Rhapsody of the Seas makes 5th summer call to St. Kitts' Port Zante

St. Kitts and Nevis: The Rhapsody of the Seas has officially made its fifth call to the St Kitts' Port Zante for the summer on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, bringing 2,326 passengers to the island.

According to the reports, the vessel is currently on a seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise.

Four more calls to St Kitts are scheduled for the remainder of the summer season as the calls are as follows, on August 19, and September 2, September 16 and September 30, 2026.

Most of the 2,326 passengers, along with scores of crew members, came ashore and kept taxi drivers, tour operators, vendors, restaurateurs and other tourism industry workers busy for the day.

Passengers also showed enthusiasm in shopping for locally made craft, souvenirs, perfume and jewellery at Port Zante, while others took part in organised and selected island tours and trails of St. Kitts via taxis and the St. Kitts Scenic Railway.

The visit forms a part of a wider schedule of calls that the Royal Caribbean ship began on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, when it made its first stop of the season at Port Zante.

That inaugural visit brought around 2,360 passengers and marked the start of nine scheduled calls to the island between June and September 2026, according to the St Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA).

Popular attractions for visiting cruise passengers include the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, alongside activities ranging from snorkelling and scuba diving to relaxation on the island's beaches.

Local residents were also seen enjoying the calm sea in the Basseterre Roadstead as the Rhapsody of the Seas remained docked at Port Zante on Tuesday afternoon.
