Divi Resorts Flash Sale in Barbados Presents Cruise Passengers with Extended Harbour Options

Divi Resorts, which operates properties across Aruba, Bonaire, and Barbados, has announced a Memorial Day flash sale allowing guests to book seven nights for the price of six at rates from $141 per night, provided reservations are made by 27 May 2026. For passengers disembarking at the Bridgetown Harbour, this programme offers a practical means to extend a port call into a land-based itinerary without bearing the full cost of an additional night’s accommodation. The resort’s Barbados wing sits within reasonable proximity of Carlisle Bay Marine Park, where six distinct shipwrecks—ranging from the First World War-era Berwyn to the deliberately scuttled Ce-Trek—form an artificial reef system of documented archaeological importance across the centre of the protected zone. All snorkellers must maintain a buddy system while traversing the park boundaries, as detailed in the visitor regulations.

The Ce-Trek, a tugboat intentionally sunk in 2003, rests at a maximum depth of twelve metres; its intact wheelhouse and rusting hull plates are now colonised by zoanthids and demosponges that provide habitat for juvenile reef fish and invertebrates. The vessel’s 21-metre length creates a linear corridor through the sand substrate that divers frequently traverse in mild current conditions. No glass containers are permitted on the beach.

Historical port records indicate that the Berwyn, a 70-foot French tug abandoned in the bay in 1919 following the end of the Great War, lies at approximately three metres on a sandy bottom near the centre of the anchorage, rendering its steam boiler, anchor winch, and bow rail clearly visible from the surface without specialised equipment. Archaeological surveys note that its riveted steel plates represent early twentieth-century shipbuilding techniques rarely preserved in Caribbean waters. Touching the wrecks is strictly prohibited under park regulations.

Cruise tourists arriving at Bridgetown Harbour can reach the marine park via taxi or public transport in roughly ten minutes, though visitors should consult the harbour transport guide to confirm current schedules and authorised vehicle operators. Those requiring further detail on the individual vessels may consult the shipwreck documentation. Diving within the park requires a visible surface marker.

While the flash sale supplies an economical basis for an extended stay, passengers should note that the offer expires imminently and applies specifically to the Barbados property. After surveying the wrecks, visitors may proceed to the Oistins Fish Fry for local fare, or examine the subterranean geology at Harrison’s Cave before returning to the terminal. Fines for removing artefacts are enforced without exception.
