Cruises to Antigua

Discover Antigua with Princess Cruises

With its 365 beaches — one for every day of the year — Antigua is a Caribbean paradise where soft white sands meet crystal-clear waters. But beyond its picturesque shores, the island is rich with history and culture. Walk in the footsteps of sailors at Nelson’s Dockyard, the world’s last remaining Georgian naval dockyard. Or you can take in the views from Shirley Heights, a lookout offering some of the most spectacular sights in the Caribbean. From sailing excursions to local markets, every visit to Antigua is a chance for relaxation and adventure.
