Cruises to Antigua in 2026 & 2027

Antigua is part of Antigua and Barbuda, in the eastern Caribbean. Cruise ships usually call at St John’s, the island’s capital, where passengers find shops, markets and harbour views close to the pier. Many visitors head to the beach, as Antigua is known for its long coastline, pale sand and clear water. Popular excursions may include Nelson’s Dockyard, Shirley Heights, island drives and catamaran trips. Antigua works well for passengers who want an easy Caribbean day ashore with beaches, naval history and coastal scenery rather than a dense city visit.
