How our tour fits your Carnival Cruise Line port day
On a typical Carnival Cruise Line port day, a tour that starts at about 9:00 am (once you are off the ship) finishes around 1:00 pm, leaving roughly 4 hours before your ship sails. That is time for lunch, a walk around Basseterre or some shopping at Port Zante, and you still make all-aboard with time to spare.
Ship excursion or a local tour? Excursions booked through Carnival Cruise Line are convenient, and the ship waits if an official excursion runs late. Our tour is run by local St. Kitts photographers with hand-picked licensed drivers: you know exactly who you are meeting, pickup is at Port Zante, the group is small, entrance fees and 5 professional photos are included, and we guarantee your return to the ship.
