Aboard Star Clipper with Star Clippers
Cruise Overview
Located beside the island’s only natural harbour, the capital of Barbados combines modern and colonial architecture with glorious palm tree-lined beaches and a number of historical attractions.
Experience the relaxed culture of the city renowned for its British-style parliament buildings and vibrant beach life, and seek out the Anglican church and the 19th-century Barbados Garrison.
The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary.
This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
Nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cocoa those heady aromas fill the air in Grenada (pronounced gruh-nay-da).
Only 21 miles (33½ km) long and 12 miles (19½ km) wide, the Isle of Spice is a tropical gem of lush rain forests, white-sand beaches, secluded coves, exotic flowers, and enough locally grown spices to fill anyone's kitchen cabinet.
St.
George's is one of the most picturesque capital cities in the Caribbean, St.
George's Harbour is one of the most picturesque harbors, and Grenada's Grand Anse Beach is one of the region's finest beaches.
The island has friendly, hospitable people and enough good shopping, restaurants, historic sites, and natural wonders to make it a popular port of call.
About one-third of Grenada's visitors arrive by cruise ship, and that number continues to grow each year.
Grenada's capital is a bustling West Indian city, much of which remains unchanged from colonial days.
Narrow streets lined with shops wind up, down, and across steep hills.
Brick warehouses cling to the waterfront, and pastel-painted homes rise from the waterfront and disappear into steep green hills.
The horseshoe-shaped St.
George's Harbour, a submerged volcanic crater, is arguably the prettiest harbor in the Caribbean.
Schooners, ferries, and tour boats tie up along the seawall or at the small dinghy dock.
The Carenage (pronounced car-a-nahzh), which surrounds the harbor, is the capital's center.
Warehouses, shops, and restaurants line the waterfront.
The Christ of the Deep statue that sits on the pedestrian plaza at the center of The Carenage was presented to Grenada by Costa Cruise Line in remembrance of its ship, Bianca C, which burned and sank in the harbor in 1961 and is now a favorite dive site.
An engineering feat for its time, the 340-foot-long Sendall Tunnel was built in 1895 and named for Walter Sendall, an early governor.
The narrow tunnel, used by both pedestrians and vehicles, separates the harbor side of St.
George's from the Esplanade on the bay side of town, where you can find the markets (produce, meat, and fish), the Cruise Ship Terminal, the Esplanade Mall, and the public bus station.
