Construction at the Antigua Cruise Port<\/strong> continues to progress, with the Upland Development Project moving into its second phase as work on the new homeporting cruise terminal approaches completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials say Phase One of the terminal is now about 95% complete<\/strong>, with construction teams carrying out final finishing touches ahead of the facility\u2019s expected opening in November 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>

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

Work is also advancing on new commercial areas within the port. Installation of roofing has begun for a series of retail spaces and kiosks<\/strong>, which form part of the broader development aimed at expanding shopping and visitor experiences at the cruise facility.<\/p>

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

The project is expected to create additional opportunities for local businesses and vendors<\/strong>, while improving amenities for passengers arriving in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction teams say the ongoing development forms part of a wider investment intended to enhance the overall visitor experience and support continued growth in the country\u2019s cruise tourism sector.<\/p>
