ROYAL Caribbean International (RCI) has announced Barbados (pictured) as a new homeport, with Grandeur of the Seas to call the Antillean island home beginning Dec.
RCI will debut three distinct itineraries around the islands of the Southern Caribbean, including seven- and 14-night varieties.
Three new ports of call will feature – St. Vincent, Tobago and Trindad – with week-long sailings to island-hop to a different destination every day, or offer late-night stays in the ABC islands.
Grandeur of the Seas’ longer sailings will stay overnight in Aruba, and visit destinations such as Cartagena, Colon and Puerto Limon.
“We are excited to grow our longstanding partnership with Barbados and introduce Bridgetown as Royal Caribbean’s newest home port,” said President & Chief Executive Officer Michael Bayley.
“Sailing from the heart of the Windward Islands unlocks new memorable vacations to share with family and friends in breathtaking places, such as Grenada, St. Lucia, and now St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago.
“The pink-sand beaches and unexpected adventures across Barbados also make it an ideal destination for our guests to experience even more of the Caribbean charm and culture before or after their cruise.”
The move was also hailed by Barbados Minister of Tourism Lisa Cummins.
