How to get to St. Kitts & Nevis

Air and sea routes to St Kitts and Nevis have been closed to travellers for many months, but airlines are once more able to take bookings now that we know the islands will be open again from October. The cruise industry, on the other hand, is more difficult to follow. We recommend anyone interested in arriving to St Kitts on a cruise should contact their preferred cruise company directly for accurate schedule information. 

Travel to St Kitts and Nevis is largely visa-free, with nationals of 152 countries not requiring visas for travel. Notable exceptions are Australia (apply online), New Zealand, and most African and Middle Eastern countries. 

From the USA

Three airlines have direct flights to St Kitts. From there, it is necessary to take a taxi to the pier and then a water taxi across to Nevis. This is a simple, efficient service that can be pre-booked by Nevis Style Realty, and can see you on a boat nipping between the two islands with a drink in your hand less than an hour after landing.

From Europe

By far the easiest route for European arrivals is to take the direct flight with British Airways to St Kitts. This operates two days a week from London's Gatwick airport, on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year. The collapse of LIAT means it is no longer advisable to fly into Antigua and take a connecting flight, ruling out BA on other week days or the Virgin Atlantic flights that land there three times a week.

As with US arrivals into St Kitts, passengers who want to travel to Nevis must take a taxi to the pier and then a water taxi across to Nevis; this can all be pre-arranged by NSR.

• BA direct from LGW to St Kitts is now bookable from October 3^rd.

Within the Region

Covid-19 has had a brutal impact on the world's airlines, with hundreds collapsing as global travel has come to a literal standstill. Please note that, at the time of writing, the Government of Puerto Rico requires all passengers to demonstrate a negative molecular Covid-19 test result, taken no more than 72 hours prior to arriving, or passengers must self-quarantine at their own expense.
