Disembark from your cruise ship and get picked up right at the port to head to the railway station. Climb aboard the renowned St. Kitts Scenic Railway, originally built between 1912 and 1926 to deliver sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill in Basseterre.

Enjoy sugar cake (a local delicacy), fruit punch, and daiquiris as you take in the local landscapes. Travel along the northeastern coastline of the island to come across spectacular vistas of the ocean, surf, cliffs, and lush vegetation surrounding you.

Cross tall steel bridges spanning deep canyons and make your way through small villages and farms. See dark green rainforests skirted by rippling fields of sugar cane, with the volcanic cone of Mt. Liamuiga rising above the railway.

Allow your guide to point out all the sights as the train passes old sugar cane estates with abandoned windmills and chimneys. Admire St. Paul's Village, home of St. Kitts's first national hero Sir. Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw.

Discover Brimstone Hill Fortress and Old Road Town, where Sir Thomas Warner, founder of the English colony on St. Kitts is buried. Switch to a spacious bus to complete a full circle around the island before driving back to the port.
