Viking Orion Makes First-Ever Visit to St Kitts

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 3, 2021

Another major cruise ship has called on St Kitts’ Port Zante. 

Viking Ocean Cruises’ Viking Orion ship made the first of what will be 10 calls to St Kitts during the winter 2021-2022 season. 

Orion is the fourth ship to call since the restart of St Kitts and Nevis’ cruise sector. 

It’s also the first inaugural call of the 2021-2022 season. 

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Viking Orion,” said St Kitts and Nevis Tourism Minister Lindsay Grant. 

Grant said the visit was “symbolic of the continued relationship between Viking Cruises and St. Kitts, it demonstrates Viking’s confidence in St. Kitts the destination.”

“The restart of cruise globally requires all of us in the Federation to their part so old and new cruise visitors can experience our one-of-a-kind attractions, dynamic culture, rich history, simply the authentic Caribbean,” Grant said.
