Construction at the Antigua Cruise Port continues to progress, with the Upland Development Project moving into its second phase as work on the new homeporting cruise terminal approaches completion.

Officials say Phase One of the terminal is now about 95% complete , with construction teams carrying out final finishing touches ahead of the facility’s expected opening in November 2026.

Work is also advancing on new commercial areas within the port. Installation of roofing has begun for a series of retail spaces and kiosks , which form part of the broader development aimed at expanding shopping and visitor experiences at the cruise facility.

The project is expected to create additional opportunities for local businesses and vendors , while improving amenities for passengers arriving in Antigua and Barbuda.

Construction teams say the ongoing development forms part of a wider investment intended to enhance the overall visitor experience and support continued growth in the country’s cruise tourism sector.
