Beware, this is a party cruise.

This is a party cruise. Loud music, lots of drinking, etc. If you are expecting a sightseeing cruise, book elsewhere.

A little over crowded.

Let me start by saying the crew was excellent, very nice and helpful through out the entire trip. They made sure everyone was safe and was always checking on everyone to make sure our experience was a good one. The only feedback I would give is. I think there were to many guest for the size of the catamaran. Even if you all are allowed to carry that many guest, the experience could be much more with just a few less guest. The catamaran felt over crowded and people were playing musical chairs due to limited seating. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves. Probably wouldn't book again due to the over crowded feel but hey it is what it is i guess.

Great cruise! Recommend!

The cruise and the crew were a lot of fun and great experiences on the island. The only reason for one star deduction is that it was too crowded on the boat . A smaller number would have been more enjoyable.

We did this excurison in 2022 and it was just as impressive in 2025

Mud bath, Volcanic Sulphur Springs, Toraille Waterfall such a wonderful experience We were collected by coach at from the Royalton Hotel and driven to Castries port where our adventure began. We set off from Castries Port on the Queen of the Carnival catamaran to the west coast of St Lucia. The boat was immaculately clean and in pristine condition with good toilet facilities. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. They very kindly offered to take photos of us, nothing was too much trouble. We were given a light breakfast on the boat of a selection of rolls and fresh bananas. later we were offered snacks of delicous fruit cakes. As we sailed to Soufriere we saw the fabulous ocean views and scenery, including the stunning Pitons Mountains – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and passed the fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries. When we arrived at Soufriere we took a shuttle bus to choose either the Sulphur Springs mud bath or take a tour of the drive-through volcano. We choose the mud bath which was an amazing experience. Next we went to Toraille Waterfalls with amazing scenery. We eat our delicious lunch on the Catamaran whilst maurd. After lunch we boarded the boat to sail to Marigot Bay for a spot of swimming and snorkelling. As the day was coming to an end we sailed back to Castries with music from the DJ, dancing and rum punch. T The drinks were flowing with rum punch, beer and soft drinks. Rum punch was in a keg with fruit juice, rum, cinnamon and nutmeg absolutely delicous. We really enjoyed dancing with the other guest to the classic dances organised by the crew, the music was fabulous. I would highly recommended this excursion and it was great value for money and the staff were such a fun crew and kind, nothing was too much trouble for them.
