Grenada opens 2026–27 cruise season with 192 calls scheduled

Grenada opened its 2026–27 cruise season on Tuesday 27 October with the arrival of the Coral Princess at the Melville Street Cruise Terminal. The season has 192 cruise calls scheduled through May 2027, including visits to Carriacou.

The schedule includes large cruise ships, luxury vessels and sailing ships. Grenada Tourism Authority Chairman Randall Dolland said each arrival gave the country an opportunity to encourage cruise passengers to return for longer holidays.

The busiest part of the schedule is projected between December 2026 and February 2027, with 38 calls expected in December, 42 in January and 44 in February.

Tourism Minister Adrian Thomas said local communities should share in cruise-tourism income. Shanai St. Bernard, the Grenada Tourism Authority’s Nautical Development Manager, said cruise lines, port authorities and local service providers would need to work together on arrivals and visitor services, including for calls to Carriacou.
