A Caribbean eSIM for Island Hopping and Cruise Ports
A Caribbean eSIM is a prepaid data plan for 20+ countries and territories that lives on your phone, so the same eSIM works whether you're landing in Jamaica or stepping off a ferry in Antigua. Every island has its own networks, and this saves you buying a new SIM on each one.
That matters in a region where a single holiday can touch four or five islands. A week split between Saint Lucia and Grenada, a villa stay in Anguilla with a day trip to the British Virgin Islands, or a cruise calling at Nassau and San Juan all run on one plan.
You pay once, upfront, which helps you avoid daily roaming charges from your home carrier. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts, and if you need more data mid-trip, Caribbean plans support top-ups.
Caribbean eSIM Coverage in 20+ Countries
Caribbean eSIM connects to major local networks on each covered island. The list includes the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico in the north, the Leeward and Windward Islands from Anguilla, Montserrat and Saint Kitts and Nevis down to Dominica, Guadeloupe and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, plus Curaçao, El Salvador and French Guiana.
Data is most dependable in towns and along the coast, around places like Bridgetown and Seven Mile Beach. Mountain interiors are a different matter: signal can drop out in the rainforests of Dominica, the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, so save offline maps before a hike.
On a cruise, the eSIM works in port on covered islands but not at sea. Out on open water, use the ship's Wi-Fi and keep data roaming off on your home SIM.
Fly from Barbados to Grenada or take the ferry to Montserrat without hunting for a new SIM at each arrival.
Add more data in a few taps if a two-week stay turns into three, rather than buying a fresh eSIM.
Check what's left in your EscapeSIM dashboard and get a warning before you run low on a long day ashore.
Message 24/7 support if your eSIM won't connect after a ferry crossing or an early cruise arrival.

Why Travellers Choose Our Caribbean eSIM
Sizes for Short Breaks and Long Stays
Caribbean plans run from 1 GB up to 30 GB, with validity from 14 days up to 60 days. A quick beach week and a season of island hopping both fit.
The small 1 GB and 2 GB sizes suit a short stay where you mostly need maps, messaging and the odd booking.
Bigger sizes from 10 GB upward last 30 days, enough for daily photo uploads and some video calls home.
Made for Cruise Passengers
Cruise days ashore are short, so having data the moment you step off the ship counts. Your eSIM connects to local networks in covered ports, while the ship handles connectivity at sea.
Ship cellular networks are usually billed as roaming by your home carrier, so switch that SIM's roaming off once you're on board.
Ports such as Nassau, Bridgetown and San Juan are all on the covered list, so you can book tours and check your return time on eSIM data.
Wider Plans for Longer Routes
If your trip carries on beyond the islands, a wider Americas plan covers 21 countries with sizes from 3 GB to 30 GB.
Check that each stop on your route is on that plan's list before you buy, since it covers a different set of places from the Caribbean plan.
For trips that stay on the islands, the Caribbean plan is the simpler choice and supports top-ups.
A Fixed Cost Instead of Home Roaming
Travellers flying in from Australia, the UK and elsewhere often pay a daily roaming fee in the Caribbean. A prepaid Caribbean eSIM swaps that for one upfront cost.
Make the eSIM your mobile data line when you land so your home carrier isn't used for data, while calls and texts can still reach your usual number.
Because the plan is prepaid, the data side of your trip costs what you paid for it and nothing more.

Everyday Data Moments in the Caribbean
These are the moments when having data on arrival saves time. Your eSIM handles them without a Wi-Fi hunt.
Port Days
Book a taxi and check the all-aboard time during a cruise around the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
Heritage Train Rides
Share photos while exploring the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, though signal can thin out on the far side of the island.
Rainforest Days Out
Look up trailheads and opening times before walking the hiking trails of Saint Lucia.
One eSIM Across the Caribbean
Your Caribbean eSIM stays ready to connect as you move from one covered island to the next. On arrival, your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks, so there's no new SIM to buy at each airport or port.
Who Our Caribbean eSIM Suits
Book shore excursions and message the group in each covered port, without paying for ship roaming.
Move between Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Saint Lucia on one eSIM and one data balance.
Check trail conditions before climbing the Pitons of Saint Lucia, with offline maps ready for the stretches without signal.
Spend a winter in the Bahamas or Barbados on a 60-day plan and top up if you need more.
Caribbean eSIM Questions
A Caribbean travel eSIM is a prepaid, data-only plan that installs on your phone and works across the covered islands and countries in the region. You buy it online, install it before you leave and switch your data to it when you arrive, with no physical SIM to collect.
Yes. One eSIM works on every island included in your plan, so visiting Barbados and then Saint Lucia doesn't need a second plan. When you arrive on a new island, your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks there. Keep Data Roaming switched on for the eSIM.
Only in port, and only on covered islands. Once the ship is out of range of land networks, the eSIM has no signal, and any onboard cellular service is billed by your home carrier as roaming. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM before sailing and use ship Wi-Fi at sea.
Maps, messaging, browsing and some social media come to roughly 0.5 GB a day, so a week of light use fits in a 5 GB plan. Video streaming and video calls use about 1 GB per hour, so choose a bigger size if you do either. Track usage in your EscapeSIM dashboard and top up if needed.
No. These are data-only plans with no new phone number. Your home SIM stays active, so you keep your usual number for calls and texts. To call hotels, drivers or tour operators, use internet calling in apps like WhatsApp over your eSIM data.
For most trips, yes. Home carriers usually charge for roaming by the day, while a prepaid eSIM is one upfront cost for your travel data. Install it before you fly, set it as your data line on arrival, and keep your home SIM for calls and texts.
Yes. Your phone has to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models support eSIM. If you bought your phone on a contract, ask your carrier to confirm it is unlocked before you travel.
It depends on your islands and how long you stay. For trips that stay in the region, the Caribbean plan covers the widest list of islands and supports top-ups. If your route continues further afield, check the wider Americas plan. Every plan is prepaid, with a usage dashboard and 24/7 support.
