St Kitts / Special Interests / Cruise Ship

By Sara Macefield

St Kitts is a popular stop on cruising routes that cover the Eastern Caribbean and attracts a mix of large and small ships that moor at its cruise pier at the capital Basseterre. Larger ships calling here belong to lines such as Celebrity Cruises, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises.

Ships we recommend are owned by the following companies:

Compagnie du Ponant - Gallic luxury and continental charm are the hallmarks of this upscale line’s fleet of five ships, including a three-masted yacht and three mega-yachts, which offer bilingual sailings in sumptuous surrounds.

Seabourn - An upmarket cruise line that prides itself on the high levels of intuitive and attentive service and an intimate ambience that is more reminiscent of a private club.

SeaDream Yacht Club - Its two mega-yachts are full of sophistication and style more reminiscent of an upmarket boutique hotel, with an emphasis on luxury, privacy and intimacy.

Silversea - Seriously upmarket and unashamedly opulent, this family-owned line’s six ships offer all-suite accommodation, first-rate service and exquisite cuisine.
