Overview
Guadeloupe, a French overseas territory in the Eastern Caribbean, is a captivating archipelago shaped like a butterfly—formed by its two main islands, Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre, separated by the Rivière Salée. The cruise port in Pointe-à-Pitre, located on Grande-Terre, serves as the economic and cultural hub of the islands. From here, travelers can easily explore the region’s diverse landscapes, from white-sand beaches and coral reefs to volcanic peaks and tropical rainforests.
Guadeloupe blends French sophistication with Caribbean warmth, offering a unique experience of Creole cuisine, colonial architecture, and natural wonders. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, this island group delivers a rich and varied day ashore.
