The Grand Turk Cruise Center, with direct beachfront access, is a first-class facility nestled among nearly 14 acres of landscaped grounds. The cruise center’s location and the island’s geography offer vessels a safe approach and berthing year-round. The short walk from the berthed ships to the cruise center (approximately 390 feet) allows guests ease of embarking and debarking at their leisure.

Visitors can either swim or snorkel in the ocean’s sparkling waters or in one of the largest swimming pools in the Caribbean. Stroll along the idyllic beach, relax in a chaise lounge or covered beach chair and even rent a private cabana for the day or enjoy a sea side massage. The cruise center is also home to a Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, a fun and exciting place the whole family can enjoy. 

Visitors to the cruise center have the opportunity to peruse a 45,000 sq. ft. shopping center which includes a 10,000 sq. ft. Dufry duty-free shop, and 35,000 sq. ft. of high-end jewelry stores, an array of unique and world-renowned apparel and t-shirt stores, locally crafted souvenirs and gifts, and food and beverage facilities. This includes merchants such as Dufry, Goodmark Jewelers, Ron Jon Surf Shop©, Piranha Joes, Dizzy Donkey, Silver Emporium, Del Sol, Rasta Pasta, Bonefish Charlie's, Starfish Oils, Royal Jewels, Indigo Pearls, Goldsmith, The Trading Post at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
Within the cruise center, there is a four-acre transportation hub that provides taxis, vans and buses for all land-based departures/excursions. For water borne excursions, we have constructed a small pier to easily accommodate those excursions right from within the welcome center.
