The Turks and Caicos Islands Receives Over One Million Cruise Passengers for 2025  

PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS – (December 19th, 2025) – The Turks and Caicos Islands has received over one million cruise passengers from January to November 2025.

The preliminary count of cruise passenger arrivals for the month of November 2025 was 111,727, 17 percent more than last November.  This growth follows the berthing of five additional calls in Grand Turk this month.

The preliminary count of cruise passenger arrivals for the month of October 2025 was 51,308, 53 percent less than last October. The decrease was the result of at least three cancellations due to the passage of Hurricane Melissa, and another 10 fewer calls scheduled than last October.

“Crossing the one-million passenger mark before year end is a major achievement for the Turks and Caicos Islands and a clear signal of the strength of our cruise sector,” said Minister of Tourism, Hon. Zhavargo Jolly. “While October was impacted by weather-related disruptions, November’s rebound demonstrates the resilience of the destination and the continued confidence cruise lines place in Grand Turk. Our ongoing focus is to ensure this growth is well managed and consistently translates into meaningful, long-term economic opportunities for Grand Turk and the wider community.”

January, February and July registered the highest number of passenger arrivals with 144,039 passengers in January, 138,931 passengers in February and 127,503 passengers in July.
