Popular Caribbean cruise port getting massive overhaul
While certain cruise hot spots in Europe like Ibiza, Spain and Santorini, Greece are beginning to limit cruise ship arrivals to combat overtourism, sought-after destinations in the Caribbean are taking a different approach.
Caribbean island nations are celebrating the record-breaking cruise ship arrivals 2024 brought to their ports and the benefits cruise tourism brings to their communities.
The Caribbean already holds the highest share of the global cruise market at more than 40% and demand continues to grow, creating new opportunities for both cruise lines and the Caribbean communities their cruise ships visit.
To support continued cruise tourism growth, Caribbean destinations recognize that collaboration with cruise lines is essential, and so are investments in local infrastructure to accommodate the demand and support economic growth.
St. Lucia celebrates cruise tourism growth
One of the Caribbean destinations energized by its cruise tourism growth, St. Lucia took to its Facebook page recently to celebrate record-breaking cruise ship arrivals to its Port Castries cruise port.
St. Lucia expects to welcome more cruise passengers than ever during its 2024-2025 cruise season, which runs from October through April. Saint Lucia Cruise Port anticipates that it will receive approximately 823,132 passengers aboard 459 calls, up from 614,980 passengers aboard 264 calls during the 2023-2024 season.
