Clean Cruising

Cruises visiting St Georges & all St Georges cruises for 2013 - 2015

St. George's is the capital of Grenada, British West Indies. The city surrounds a horseshoe-shaped harbour, and is an attractive colonial-era town with a distinctly Mediterranean feel that appears to spill down the hill side. When a ship arrives at the new docks, the town explodes into a frenzy of activity, market stalls open up on shore, restaurants and bars fill up and street vendors and local guides come out in force.

Sites within the city include: the Roman Catholic Cathedral with its brightly coloured interior and the tower of which was built in 1818; the Anglican Church with a clock that plays the Westminster chimes on the hour; Fort George built by the French in 1705 and is now used by the police but is open to visitors; and the Grenada National Museum with interesting displays of a variety of historical items including Josephine Bonaparte’s marble bath.

For those who enjoy challenging hikes, be sure to visit St Margaret’s Falls that consists of seven mountain waterfalls nestled in the rich vegetation of the rain forest, and if time permits tackle the 720 m high Mt Qua Qua with a trail that passes by Grand Etang Lake then up some steep and sometimed slippery slopes surrounded by elfin mountain forests - regarded by many as the best site at this port of call. For cricket fans, yes the 2007 Cricket World Cup was played in this popular Caribbean tourist destination.
