Because Barbados is an island, a mass of land surrounded by water, there are only two ways to get here: air or sea.

Barbados is a favorite stop for cruise ships, so that’s a somewhat preferred way of getting here. For ideas of what to do while traveling to Barbados for one day on a cruise ship, see our shore excursions page in the Barbados Vacation category below.

Barbados is the most easterly island in the Caribbean island chain. St. Lucia is the closest country to us. We are southeast of the United States of America, west of Africa, southwest of the United Kingdom, and northeast of Venezuela.

If a cruise ship isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy traveling to Barbados by sailing from any of our neighboring islands.

During the winter months, the beaches and bays of Barbados are usually occupied by people sailing around the world and who have come stopped to visit our island.
