Tourism stakeholders on Nevis are preparing for a robust season for 2022-2023, with more than 40 scheduled cruise calls and steady hotel reservations.

On Thursday, November 17, 2022, Premier Hon. Mark Brantley, Minister of Tourism in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), announced that the first cruise ship of the season, the luxury vessel Star Flyer, is scheduled to call on Nevis on November 27.

The cruise season will start with its first call on November 27th when the Star Flyer will dock in the waters off Charlestown. Between November 2022 and April 2023, forty seven (47) cruise calls are expected, which are scheduled to bring just over 18,000 visitors to Nevis’ shores.

December will see eleven cruise ships calling on Nevis, including two-ship days on December 11th and December 29th. With St. Kitts predicting over 1 million cruise passenger arrivals for the 2022-2023 season, Nevis is also expected to benefit from those tourists taking day-trips to the island.
