Port Union Island stands apart from larger Caribbean cruise ports with its intimate scale, unspoiled scenery, and a true island rhythm that invites seamless immersion rather than crowds and long lines. As a gateway to the Grenadines, it sets the bar with signature experiences such as snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful reef life in the Tobago Cays Marine Park, kayaking along crystal coves, and short, scenic island hops to Mayreau, Canouan, and Carriacou that reveal hidden beaches and friendly village life in Clifton and Ashton. The destination itself feels like a living postcard, where palm-fringed shores meet turquoise water just outside the ship’s wake. The port’s fleet features agile tenders and shore boats designed for quick, smooth transfers, plus marina-friendly berthing that keeps operations efficient even in calm or breezy conditions. Onboard services that accompany the call emphasize ease and immersion: a welcoming port team ready to arrange excursions, multilingual guides, curated shore options, and comfortable, shaded gathering spots close to the gangway so guests can begin their Grenadines adventure without delay. All of these elements combine to make Union Island a standout port call—compact, authentic, and perfectly aligned with the Grenadines’ pristine isles and warm, direct Caribbean hospitality.
