Pointe-à-Pitre

Port Pointe-à-Pitre is more than a cruise stop—it’s a warm, living introduction to Guadeloupe’s culture, nature, and family fun. Here the dock meets a city buzzing with color: open-air markets brim with tropical fruits, spices, and crafts, and savory aromas drift from bistros where Creole dishes come to life. Signature experiences invite guests to wander the Central Market, sample local rums and accras during chef-led demonstrations, or sail on a catamaran to pristine reefs and turquoise bays. The port also serves as a doorway to unforgettable destinations: the rainforests and volcanic landscapes of Basse-Terre, the white-sand cays of Petite-Terre, and the charming isles of Les Saintes and Marie-Galante, all just a shore excursion away. The onboard palette mirrors the island’s hospitality, with modern fleet features like wide promenades, shaded lounges, and eco-conscious design, plus enriching services—from kid-friendly clubs and multilingual shore-excursion desks to spa, gourmet Creole cuisine, and island-inspired culinary showcases. Families will appreciate a mix of markets and educational theme parks, hands-on cultural experiences, and safe, well-organized activities that entertain children and adults alike. All of this makes Pointe-à-Pitre a port of discovery and a distinctive gateway to Guadeloupe’s splendor.
