The Story

St. George's, the picturesque capital of Grenada, welcomes ocean cruisers to one of the Caribbean's most authentic and colorful destinations. Known as the "Spice Isle," this Eastern Caribbean gem offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, colonial history, and warm island hospitality. The horseshoe-shaped harbor, lined with pastel-colored buildings and surrounded by lush green hills, creates one of the most photographed cruise port arrivals in the region.

Your port day in St. George's opens doors to diverse experiences. History enthusiasts can explore Fort George, perched above the harbor with panoramic views, or wander through the aromatic spice markets where nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves fill the air. Grand Anse Beach, consistently ranked among the Caribbean's finest, lies just a short taxi ride away with its two miles of pristine white sand and turquoise waters. Adventure seekers often head to the Annandale Falls, Seven Sisters Waterfalls, or the unique Underwater Sculpture Park at Molinere Bay. The island's rum distilleries and chocolate factories offer tasty tours showcasing Grenada's agricultural heritage.

With 396 upcoming sailings starting from $514, St. George's appears on itineraries from popular ships including Arvia, Iona, and MSC Seaview. MSC Cruises, P&O Cruises, and Princess Cruises frequently feature this port on Southern Caribbean voyages, with most departures from Bridgetown, San Juan, and La Romana.
