About M.S. Saint Laurent
Refined, Small Ship Experiences
The indisputable joy of sailing is brought to life on the M.S. Saint Laurent, an agile small ship that easily navigates canals and locks, tranquil bays, and hidden ports where larger ships dare not go. Onboard, fresh, modern design tips its hat to the maritime past as spacious, open-air lounges, inviting dining venues, and generous windows ensure you never miss a chance to savor the view.
Intuitive and Attentive Services
With an attentive crew of 90 serving no more than 210 guests, guests will feel at home on the M.S. Saint Laurent from the moment you step on board. Whether it’s a favorite cocktail served on deck, hot coffee delivered to the guestroom, an iPad® offered for use in the lounge, or the delicate chocolate received at turndown, the ship has it all. Throughout the ship, unlimited beverages are available 24 hours a day, including distinctive wines, beers, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, juices, coffee, tea, and water. And 24-hour room service is just a phone call away.
On-board Specialists and Included Excursions
Aboard the M.S. Saint Laurent, guests will travel in the enriching company of specialists who share their expertise freely in presentations and impromptu discussions throughout your journey. In port, shore excursions with knowledgeable local guides provide meaningful opportunities to uncover the rich history, unique wildlife, and fascinating cultures of the destinations you visit.
Fresh, Healthy Regional Cuisine
The M.S. Saint Laurent offers distinctive dining venues, each with its own appeal. Enjoy fresh air and fresh selections at Cliff Rock Bar & Grille, the outdoor grill where “hot rock” cooking is the special of the day, every day. Relax in the comfort of the elegant main dining room, where a professional wait staff serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily from the chef’s menu of regionally inspired dishes and western favorites. After dinner, share stories and laughter with friends in the casual comfort of the English-style tavern.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1 | Nassau, Bahamas
Guests will arrive at Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport and make their way to the port to board the M.S. Saint Laurent. In the evening, guests will share cocktails on deck as they prepare to set sail on a tropical cruise adventure.
Day 2 | Cruising the Caribbean Sea
The Caribbean Sea floor is made up of five basins, separated by underwater ridges and mountain ranges. Water from the Atlantic Ocean enters the Caribbean through the Anegada Passage and the Windward Passage. After an exhilarating day of cruising, guest will gather for a cocktail reception, followed by a welcome dinner.
Day 3 | Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos
Arrive in the Turks and Caicos and go ashore on Grand Turk, a small island that retains the look and feel of the Caribbean of 40 years ago. The island is six miles long and is blessed with miles of beautiful beaches and close to several uninhabited cays. While there are many landside attractions to explore such as the Old Prison, Lighthouse Park, and the re-created salt salina, the real beauty of the island lies underwater in the healthy coral reefs that surround the island.
Day 4 | Cruising the Caribbean Sea
Day 5 | St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
Today guests will visit the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John. Join the expedition team and hike along Lind Point Trail or visit Trunk Bay, which boasts beautiful underwater coral gardens and is one of the world’s most stunning beaches.
Day 6 | Charlestown, Nevis
Visit the island of Nevis, a beautiful island that offers gracious, old, sugar plantation houses such as Hermitage Plantation, Montpellier Golden Rock, and Old Manor. The island is, also, the birthplace of United States founding father Alexander Hamilton.

Afterwards, guests will enjoy free time to visit the island beach or hike through the rainforest.
Day 7 | Roseau, Dominica
Known for its unspoiled beauty, guests will visit Emerald Pool or Trafalgar Falls on the morning expedition ashore. An optional afternoon excursion will escort guests to Wolton Waven, or “wellness village,” to enjoy a reviving Sulphur stream bath in the heart of the rainforest.
Day 8 | Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Part of the 32-island chain of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the island of Bequia is a paradise of white sand beaches, boutiques selling local crafts, and the local delicacy: lobster pizza.

Day 9 | St. George’s, Grenada
Grenada is the Caribbean’s “Isle of Spice” – one of the world’s richest sources of nutmeg, mace, clove, cinnamon, and cocoa. The day’s shore excursion takes guests to the island’s Fort Frederick, Grand Etang Lake, and Laura’s Herb & Spice Garden with an optional snorkeling trip in the afternoon.
