The Grand Turk Cruise Center, with direct beachfront access, is a first-class cruise 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 year-round berthing. 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 fresh water swimming pools in the Caribbean. One can also stroll along the idyllic beach, relax in a complimentary chaise lounge and even rent a private air-conditioned poolside cabana for the day.

For guests in need of a little island pampering, a beach-side massage service offered by Spa Anani is sure to melt away any tension one may have. 

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 & Colomubian Emeralds, Diamonds International, Effy Jewelers, Goodmark Jewelers, Ron Jon Surf Shop©, Piranha Joes, Dizzy Donkey, Silver Emporium, Del Sol, Rasta Pasta, Royal Jewels, Indigo Pearls, Goldsmith, and The Trading Post at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.

Within the cruise center, there is a four-acre transportation hub that provides access to taxis, vans and buses for all land-based departures and excursions. For water borne excursions, there is a small pier to easily accommodate those excursions right from within the welcome center.
