Plan the arrival before the attractions.

The Southern Caribbean & ABC Islands collection brings these destinations together inside Ahoy There. Its 12 genuine cruise ports span Barbados, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines and 7 more countries or territories. Start with the call itself: the berth, tender, shuttle and distance into town decide how much of the destination is genuinely yours to enjoy.

01

Plan the arrival before the attractions.

Calls in this collection include arrival patterns described as Working harbour west of the historic centre; Two cruise areas around a deep natural harbour; City-centre berth or tender landing; City-edge cruise terminal beside a steep harbour capital. Those labels are not decoration. A central dock may open straight into a walking day; a remote terminal, gateway port or tender can consume time before the experience begins.

Open the individual preview before choosing transport or tickets. The guide explains the likely arrival context, then points back to current ship and port instructions because berth assignments, shuttle arrangements and sea conditions can change.

02

Choose a day that fits the call.

Compare places such as Bridgetown, Barbados, Castries, Saint Lucia, Roseau, Dominica, St George's, Grenada without assuming that every famous sight belongs in one port day. A strong plan protects the all-aboard margin, matches the group's walking pace and leaves room for food, weather, queues and the simple pleasure of stopping somewhere unexpectedly lovely.

Use each substantial website preview to judge the shape of the day: what is close, what needs a transfer, what works for families and what may need advance booking. Then choose one leading experience and an easier fallback rather than building a frantic checklist.

03

Carry the useful detail ashore.

The public atlas is deliberately useful in its own right, with arrival answers, practical essentials, selected highlights, family advice, related ports and source links. The complete included or owned app guide adds the wider place catalogue, prepared plans and richer decision detail for use offline.

Prepare Ahoy There and any separate offline maps while the phone still has a reliable connection. Save the stops that belong to the sailing in My Trip, check the current ship instructions on the day, and take a calm plan ashore instead of depending on a signal at the terminal.

Inside the collection

Southern Caribbean & ABC Islands port previews

This page explains the destination collection without making a price claim. Current availability and purchase details appear inside the app.

Barbados · Working harbour west of the historic centre

Bridgetown, Barbados

Cruise ships use the Deep Water Harbour and its terminal complex, roughly 2 km from central Bridgetown. The terminal has shops and regulated transport, while a waterside route and taxis connect the berth with the Careenage, UNESCO-listed centre and south-coast sights.

Saint Lucia · Two cruise areas around a deep natural harbour

Castries, Saint Lucia

Ships may use the dedicated Pointe Seraphine berths on the north side of Castries Harbour or the Queen Elizabeth II berths beside La Place Carenage. Both connect with the city, but the walking direction, pickup point and return gate differ, so save the exact arrival profile before setting out.

Dominica · City-centre berth or tender landing

Roseau, Dominica

The Roseau Cruise Ship Berth puts passengers directly opposite the Dominica Museum and Old Market. Ships at anchor may tender to the nearby ferry terminal, while some calls use Woodbridge Bay farther north. Save the exact landing point before an island excursion.

Grenada · City-edge cruise terminal beside a steep harbour capital

St George's, Grenada

Most large ships berth at Melville Street, beside the Esplanade and a short walk from the Sendall Tunnel and Carenage. St George's is close but steep; island highlights use winding roads, and some calls may tender when berth capacity or ship size requires it.

St Vincent and the Grenadines · Working harbour at a compact capital backed by steep hills

Kingstown, St Vincent

Cruise ships use the Kingstown cruise berth when assigned, while tendering can occur according to ship and harbour operations. Bay Street and the city begin close to the water; Fort Charlotte, gardens, valleys and beaches require road transport on steep volcanic terrain.

Martinique · Two principal cruise arrivals with different walking relationships to the centre

Fort-de-France, Martinique

Pointe Simon places passengers beside La Savane and the city centre. Tourelles lies west of the core and may use shuttle arrangements. Fort-de-France is also a ferry hub; the bay is useful for planned crossings, but island roads and metropolitan traffic require generous margins.

Guadeloupe · City cruise terminal between compact heritage streets and island road networks

Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe

The cruise terminal reaches Pointe-à-Pitre’s markets and centre on foot, with Mémorial ACTe on the waterfront nearby. Guadeloupe’s butterfly-shaped geography makes island direction important: Grande-Terre beaches and Basse-Terre rainforest use different roads and should not be combined casually.

Aruba · Walkable cruise harbour beside a compact capital with dry-island road excursions

Oranjestad, Aruba

Cruise terminals line the Oranjestad harbour close to downtown. The tram and Main Street make the centre easy to explore, while beaches and museums lie a short drive away. Arikok, the lighthouse and San Nicolas need planned island transport and protection from heat.

Curaçao · Two alongside cruise contexts divided by the St Anna Bay entrance and Queen Emma pedestrian route

Willemstad, Curaçao

The Mega Piers meet Otrobanda outside the St Anna Bay entrance, while Mathey Wharf lies inside the bay close to Brionplein. Both support an independent Willemstad visit, but the exact berth changes the first and final walking leg. Queen Emma Bridge can open for vessels, so passengers should follow the current bridge or ferry route rather than treating one map line as permanent.

Bonaire · Two downtown alongside cruise piers with different working-harbour surroundings

Kralendijk, Bonaire

Cruise ships berth at Kralendijk North or South Pier, both within walking distance of the low-rise centre. North faces Wilhelmina Plaza; South lies a short distance down the waterfront and shares more visibly mixed harbour surroundings. The exact pier still matters for the first and final leg. Marine, salt, Rincon and Washington Slagbaai visits require disciplined transport rather than a hurried island circuit.

Tobago · Direct cruise berth beside Tobago’s compact island capital

Scarborough, Tobago

Cruise ships normally berth in the Port of Scarborough rather than tender, close to the lower town, market and Botanical Gardens; always follow the ship notice if operations change. The inter-island ferry terminal occupies the same port precinct but is a separate passenger operation; Charlotteville is a different Tobago port. Fort King George rises above town, while beaches, rainforest and reef trips require road or boat transport.

Colombia · Direct Manga cruise terminal outside Cartagena’s Historic Centre

Cartagena, Colombia

Cruise ships berth at the passenger terminal in Manga, about 3.2 km from the Historic Centre. The terminal complex and its Port Oasis are not inside the Walled City. Contecar and Mamonal serve cargo functions, while Muelle de la Bodeguita is used by excursion boats rather than as the cruise berth.
