How our tour fits your Marella Cruises port day
On a typical Marella Cruises port day, a tour that starts at about 9:00 am (once you are off the ship) finishes around 1:00 pm, leaving roughly 5 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 Marella Cruises 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.
