Grenada Cruise Guide
The island is ringed with sugar sand beaches, waving palm trees, picturesque coves, offshore reefs teeming with tropical fish, and dotted with charming towns, old spice plantations and rum distilleries. The seductive island rhythm lures cruise ships to the Port of St. George's, a city of rainbow coloured buildings with red-tiled roofs, local festivals, fairs and street markets.
Sightseeing
Explore forts from Grenada's colourful past, when France and England took turns to route out the fierce cannibalistic Carib Indians. Buy handicrafts from local markets, or soak up the island rhythm at one of the many annual festivals. The true pace of life in the tropics can be found on a white sandy beach, listening to the gentle surf and warm breezes blowing through waving palm fronds.
