Antigua and Barbuda’s cruise sector recorded a significant surge on Tuesday as five ships berthed simultaneously at the St John’s harbour, creating what officials described as “a powerful day” for the country’s tourism economy.
According to Antigua Cruise Port, the arrival of the vessels generated heightened activity across the capital, with tour operators, taxi drivers, retailers, restaurants and waterfront vendors all benefiting from the increased foot traffic.
The port authority said the bustling atmosphere underscored the vital role cruise tourism plays in supporting local livelihoods, noting that the industry continues to deliver meaningful economic opportunities for residents.
In a statement, officials praised stakeholders for maintaining high service standards throughout the busy day, thanking workers across the sector for helping to provide what they called “cruise excellence” to visiting passengers.
“Cruise tourism works for all of us,” the port said, adding that continued strong arrivals reflect growing confidence in Antigua and Barbuda as a leading Caribbean destination.

There were five cruise ships in St. Johns on Monday not today (Tuesday). Four on a Tuesday is still impressive!
then a tourist got her pocket book snatched same day.The perpetrator has to be caught and dealt with severely.
Tourism as our main source of income, does not need a robbery victim saying to a potential tourist,IT IS NOT SAFE THERE.
Dem taxi men must be smiling. Money making
But when they come they done off all their money at the other ports. We are the last they visit
It’s amazing how tourism keeps our economy moving. Hopefully, the momentum continues through the season.
What a boost for the city! Days like this show how many families rely on cruise tourism to make a living
And when they say the economy is growing, it is these things economist are talking about. But if for whatever reason you do not directly benefit from this influx of money into our economy, that perhaps you need to change your profession. Because you will not hear taxi operators complaining. You will not hear tour operators complaining and I guess some vendors will also be smiling. Do your study and see what you can offer these part time customers that are only here for a couple of hours. Have you seen how the vendor at Buccaneer Beach took over the entire beach renting chairs to the cruise ship passengers. And selling food and drinks as well. What can you offer our guests. And if you do nothing, you will get nothing. Simple as that.
