Castries St. Lucia Port Guide

A Caribbean cruise to Castries, St. Lucia offers a different side of the Caribbean than you’ve ever seen before. Castries itself is the capital of St. Lucia, and a walkable, bustling town. Head to Derek Walcott Square to relax after exploring the town, and don’t miss the historic cathedrals in the heart of the city. Of course, you have to try traditional St. Lucian food, including saltfish and green banana, the region’s signature dish.

St. Lucia itself is sprawling and mountainous, protected yet easily explorable. Downtown Castries can certainly take up your day in port, but you could also venture further inland for thrills and outdoor adventures, like hiking one of the volcanic Pitons, a spire-like mountain promising incredible views of St. Lucia from the summit. Take a mud bath at Sulphur Spring Park, or simply swim and snorkel at Pigeon Island National Park or the beautiful Reduit Beach.

Top sights & attractions for cruises to castries, pigeon island national park.

Connected to the island of St. Lucia by a causeway built in the 1970s, Pigeon Island National Park is a perfect day trip while on your Castries cruise. Pigeon Island is a mish-mash of historic landmarks juxtaposed with the tranquility of a Caribbean island. Snorkeling and diving the clear waters are must-do activities on Pigeon Island, but so are tours of the museum and military ruins within the park.

Sulphur Spring Park

Head south by car, and in a little over an hour you’ll be at Sulphur Springs, where you can drive right past an active volcano. They call it the “drive-in volcano,” and it’s one of the most unique sites in St. Lucia. Bathe in the warm sulfuric pools—also called mud baths—while you’re there, which supposedly have healing and relaxing properties.

Derek Walcott Square

This small park in the center of Castries is a historic square honoring Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott. Watch as people go by from one of the shaded benches, resting up before or after your shopping trip at Castries Market. Check out the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception nearby.

Sugar Beach

Nestled right between the two Pitons outside of Soufriere is Sugar Beach, which is a luxurious Viceroy resort area, but also boasts some of the best views of any of the beaches on the island. Lounging is freely available to the public; you don’t have to be staying at the resort to enjoy the imported sandy beach. After exploring a bit, have lunch or dinner at the resort’s restaurant.

Learn More About Castries Shore Excursions

Top things to do in castries, head west to soufriere.

On a cruise to Castries, It’s an hour’s southbound drive to Soufriere, which is where most excursions will take you to get to the massive Pitons nearby. Once the capital city of the island, today a visit to Soufriere is one of the best ways to understand the island’s history. Head to Diamond Falls Botanical Garden to surround yourself with the area’s tropical plant life, or bathe in the thermal springs at Sulphur Springs Park.

Climb the Pitons

For an unforgettable hike in St. Lucia, your best bet is to climb one of the two Pitons. The Pitons are two pyramid-like mountains with volcanic properties. They’re also a UNESCO World Heritage site as of 2004. Your views of the rest of St. Lucia will be unmatched from the top of a Piton, and the four-hour hike is a genuine challenge for outdoors enthusiasts.

Swim at Reduit Beach

On your way to Pigeon Island, get your fix of swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Reduit Beach, which is only a 20 minute drive north from Castries just past Rodney Bay. You’ll find beach bars and standard fare just beyond the beach. Take the kids to Splash Island for water activities and a playground including monkey bars and slides.

Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Castries Cruise Port

Restaurants in St. Lucia are a blend of Creole and Caribbean influence, and the coastal setting means lots of fresh catches rule the menus. The local delicacy is saltfish and green banana (called figs in St. Lucia). Plantains and coconuts feature heavily in St. Lucian dishes, too.

Spinnaker’s Beach Bar & Grill

Address: Reduit Beach, Rodney Bay, St. Lucia

While you enjoy Reduit Beach, take a walk to Spinnaker’s for the quintessential beach bar experience in St. Lucia. They serve American and Caribbean food, with classic bar foods like hot wings, deep fried calamari, catch-of-the-day mains, pan-fried mahi mahi, and burgers. Their bar is also famous for its rum punch and a variety of martinis.

