Where is the Fort-de-France cruise port?
Ships dock at two terminals. Pointe Simon, right downtown and next to the ferry terminal, serves transit calls and was extended for Oasis-class ships; the centre is about a 10-minute walk.
Tourelles, about a 15-minute walk north, was upgraded for homeporting with 15 check-in counters, X-ray screening, a large parking area and a marked walking route to town. A Cruise Village of local vendors, tourist-office booths and live music operates at both terminals on cruise days (8:30–16:30).
