Port information & tips for Kingstown
Kingstown is the charming capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, known as the "City of Arches" and captivating visitors with its authentic Caribbean flair. Situated on a picturesque bay and surrounded by lush green hills, it creates an inviting atmosphere of bustling markets and historical charm. Nearby highlights include the oldest Botanical Garden in the Western Hemisphere, the majestic Fort Charlotte, which offers a spectacular panoramic view over the harbor, and the architecturally impressive St. George’s Cathedral. Cruise ships dock at the modern Kingstown Cruise Terminal, located right in the city center, allowing travelers to easily explore the lively shopping streets and local sights on foot directly from the pier.
The Kingstown cruise port on St. Vincent is located right in the heart of the capital and is the gateway to the picturesque Grenadines. The modern Kingstown Cruise Terminal offers short distances and excellent connections to the island's infrastructure.
Airplane
Argyle International Airport (SVD) is located about 13 kilometers east of Kingstown and is the central hub for international guests. Travelers from the DACH region can easily reach the island via hubs such as Barbados (BGI) or London, from where regional airlines and long-haul partners provide direct onward travel to the modern island airport.
Transfer & Shuttle
The journey from the airport to the terminal takes about 30 to 40 minutes via the Windward Highway, depending on traffic. Licensed taxis with fixed rates as well as organized shuttle services from the cruise lines are available on site, guaranteeing a comfortable ride along the coast directly to the ship.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
Due to the flight duration and time difference, we recommend arriving at least one day before embarkation. Numerous hotels can be found in Kingstown and at nearby beaches such as Villa Beach or Indian Bay, allowing for a relaxed start to the cruise and often arranging private transfers to the port.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that your travel documents will usually include a fixed time slot for check-in, which is mandatory for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port and keep in mind that the latest embarkation time—depending on the cruise line and destination—is generally scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The following also applies during the voyage: for shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the latest announcements and notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
