It’s simple: St Kitts’ Port Zante has become one of the hottest cruise ports in the Caribbean.

And that trend is set to continue this year, with seven ships slated to make their first visits to St Kitts in the 2018-2019 cruise season.

That includes Norwegian Jade, which made its first call on St Kitts this week.

More and more brands are adding St Kitts as one of their top destinations, officials told Caribbean Journal.

Norwegian Jade’s visit was the 10th of Norwegian’s fleet of 17 ships to visit the island.

St Kitts also welcomed the world’s largest ship this week, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas.
