Green Light for Cruise Port Expansion in Virgin Islands
The Board of Governors has approved the Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) to progress on the expansion of its cruise ports on St. Croix and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, USA.
In St. Croix, there is a collaborative effort between Royal Caribbean Group (RCG) and VIPA to enable the visitation of larger ships to Frederiksted, aiming to enhance unique guest experiences. Simultaneously, in St. Thomas, VIPA, RCG, and Cruise Terminals International (CTI) are dedicated to the Crown Bay cruise port, aiming to strengthen the US Virgin Islands' standing as a premier cruise ship destination.
The development project encompasses a significant revitalization of the Subbase and Crown Bay area on St. Thomas. This involves the modernization of the Crown Bay Center to elevate the guest experience and potentially expand the Austin "Babe" Monsanto Marine Terminal.
