The 2025/2026 cruise season has officially kicked off at Antigua Cruise Port

The 2025/2026 cruise season has officially kicked off at Antigua Cruise Port, with Rhapsody of the Seas making the first scheduled call on October 2, bringing a buzz of excitement and the promise of a record-breaking cruise season ahead. Officially running from October 1, 2025 – May 31, 2026, the season is forecasted to welcome a remarkable milestone of over 1,000,000 cruise passengers — an increase of 33% over the previous season — reflecting the strong demand and the growing popularity of Antigua and Barbuda as a top Caribbean cruise destination.

Work continues to advance on the Upland Development Project, bringing Antigua Cruise Port closer to delivering a state-of-the-art cruise terminal designed to enhance the visitor experience, streamline homeporting operations, and welcome P&O’s Arvia by November 15, 2025. The terminal will feature a host of modern amenities and upgraded check-in facilities.

“This cruise season promises to be our busiest yet,” said Gasper George, General Manager at Antigua Cruise Port. “We are thrilled to welcome the first ship of the season and with our new Upland Development on the horizon, Antigua Cruise Port is poised to deliver on the commitment to building a world-class, future-ready port!”

Mr. George continued – “Thanks to the dedication of our tourism partners and team members, Antigua Cruise Port has enhanced our facilities and service levels this summer, setting the stage for a truly memorable cruise season ahead.”
