Cruise to Grenada in 2025
The tiny island of Grenada is big on impact, known for its picturesque harbour. Grenada’s cruise port is nestled in the town of St George’s – between volcanic hillsides and the crystal-clear ocean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour serves as a gateway to two historic markets and provides easy access to key sites including Grenada’s renowned spice estates – available to tour during our Grenada cruise excursions.
Why cruise to Grenada?
A cruise to Grenada offers a blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture which makes this island a stand-out Caribbean destination. From the moment you arrive at Grenada cruise port, you can admire views of green-clad volcanic hills and sparkling waters.
Boundless beaches and Island scenery
This Caribbean island invites you to explore the untouched landscapes of lush rainforests and pristine beaches. Take a stroll along the powder sands or venture further to uncover hidden waterfalls and hiking trails – all easily accessible from Grenada’s cruise port.
Colonial influences and culture
A rich history and heritage are evident in the colonial architecture, bustling markets and locals playing Calypso music. Wander through the cobblestone streets from St George’s harbour. Here, you can visit local museums and forts or engage with artisans to gain a deeper appreciation of Grenada’s past.
Grenadian delicacies
Feast on the island’s fusion of flavours – influenced by African, Indian and European traditions. Enjoy unique spices and dishes that celebrate the island’s cultural heritage such as ‘Oil Down’ – a hearty one-pot meal made with salted meat and dumplings. Along with food tours to the local markets, you can head down to the harbour for freshly caught seafood.
Spice plantations
As the ‘Spice Isle’, you will soon discover its many spice plantations. A cruise to Grenada with us offers a guided walk through the Laura Spice and Botanical Gardens to discover why the region earned the title ‘Spice Isle’. You can also learn about the island’s nutmeg and cocoa production in the nearby capital Road Town’s spice estate.

This excursion wraps up at historic Quarantine Point, known for its buildings that once isolated victims with diseases once common in the region such as yellow fever and malaria.
Spice Isle Catamaran Adventure
Set sail across along Grenada’s west coast on a catamaran, stopping at Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park for a unique snorkelling experience among submerged sculptures. Molinere Sculpture Park was created in 2006 by British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor. After your snorkel with experts on hand, a visit to the beach will give you the opportunity to swim some more or relax. Rum punch and soft drinks will be served on board your catamaran before making your way back to Grenada’s cruise port in St Georges.
Exotic Garden and Factory Tour
This trip explores two distinctly different sites – great for green-fingered gardeners, history enthusiasts and those interested in the production of culinary delights. Begin at the Tower Estate, where tropical gardens of heliconia, bromeliads and crotons surround the grand house built in 1993. Inside, you will explore artifacts from the Slinger family’s heritage – from photographs to uniforms and maps which span over 300 years of Grenadian history. After enjoying a juice or rum punch, continue to De La Grenade Industries to find out how local nutmeg products and liquor are crafted with a 200-year-old recipe.