Dasheene Restaurant & Bar

Address: Jalousie, St. Lucia

This resort restaurant overlooks the two Pitons, so a seat outside offers the best views. Dasheene places their focus on lobster, offering everything from grilled lobster to lobster pasta and bisque. They also serve tuna sandwiches featuring local tuna, as well as jerk chicken sandwiches and other classics.

Pink Plantation House

Address: The Morne Fortune | Chef Harry Drive, Castries, St. Lucia

While you’re walking around Derek Walcott Square and the city center of Castries, stop in this joint art gallery and restaurant where you can sit and enjoy lunch on the terrace overlooking Castries. Note that the restaurant is closed on Saturday, but they’re known for their fixed rate Sunday brunch. Dishes have a Caribbean and Creole influence, from salted codfish to shrimp and coconut sauce, curried lamb or simple sauteed vegetables.

Culture & History of the Castries Cruise Port

Indigenous Arawaks and then the Carib were the first to inhabit this part of the world, and remained undisturbed here until European colonization efforts began in the early 17th century. Indigenous peoples called St. Lucia “Island of the iguana” for its massive iguana population. Both the British and French laid claim to the island, and the territory passed hands a dozen or so times in the course of two centuries. British and French influence on the area is still evident today from the architecture to the languages spoken. Eventually, the British took control of St. Lucia in 1814. Eventually, in the mid-20th century, St. Lucia received independence from Great Britain.

Today, English, French, and African influence heavily shaped the island. English is the first language of St. Lucia, but while on a cruise to Castries you can expect hearing mostly a French-based creole. St. Lucia also celebrates its culture during various festivals throughout the year, like the St. Lucia Jazz Festival in May, and a celebration called Creole Day each October which celebrates Creole food, culture, and customs.

Castries Port Facilities & Location

Your ship will dock in one of two places: Pointe Seraphine or La Place Carenage in the center of Castries. If you dock at Pointe Seraphine, you can take a water taxi into the city center, or stretch your legs with a 20 minute walk there. Arrange a private car in advance if you can, and taxi drivers are almost always willing to arrange a tour with you where you can get picked up and dropped off at multiple sights on your Castries cruise.

Transportation in Castries

Taxi and group excursions are the two best ways to see sights beyond the center of Castries. Walking around the city center is common for cruise passengers who wish to stay in Castries during their stop in St. Lucia. Coordinate a multi-stop tour with a taxi driver, but agree on a fare before leaving. Boat rides are also a popular method to getting to Soufriere, and are quicker than taking the route via car. On a cruise to Castries, car rentals are available too for those who would like to drive to the winding roads of St. Lucia.

Shopping Near the Castries Cruise Port

Fans of open air markets will find plenty to see at Castries Market, where over 300 vendors sell their goods every day but Sunday. Saturdays are the busiest day to visit the market. The Castries Market is known for its variety of spices for sale, and the place to stock up on locally sourced spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cocoa. Pointe Seraphine, one of the places where your Castries cruise ship may be docked, is home to duty-free shopping where you can purchase art, gifts, and souvenirs very conveniently near the terminal.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

Saint Lucia uses the East Caribbean dollar, and local ATMs will spit out this currency when you withdraw funds. U.S. dollars are generally accepted at most establishments, but it’s always good to ask. The fixed exchange rate is that $1 USD is equal to $2.70 East Caribbean dollars. You’ll receive East Caribbean currency back whenever you need change. In terms of tipping, be sure to leave a small tip for a tour guide or taxi driver. In St. Lucia, a 10% service charge is usually already included in your bill at restaurants, and you can choose how much to tip additionally from there.

Featured Castries CRUISE ITINERARIES

Virgin Voyages' guide to Castries, St. Lucia

The world’s only drive-in volcano to the world’s best saltfish – and boundless white sand beaches in between.

