Antigua Cruise Port is the gateway to the city, serving over 800,000 passengers annually. The port will be redeveloped under the Antigua Cruise Port Development Project through a 30-year lease agreement between the Government of Antigua &amp; Barbuda and Global Ports Holding. Once the project has been completed, Antigua Cruise Port will have a new pier that can accommodate the biggest ships in the industry, which will make it possible for the port to serve as many as one million passengers per year. The new port will also have brand-new retail and food and beverage facilities, plus an additional 50,000 sq. ft. of commercial space to be leased to Antiguans and Barbudans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190611\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-190611\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:483\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:483\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:141\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:362\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:724\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:905\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:696\/h:328\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1068\/h:504\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:891\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Four-vessels-in-port-scaled.jpg 891w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four vessels in port<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"antig-3921820687\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antigua Cruise Port Conducts Simultaneous Homeporting Operations &nbsp; St. John\u2019s, Antigua, November 19, 2023\u00a0\u2013 Antigua Cruise Port successfully conducted two homeporting operations on Saturday, November 18, 2023, as the company dives deeper into homeporting.
