St. George's, Grenada

St. George's is the capital of Grenada, the southernmost island of the Antilles chain, about 90 miles north of Venezuela and Trinidad. The town climbs the hillsides of an old volcanic crater around a horseshoe-shaped harbor called the Carenage, with a French-built fort standing over the water. Grenada is known as the "Island of Spice" for its nutmeg and mace, and nutmeg even appears on the national flag. Independent since 1974, the country also includes the smaller islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

Do cruise ships dock in Grenada? Yes. Large ships berth at the Melville Street Cruise Terminal in St. George's, and passengers walk out through the Esplanade shopping mall directly into downtown. Smaller ships may tie up inside the Carenage itself, and on the busiest days an extra ship may anchor and tender passengers ashore. Fort George, the market and the waterfront are all within walking distance, while Grand Anse Beach, in the same parish, is reached by taxi.

Cruises to Grenada are part of Southern Caribbean itineraries. MSC and Princess call most often, with Seabourn, Windstar, Silversea, Azamara, Celebrity, Carnival and Royal Caribbean also visiting. A few small-ship voyages, such as Star Clippers tall-ship cruises, start or end in St. George's.

With the fort and the Carenage close to the pier, a good plan is to walk the town in the morning and spend the afternoon at Grand Anse, or join a tour into the Grand Etang forest reserve for a waterfall and a crater lake.

During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise. In fact, some of these cruise lines have all-inclusive pricing. There's a definite focus on the ship's surrounding scenery, as well as opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).

Things to do in St. George's, Grenada

A French fort over the harbor, a world-famous beach, an underwater sculpture garden and a crater lake in the mountains. Here are the best things to do in Grenada on a cruise day:

♦ Grand Anse Beach

Grenada's best-known beach is a 2-mile (3 km) stretch of sand in St. George's parish, often described as one of the finest beaches in the world. With hotels and shopping close by, it is the easiest beach day from the ship.

♦ Fort George and the Carenage

Built by the French between 1706 and 1710 on the promontory west of the harbor, Fort George overlooks the town and the Carenage, and colonial cannons still sit on its walls. It housed the police headquarters until 2024 and is being developed as a heritage site. Below it, the horseshoe-shaped Carenage is the town's waterfront, with shops and restaurants close by.

♦ Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park

Opened in 2006 as the world's first underwater sculpture park, this collection by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor holds more than 65 life-size concrete figures, including a ring of children holding hands, on the seabed in water no deeper than about 40 feet (12 m). It lies about 2 miles (3 km) north of the capital and is visited by boat, with snorkelers, divers and glass-bottom boats all able to see the figures.

♦ Grand Etang and Annandale Falls

In the island's mountainous interior, Grand Etang is a crater lake of about 36 acres sitting 1,740 feet (530 m) above sea level, surrounded by a forest reserve. Annandale Falls, in the same protected forest area, is the nearest waterfall to St. George's, so the two make a natural tour into the mountains.

♦ Grenada National Museum

Housed in French barracks dating from 1704 that later served as a prison and as the island's first hotel, the museum displays Carib and Arawak artifacts, sugar and whaling equipment and the marble bath of the Empress Josephine.

♦ Spices and Chocolate

Nutmeg arrived in Grenada in 1843 and became the island's signature crop, and cocoa has been grown here since the early 1700s. Nutmeg gardens and chocolate makers that welcome visitors are among the attractions listed by the national tourism authority, a flavorful way to see how the island's crops are grown and made.
