Antigua Cruise Port says work is continuing on its Upland Development Project \u2014 including a new cruise terminal \u2014 as the company and the government move ahead with a redevelopment plan they describe as a major step for the country\u2019s cruise sector.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The port operator said recent aerial images showing several ships docked in St. John\u2019s Harbour point to steady demand for Antigua and Barbuda as a cruise call. The company said improved port facilities are expected to benefit taxi drivers, tour operators, vendors and other small businesses tied to visitor spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua Cruise Port said the upgraded terminal and related upland amenities are intended to improve the visitor experience and strengthen the country\u2019s position in the regional cruise market. The company said more project updates are expected as construction continues into 2026.<\/p>
