Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr. Terrance Drew, plans to board the inaugural P&O Cruises voyage departing from St Kitts in November 2027, accompanied by his family to celebrate this key milestone for the nation.
Homeporting Milestone for Tourism
P&O Cruises launches homeporting operations from St Kitts and Nevis starting November 2027, featuring flagship ships Arvia and Iona. Tourism officials and government leaders hail the move as a major boost to the country’s tourism industry.
Dr. Drew shared the news on social media, urging residents to book cruises directly from St Kitts and Nevis. He emphasized that homeporting elevates operations to a new level, fostering growth in the tourism sector and driving economic transformation.
Job Creation and Regional Competitiveness
The initiative promises hundreds of new jobs and expanded opportunities for locals. Unlike past port calls limited to brief visits, homeporting allows travelers to begin and end voyages on the island, positioning St Kitts and Nevis strongly in the Caribbean market.
Passengers will fly into St Kitts to board ships, increasing visitor numbers significantly. Itineraries link St Kitts and Nevis to destinations like Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Curacao, Tortola, Saint Martin, Saint Lucia, and beyond.
