Discover our amazing Antigua Caribbean Cruises and packages.
If ever there was an island made for the word ‘beach,’ it’s Antigua. With 366 stretches of sand—one for every day of the year—all open to the public, it’s easy to see why celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Eric Clapton, Silvio Berlusconi, Ken Follett, and even West Indies cricket legends have made it their retreat. Thanks to its deep natural harbor and countless turquoise coves, Antigua is also a haven for sailing and diving enthusiasts.
Steeped in history, the island was once a refuge for pirates and a base for Admiral Nelson. And for those seeking true seclusion, Barbuda offers the ultimate escape: endless pristine sands, accompanied only by the soaring frigate birds overhead.
Why Cruises to Antigua Are Simply Unforgettable
Antigua, the crown jewel of the Caribbean, offers travelers more than just breathtaking beaches—it promises an experience that lingers long after your cruise has ended. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and endless natural beauty, it’s no wonder that a cruise to Antigua is considered one of the most memorable journeys you can take.
