Antigua and Barbuda set to welcome over 90 cruises and 200,000 visitors this March
The busy schedule features a steady stream of mega ships, luxury liners, and boutique cruise vessels arriving at St John’s, Falmouth, and Barbuda throughout the month.
Antigua and Barbuda is preparing for another bustling month of cruise activity with more than 90 cruise ship calls scheduled for March 2026 and an expected passenger capacity exceeding 200,000 visitors, according to the latest cruise schedule released by Antigua Cruise Port.
The packed calendar highlights a steady flow of mega vessels, luxury liners and boutique cruise ships docking at St John’s Falmouth and Barbuda throughout the month. This, according to tourism officials, reinforces the destination’s position as one of the premier cruise hubs of the Caribbean.
Throughout the month, the island nation will be welcoming more than one cruise every day with some days even seeing the arrival of five cruises simultaneously in a single day. The first two days will witness two cruises arriving on each day including Explora II, Mein Schiff 2 and SeaDream II.
Not only this, but several cruises will be making multiple calls to the island such as Mein Schiff 2, Arvia, Star Flyer, Enchanted Princess and Grand Princess to name a few. As these hundreds of vessels will be arriving to the island with thousands of passengers, tourism officials are expecting a major boost to the overall cruise sector and everyone involved in it.
