BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, NOVEMBER 27TH 2007 (CUOPM) – St. Kitts, which is on the itinerary of Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny is being described as an island paradise offering a landscape of rugged mountains and dense rainforest which serves as a dramatic backdrop to magnificent beaches that range in color from black to golden.
“The island (St. Kitts) also offers excellent examples of West Indian and Creole architecture, as well as centuries-old fortresses and plantations,” is how the Carnival Corporation Website introduces St. Kitts to millions of its customers and internet clients.
For the 2007/2008 Cruise Ship Season, the Carnival Miracle, which is in port on Wednesday, has made two previous visits to St. Kitts.
The Carnival Destiny will operate a new six-port Caribbean cruise programme from San Juan, Puerto Rico in March 2008, to the southern Caribbean featuring the tropical destinations – St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominica, and St. Thomas/St. John.
