Antigua Cruise Port says work is continuing on its Upland Development Project — including a new cruise terminal — as the company and the government move ahead with a redevelopment plan they describe as a major step for the country’s cruise sector.
The port operator said recent aerial images showing several ships docked in St. John’s 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.
Antigua Cruise Port said the upgraded terminal and related upland amenities are intended to improve the visitor experience and strengthen the country’s position in the regional cruise market. The company said more project updates are expected as construction continues into 2026.

Haven’t seen any Costa cruise ships docking at Antigua so far this season. Looking at the itinerary I only see one call for Antigua in January. This is quite surprising because this ship usually calls at Antigua regularly in past Cruise seasons.
Costa cruises is one of the largest cruise company in the world with about 8 different ships calling at various ports in the Caribbean this season. In the past Antigua traditionally gets about 5 calls per week from this ship.
This ship carries mostly Italian tourist who traditionally tends to spend more money on tours, excursions and shopping than the Americans and British visitors.
The Antigua cruise port need to explain the reasons for this dramatic shift by this particular cruise company.
