Antigua Cruise Port Launches “Name the Quay” Competition

Antigua Cruise Port has officially launched its national “Name the Quay” competition, unveiled during the opening of its new cruise terminal within the Upland Development site, marking a key milestone in The Next Chapter of cruise tourism in Antigua and Barbuda.

The competition invites Antiguans and Barbudans at home and across the diaspora to propose a name for the new Quay, which will join Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay in St John’s harbour, as part of the permanent landscape of Antigua Cruise Port.

This initiative offers a unique opportunity for the people of Antigua and Barbuda to help shape the next chapter of the country’s cruise tourism story by proposing a name that reflects our cultural identity, heritage, creativity, and future vision for cruise tourism.

Competition Guidelines:

• Open to all Antiguans and Barbudans locally and across the diaspora
• Each submission must include a brief explanation (maximum 100 words)
• Proposed names must be original and not currently in official use in Antigua and Barbuda
• Names should reflect national culture, heritage, identity, and a future vision for cruise tourism
• Final selection rests with the Antigua Cruise Port

Judging Criteria:

Submissions will be assessed based on:

• Reflection of Antiguan and Barbudan culture and identity
• Clear meaning and strong symbolism
• Originality, distinctiveness, and respectfulness
• Ease of pronunciation and timeless appeal
• Suitability for permanent public use

The grand prize winner of the “Name the Quay” competition will receive a cruise trip for two, offering an opportunity to experience the newly opened cruise terminal firsthand as part of an unforgettable homeporting cruise experience from Antigua and Barbuda.
