Cruises to Antigua from Florida

Visiting the eastern Caribbean island of Antigua is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The best way to do this is by planning a cruise from one of the many Florida ports.

Florida, known as “The Sunshine State,” is also a top-ranked holiday destination in its own right. With so much to do in Florida, it’s worth spending a few days there before or after your cruise. As a sun, sea, and sand location, Florida attracts all kinds of travelers, from partygoers to retirees, nature lovers, thrill seekers, and even foodies, not to mention beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Explore some of Florida’s busy, modern cities, quiet beach towns, and beautiful natural areas.

If you’re thinking about taking a cruise from Florida with a stop in Antigua, you have four ports to choose from: Miami, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Tampa, and Port Canaveral (Orlando). Whichever departure port you choose on your journey from Florida to the South Caribbean island of Antigua, with multiple stops in all kinds of different ports, you’ll be greeted by sandy white beaches, tropical weather, lush green landscapes, and colorful cultures.

So, if you want a vacation that is both exciting and restful, with a layover in Antigua, choose one of the cruises that depart out of Florida.

Antigua and Barbuda

St. John’s is the capital, largest city and key port of the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda. The city is home to the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, with exhibits on indigenous tribes and plantation life. The city is famous for its shopping malls as well as boutiques throughout the city, selling designer jewellery and haute-couture clothing. There are also independent, locally run establishments, selling fashions. St. John’s Cathedral, a 19th-century Anglican church, is on a hill near the 17th-century Government House. A monument to the nation’s founder, V.C. Bird, is next to the Public Market, which sells crafts and produce.

The city is approximately 4 square miles on size, and is designed in an easy to navigate grid system. As long as you have a map in hand, it is very difficult to get lost in St Johns – and if in doubt downhill is generally towards the harbour, and uphill is out of town.