St. Lucia’s Mecca for the Nature Lover

It’ll be next to impossible not to be taken by the sea of brightly colored houses and swarming shops that pepper the bustling coast as you approach Castries. One of Castries’ most distinctive facts is its unique background with volcanos, in fact, the island of St. Lucia itself was formed almost entirely by the volcanic activity of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates, making their sulfur hot springs, sprawling coral reef and drive-in volcano some of their most admired attractions.

Shore Excursions

What’s not to lava in castries, volcanic mud baths & sugar mill meals.

On a journey to Soufrière, you'll witness the majestic Pitons commanding the coast while heading to Hot Sulphur Springs. Take a dip inside the warm, bubbling craters, with mud rich in volcanic minerals (and, some say, age-defying properties) covering you from head to toe. After this time of restorative contemplation, you'll visit a sugar mill — one of the few with remains of the past — where you'll get to soak up the local culture with some history and a traditionally prepared meal.

Pigeon Island: Your Way to Paradise

There are plenty of ways to stay active or actively do nothing in Pigeon Island National Park. Explore as much as you want or park yourself beachside for maximum relaxation. For the intrepid Sailor, there's an exhilarating hike up to Fort Rodney's lookout, where 18th-century relics (including an actual cannon) remain and jaw-dropping views await, while the dazzling beaches provide the ultimate seaside lounging along the sapphire-colored waves.

Gros Piton Hiking Adventure & Lunch at Ladera

Gros and Petit Pitons are dormant volcanic peaks plunging out of a coral reef in the gem-toned waters below. You’ll hike through different ecosystems, including a rainforest trail and even boulders, walking in the footsteps of the native Arawaks who roamed the land circa 200 AD while observing the endemic fauna and wildlife encountered along the terrain. After working up an appetite, lunch will be served at a resort nestled between the mounds, overlooking stunning vistas of Jalousie Bay.

More Shore Things for your wishlist...

We have even more in our curated catalog.

Coral reef beyond belief

44% of St. Lucia is protected by coral reef.

Beach Cove Horseback Ride

Hit the beach on horseback, whether it’s your first time on a horse or your first time (in a while) getting back on the saddle.

Luxury Cruises to

Castries, st. lucia, luxury cruises to castries, st. lucia.

Castries , the capital, commercial center and main cruise port of St. Lucia is full of charm, treasures, luxury apparel and adventure. Founded by the French around 1768, it changed hands in the early 1800’s, when the British turned the town into a major naval port and built fortifications on Morne Fortune, overlooking the harbor.

Today, bargain hunters often stock up at the duty-free shops at Pointe Seraphine before taking a moment for themselves at the relaxing Serenity Park. If you’re looking for a more cultural experience, head over the Castries Market where you’ll find local produce, crafts and unusual souvenirs.

Piton beer and Chairman’s rum are the local drinks of choice, which can be enjoyed after a visit to Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve, offering a rare glimpse of rainforest flora and fauna. If you’re looking for more adventure, travel to the Grand Pitons or for a hike up to Fort Charlotte on Morne Fortune, and you’ll be rewarded with beautiful vistas and historical perspective.

Stroll through Oranjestad, the picturesque, Dutch-inspired capital while browsing for the perfect souvenir to remind you of your time here.

A small paradise off the coast of Venezuela, Bonaire has some of the world's most pristine diving and snorkeling locations. Preserved coral reefs wait in the warm water, easy to explore from the comfortable beach clubs ashore. Take a diving or snorkeling expedition to the uninhabited island of Klein Bonaire, offroad through the wild mangrove forests and salt flats of the island's interior, or take in the sights of the quaint Dutch-influenced capital by trolley.

Cruises to Curaçao allow you to enjoy many beautiful beaches, snorkel through the shipwreck of a 50-year-old tugboat, or marvel at the striking sea cliffs of Boka Tabla. If the history of the island fascinates you, take a tour of the charming capital of Willemstad, or visit Fort Amsterdam and see the cannonball still embedded in its walls from a battle hundreds of years ago.

