Additional Details

  • Operated by a private sector joint venture including Barbados Port Inc and officially opened in 1994, the cruise terminal is now home to over 60 businesses. There is a range of duty free shopping outlets selling everything from clothing and leather goods to souvenirs, crystal, jewelry and liquor, as well as open-air bars where visitors can sample local beers and Bajan cuisine. The terminal pays homage to Barbadian culture in the form of traditional wooden pushcarts manned by smaller vendors selling crafts, souvenirs and other gifts. The heritage of Barbados is reflected still further in the colourful Chattel House shopping area just outside the main terminal, where visitors can buy 100 per cent Bajan-made local items. Recent additions to the cruise terminal include a free mobile-friendly Wi-Fi service for all passengers and crew. In 2016 the terminal launched its first online publication, Docked Magazine, with insider tips for passengers about Barbados. Click on ‘FREE Cruise Terminal Wi-Fi’ for instant access. The Tour Departure Area has been enhanced with additional seating and the introduction of recreational games like hopscotch, checkers and the distinctly Bajan sport of road tennis.
