Brief Description

When you think of the Caribbean islands, Basseterre is probably not the first to come to your mind. But don’t let that fool you, because the capital of Saint Kitts and Nevis has a wealth of activities to do! The coastline is dramatic, the mountains are imposing, and the waters are many different shades of blue. And while this offbeat gem is becoming more popular among cruises, it has still retained some of the quaint charm that drew people to it initially. 

One of the greatest things about Basseterre (apart from its stunning beaches and hikes) is the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a stunning expanse of natural vegetation that surrounds a 17th-century fort. The Brimstone Hill Fortress is the perfect place for you to experience the depth of Basseterre’s history in tandem with its natural beauty. The fort is placed on top of an 800-foot hill that offers dazzling views of the surrounding waters and gives you an insight into the Berber, Spanish, and British roots that shaped the small island.  

Beach time, however, is the one activity that is mandatory for you during your time there. The Majors Bay Beach has everything that you could ever need, from awe-inspiring scenery to an incredible variety of shacks and restaurants. Relax and take in the sunset while sipping on some pina coladas, or party it up with the locals at night!  

Regardless of what your perfect holiday is, cruisejoy will make sure that your visit is unforgettable.