Pristine, lush and alive, Dominica escaped modern civilization's penchant for paving every surface and has remained a nature lover's paradise. Dive into the gorgeous blue depths of the dormant volcanic crater in Scotts Head Marine Reserve, and witness the vibrant sea life that makes it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the verdant rainforests, botanical gardens and waterfalls of the island's interior, and experience a slice of heaven on earth

A lush rainforest-covered island nestled between two volcanic peaks, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Pitons, St. Lucia is the definition of a tropical paradise. Cruise to St. Lucia and visit the famous Pitons, journey to the only drive-through volcanic cavern in the world, or experience the sulfur mud baths and recharge your batteries in ancient pools. Travel to the town of Soufriere, supposedly the birthplaces of Napoleon's Queen Josephine, zipline through the lush jungle canopy, or relax on one of the islands many resort beaches.

The "Venice of America" has been the premier destination for spring breakers for almost six decades, but don't let that fool you into thinking the city is one big party. From the Everglades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to an amazingly rich biosphere, to seven miles of white-sand beaches, Ft. Lauderdale is a beautifully diverse city.

8 Best All-Inclusive Resorts In St. Lucia

T here’s something special about St. Lucia and it’s the Pitons. The dormant volcanoes are two marvels of nature on the island’s southwestern coast. Gros Piton is more than 2,500 feet high and Petit Piton is over 2,400 feet high. They are part of the magic, along with the bluest of seas, white sand, and exotic greenery. As for where to stay on St. Lucia, choose among the many all-inclusive options. Here are some of the best on the island.

1. Serenity At Coconut Bay

Eau piquant.

This adults-only, 5-star resort has honeymoon and anniversary celebration written all over it. I’ve been there and, unequivocally, this is romance central. With just 36 plunge-pool suites, there are no crowds. Enjoy the coziness of lavish amenities like the private “backyard” patio with a plunge pool, waterfall, hammock, outdoor shower, and wet bar. This is uber luxe; I felt like royalty. 

The spacious suite was plush; think vaulted ceilings, four-poster, king-sized mahogany bed, oversized soaker tub, and shower with plenty of room for two. Your butler will take care of anything. The Grand Romance Package includes poolside and beach cabanas, an in-suite couple’s tranquility massage, a champagne and jazz sunset catamaran cruise, a private beach picnic, a candlelit pool cabana dinner, and a chauffeured island tour. Serenity is part of the larger Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa next door, which gives you access to amenities like restaurants and a waterpark.

2. Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort

Labrelotte bay, castries .

This family-friendly resort is set along the hillside on 65 acres with private beach access that boasts more than 60,000 square feet of white sand and views of Labrelotte Bay. Choose among rooms, suites, and two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas with large kitchens; most with private plunge pools. 

With snorkeling, windsurfing, pedal boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and diving, there’s something for everyone. It’s a toss-up as to who will be happiest — the parents or children — about the VIP Kids program for children 4–12. Mascot Jacquot the Parrot hosts storytelling evenings on the beach, movie nights on the beach, and more. The resort ups the ante with additional VIP services for kids, like a special turndown service that includes warm milk and cookies, a teddy bear to take home, and a goodnight story read by Jacquot. Teens have their own themed onsite and offsite events. Babysitting is available when parents need couple time. 

Pro Tip: For pampering, spa treatments like a magnesium massage and the Soufriere volcanic mud body wrap are among your options.

3. Calabash Cove Resort & Spa

Gros islet .

This playground for adults only is a walk on the quiet side with only 26 suites and a secluded beach. Decide what you’re in the mood for, a swim-up junior suite with a Jacuzzi; a Balinese mahogany cottage with a private plunge pool, Jacuzzi, outdoor rain shower, and hammock; or a sunset oceanview junior suite. 

