Saint Lucia welcomed 37,691 stay-over visitors in January 2026, representing a 4% increase over January 2025, and a 2% increase over 2024, making it the highest January on record for the destination.

Saint Lucia’s cruise sector also experienced robust growth in January 2026. The destination recorded 150,323 cruise passengers, reflecting a 10.8% increase over January 2025, supported by three additional port calls during the month. This performance underscores Saint Lucia’s continued strength as a premier cruise destination in the Caribbean.

January’s performance is a testament to the resilience of our people, the strength of our tourism partnerships, and the strategic direction we have pursued as a destination. These results are not accidental, they reflect deliberate investment in airlift, community tourism, sustainability, and brand positioning. Most importantly, they demonstrate that Saint Lucia remains one of the Caribbean’s most desirable and competitive destinations.

While the UK market continues to face economic headwinds and airlift challenges, we remain actively engaged in strategic conversations with our airline partners to secure improved airlift out of the UK in the near future. The United Kingdom remains a critically important source market for Saint Lucia, and we are committed to strengthening connectivity and rebuilding momentum. A meeting was recently convened with the Saint Lucia Hospitality and Tourism Association to discuss strengthening support for the UK Market.
