St Kitts and Nevis is all set to welcome more than one million cruise passengers for the 2024-2025 season. This was revealed by Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew through his official Facebook account. 

While revealing these figures, he thanked Tourism Minister Marsha Henderson and her team who worked throughout the year and established connections with a number of international cruise lines. 

These numbers are being anticipated as the island is off to a good start for the season with a total of 52 cruise vessels arriving in St Kitts this month. These major cruises will arrive with thousands of passengers, pushing the numbers towards the targeted goal. 

Star Pride, Viking Sea, and Zuiderdam arrived at Port Zante on November 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Today, Celebrity Eclipse will arrive in St Kitts with over 2000 passengers.

These visitors will disembark on the island and explore the local offerings including the various excursions, providing good business to local vendors, cab drivers and tour guides. 

November 5 will mark the first day when St Kitts will welcome five cruises together, bringing significant activity to Port Zante. These cruises are Aida Perla, Icon of the Seas, Mein Schiff 1, Seabourn Quest and Star Pride. Meanwhile, on November 6, a single mega cruise Arvia, boasting a capacity of 5200 passengers will be arriving on the island.