Find peace on nature hikes, doing yoga, a relaxing massage in the gazebo, or a candlelit dinner for two under the stars. Paddleboard, kayak, or drink up at C-Bar which overlooks the infinity pool. Do spend time in the Cove Gardens. Exhale as you listen to the birds and the wind chimes that are placed throughout.

4. The BodyHoliday

Cap estate .

The BodyHoliday makes a bold promise, “Give us your body for a week, and we’ll give you back your mind.” This resort is for those looking for a wellness-focused vacay. You’ll love included perks like a 1-hour therapeutic treatment daily, meditation, Tai chi, and yoga. You can get add-ons like acupuncture Bhutanese treatments or a wellness clinic with weight management, detox, and destress programs among others. Then there’s fencing, archery, tennis, kayaking, wakeboarding, diving, sailing, and much more. 

Timing is everything. Nine months out of the year, the resort hosts professional practitioners, athletes, dancers, sports stars, and others for special-themed programs for guests. Come nightfall, the health benefits continue as you choose from a pillow menu that suits you. Rest soundly with noise-cancellation walls and a specially designed air-control system.

5. Sandals Grande St. Lucian

The Grande St. Lucian is on Rodney Bay, which is said to have some of the island’s calmest waters, and is on its own peninsula. Take in views of volcanic mountains, Pigeon Island, as well as the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The water fun is plentiful offering tubing, aqua trikes, kneeboarding, Hobie cat sailing, glass-bottom boats, kayaking, scuba diving, windsurfing, five swimming pools, and more. 

Hop on the shuttle to nearby golf courses as well as two Sandals properties where you can enjoy other amenities. As for your room, go hard or stay home. Why settle for a suite? Go for an over-the-water bungalow or a beachfront grande rondoval butler suite with a private pool sanctuary. 

6. Anse Chastanet Resort

Mamin .

You know it’s going to be a good vacay when your resort is in a tropical rainforest and the rooms have views of the Pitons, the sea, and two bays with an explorable marine reserve just off the beach. The art collection — wooden sculptures, plaques, and paintings — is nearly as captivating as the surrounding nature. The resort includes the former plantation of Anse Mamin and Emerald Estate, including the farm that grows the resort’s organic produce. 

The rooms are nothing ordinary. One suite has a balcony built around a red gommier tree and other suites have the fourth wall open to vistas while retaining privacy. Kai Belte spa sits atop coral reefs and Anse Chastanet Bay, with views of the Caribbean Sea; for sure an idyllic spot for a Swedish massage. You can go high-octane — snorkeling, windsurfing, sunfish sailing, and kayaking — or quiet with a candlelit dinner in a treehouse, yoga, a complimentary or private art class, or simply a sway in a hammock.

7. Jade Mountain

Jade Mountain is the stuff of fantasies. There are bridges leading to “sanctuaries” also known as your suite. Each suite has three walls, an infinity pool, and an open view of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea. The Jade Mountain Club wraps around an infinity pool and is where you’ll be served cuisine designed by James Beard-award-winning Chef Allen Susser. 

From jazz to classical acoustic guitar, some nights, there is music to enhance the vibe and complement the meals that are said to be as awesome as the breathtaking views. It’s no wonder Jade Mountain soaks up all the island’s buzz. When you’ve had a day of tennis, kayaking, and windsurfing, finish it off with the Jazzy Sunset Cruise on the resort’s 60-foot catamaran.

8. Mystique St. Lucia By Royalton

The Mystique St. Lucia by Royalton on lovely Rodney Bay is proof that bigger isn’t necessarily better. This boutique hotel on Reduit Beach overlooks Rodney Bay. Consider a premium junior suite overlooking the bay and watch the sunset on a lounger on your terrace. L’Epicure & Terrace is the open-air restaurant with beach and bay views that serves traditional Creole and international cuisine. Celebrate with one of the resort’s signature Mystique Rum Coolers as you chill at La Mirage, the swim-up bar. To find your Zen, make your way to the Serenity Spa.
