Other than the rather obvious sea, sun, and sand, it is history that plays a large part in St Kitts and Nevis vacation packages that appeal to all kinds of people. Each island has its own capital city, although it's hard to call Charlestown on Nevis a "city," since its population isn't even over 2,000. However, it boasts some lovely old colonial buildings as well as the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and the Horatio Nelson Museum that contains the largest collection of memorabilia about the famed admiral in the Western Hemisphere. Basseterre on St Kitts is the oldest city in the eastern Caribbean, with wonderful old colonial architecture. Another feature of St Kitts vacations relating to history is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brimstone Hill Fortress from which English cannons bombarded French Charlestown in the seventeenth century.

A bonus for St Kitts vacations that take you to Brimstone Hill is the magnificent scenery from the site. More magnificent scenery is available from the backdrop of Mount Liamuiga, which towers over the historic fortress. Trekking to the summit of this volcanic peak is a challenging hike rewarded by breathtaking panoramic views. Part of the history of both these islands is the production of sugar cane, grown on plantations worked by slaves from Africa. You can travel through some of this history on the scenic St Kitts Railway or you can stay in one of several lovingly restored old plantation inns.

Thousands of passengers disembark each year to enjoy a variety of activities while their ship is docked here for a couple of nights before moving on to another island.
