Mayreau Island offers a rare blend of intimate Caribbean charm that sets it apart from traditional cruise port stops. This tiny island, about 1.5 square miles with no airport, few roads, and a single village, feels like a private doorway into the Grenadines. Signature experiences include snorkeling among vibrant reefs and abundant sea life around the Tobago Cays marine park, a climb to the hilltop village for sweeping views across Mayreau, Canouan, the Tobago Cays and Carriacou, and relaxing hours on Saline Bay with local crafts and beachside vendors. The destination is ideally paired with short excursions to nearby gems such as Mustique and Bequia by tender or yacht hop, letting guests sample renowned Grenadines scenery without sacrificing solitude. Fleet features on board the ship are designed for intimate ports: small ships with shallow drafts land guests by tender onto easy to reach sands, while onboard naturalist guides lead reef friendly snorkeling trips, glass bottom viewing, and optional water sports gear. Onboard services emphasize ease and immersion, with shaded decks, refreshing beverages, expert crew briefings, and curated shore excursions that connect travelers with local artisans and protected ecosystems, so visitors depart with memories of a pristine Caribbean paradise rather than a crowded port.
