carnival celebrations, limbo dancing, conga lines, and the uplifting melodies of steel-pan music add a festive element to the exotic atmosphere. Pristine and non-commercial describes the landscape–every turn reveals a flurry of life: delicate birds and butterflies, aromatic flowers bursting with color, trees dripping with tropical fruits. Hidden in the rainforest, waterfalls cascade into crystal-clear pools ... and our guides know exactly where the best ones are. Remarkably different in appearance, this group of islands runs the gamut from smoldering volcanic peaks to mountainsides thick with tropical vegetation, to dry, low-lying islets with pristine beaches floating in deep turquoise seas.

St. Lucia Tours & Excursions
This island is a nature lover’s paradise. Here, the dueling Piton peaks serve as an inspiring landmark for sailors. You’ll have a chance to visit waterfalls, hot springs, botanical gardens and the world’s only “drive-in” volcano. Got Boots? Hiking boots are what you’ll need for trekking along trails through the Rainforest Reserve, a favorite venue for bird-watchers. The forest is loaded with flowering delights: giant ferns, wild orchids, and towering stands of bamboo. Shop for the island’s famous hand-printed Batik fabrics, sample the calalloo soup, or step back in time by strolling through an historic banana or coffee plantation. The possibilities are endless...

Bequia Tours & Excursions
Pretty as a picture describes our beloved Bequia. You’ll be captivated by the island’s charm while strolling along the lovely harbor with its shops, restaurants, and pastel-painted gingerbread homes. There’s a long tradition of boat building and you’ll find a slew of handcrafted model ships, old nautical charts, and rare sailing books to bring back home.

Mayreau
No need for a time machine–just go to Mayreau! There’s only one road, virtually no development, and farm animals outnumber people. Ok, so you would not want to move here permanently, but it’s the ideal place to take that overdue break from reality.

St. Vincent Tours & Excursions
St. Vincent glimmers like an emerald in the sea. A boat ride along the coast is the best way to appreciate the island’s volcanic origins; and, visit the Falls of Baleine, a breathtaking waterfall that spills from a mass of foliage into a rockbound pool. Kingstown, the capital, is an 18th century town worth exploring. A walking tour begins at the docks and leads to the farmers’ market (Saturday mornings), past shops, restaurants, and old churches. Beachcombers will find beautiful black sand on the Leeward side, proof of the island’s volcanic birth. If flowers brighten your day, take a free tour through the botanical gardens– the oldest in the Northern Hemisphere.

Grenada Tours & Excursions
Grenada is the fruit basket of the Caribbean. The fertile soils of the ‘Spice Island’ are perfect for growing cinnamon, cloves, and cocoa beans. Banana trees grow as tall as palms along the sides of the road. The scents of ginger, vanilla, almond, and nutmeg linger in the air, while the countryside explodes with every tropical fruit imaginable. The bustling farmers’ market in picturesque St. George is one of the liveliest and most resplendent.

Tobago Cays
The highlight of cruising the Grenadines is the Tobago Cays (prounounced keys). They are four uninhabited, palm-fringed islets ringed by pristine, white-sand beaches and clear azure waters. For many, this is the most beautiful region in the Caribbean. The atmosphere is serene, and the intensity of colors sheds a romantic glow. From any of the cays, you can swim or wade to outlying portions of the reef. The Tobago Cays are the closest thing to heaven-on-earth!

Union Island
The most southerly island of the Grenadines, Union Island is a mere three miles by one mile, garnished with two dramatic peaks and a population of 2000. Once you land on shore, you won’t want to leave. Union Island is a sailor’s delight offering pretty anchorages, a couple of rowdy bars, and some good restaurants. There’s mile after mile of undisturbed sand and wild mangos for the taking.
