Bring the New Year in with style onboard Chronos as she sails colourful Caribbean islands from Antigua to Tortola BVI

Join Chronos for a New Year to remember as she sails her way north through the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Bring in the New Year relaxing in the Caribbean sunshine in the luxury and comfort of yacht Chronos with 7 days sailing and exploring these beautiful turquoise waters and island hopping your way from Antigua to Tortola, the British Virgin Islands.

From Antigua, you will sail to the French-speaking island of St Barths. A tropical island of green hills and mountains, stretches brilliant white soft sand and beautiful flowering gardens filled with hibiscus and fragrant frangipanis. Onto the British Virgin Islands (BVI), a paradise for sailing enthusiasts and sailing beginners, offering numerous uninhabited islands with great turquoise bays and sandy beaches. This necklace of volcanic islands consisting of the main islands, Tortola and Virgin Gorda are encircled by the smaller and enchantingly named islands Fallen Jerusalem, Dead Chest, Salt Island Peter, Cooper and Ginger Island. These smaller islands conjure up tales of treasure maps and piracy offering a unique sailing experience throughout the Island group. These extraordinary names hark back to the days of explorers and pirates, made accessible by sailing across the aptly named Sir Frances Drake Channel named after the Queen’s favourite Privateer and Westcountry hero, Frances Drake. After a night under the stars, the perfect way to start the day “island style” is with a swim, diving over the side into balmy crystal waters. A breakfast gleaming with fresh tropical fruits start the day in anticipation of sailing to our next destination. What better way to start the New Year?!

The beauty of being on a ship in these breathtaking islands is that we can take you to the unspoilt, authentic Caribbean, away from the busy resorts and beaches. Experience true Caribbean culture, from small fishing villages to lively, colourful festive carnivals. The crew will aim to give you time to explore the islands as you wish, finding harbours to berth at and secluded bays to anchor in. Feel the sand between your toes, soak up the wonderfully colourful Caribbean culture, snorkel with the fantastic marine life or simply kick back and relax on the beach. Dive from the boat and swim in the turquoise blue waters, making use of Chronos’ onboard watersports equipment.

Wildlife in the Caribbean is a real treat. Spot graceful Green and Loggerhead Sea Turtles gliding effortlessly through the water and Bottlenose Dolphins swimming with the wake of the bow. Whales also frequent the Caribbean sea, with the warm water providing the perfect breeding grounds at this time of year for the humpback whale. Birdlife in the Caribbean is an incredibly beautiful sight. Keep your binoculars at the ready to spot these colourful delights. With species only native to the Caribbean, these are once in a lifetime encounters! Pink Flamingoes are also a common bird across the Caribbean islands; these sociable creatures inhabit the blue lagoons, mudflats and lakes, living in colonies that can contain thousands of individuals.

Chronos offers daily cabin service, a rich breakfast buffet, a light 2-course lunch at noon, coffee, tea and cake in the afternoon, and a 3-course dinner in the evening. Upon arrival, you will receive a welcome drink and on the last evening, the Captain’s Dinner will be served. One evening a week, all guests eat at their own expense on land to get to know the local cuisine.

With Chronos as your base, great food included and some beautiful bucket list locations; this is a festive holiday experience of a lifetime and one not to be missed!
