St Johns Antigua

St John's is Antigua's capital and main cruise port, wrapping around a deepwater harbor on the island's northwest coast. Ships dock at Heritage Quay or Nevis Street Pier, steps from duty-free shops and the colonial-era cathedral. Nelson's Dockyard — a UNESCO-listed 18th-century Royal Navy base — is the signature excursion, often paired with a catamaran sail to one of the island's 365 beaches.
