Known for their plethora of beguiling beaches, this is the perfect port to achieve the relaxation you’ve been looking forward to since booking your voyage.
There’s a term in Basseterre, “limin,” meaning to simply hang out, drink and chill, and that’s exactly the vibe when you step onto the white sand that lets you know you’re exactly where you should be. With unbelievable adventure opportunities from hiking a volcano, exploring the rainforest or taking a party catamaran to St. Kitts sister island Nevis – there’s certainly no shortage of magic waiting to happen for you on your day in Basseterre.
