      Their shore activities are different to other cruise lines - options to go to De Coal Pot and learn how to cook traditional food, visiting local farms and other local venues. One thing that isn't featured? The Baths on VG. Passengers will have to figure out their own way to get there if they want to get herded with the other thousands of people visiting.

    As nice as his islands may be, I don't see 2770 people fitting on them.

    ????????BREAKING: Richard Branson the billionaire that joined the next space race has been named in the Jeffrey Epstein files that released today. The victim claims Jeffrey Epstein has tapes of Branson having intercourse with other victims.

    I got shadow banned when I was at 200k followers each time I tried to expose Richard Branson, more than 3 times have I attempted to speak on his Virgin Airline company his countless donations to children focused organizations, the bizarre reports of ‘Adrenochrome harvesting’ and his island that President Obama and many celebrities attend.

    Maybe I can expose all of the files I have on Richard Branson now that X no longer submits to advertisers.

      This so called victim Sarah Ransome has been discredited and unable to produce any such evidence . This is simply trial by media and the ability to defame someone's character by simple accusation. A publicity grab by a wanna be model trying to get fame and tik tok clicks.

    A Rocket was seen blasting into space Sunday evening over the Bvi and it didn't make the news. Who was in it?

    Too often we look to the weathy ex-pats that live here or have estates in the BVI for financial assistance when in fact we have something of much higher value that we ignore .....access . These folks have built fortunes and have some of the greatest technical expertise and business acumen and would be happy if asked to help solve some of our issues . But instead we just want money . The free adverstining for the BVI that Sir Richard gets just from being a belonger on many of his TV and documentary apperances is worth millions and he is and has been a great ambassador . Imagine what could be accomplished if there was true collaboration with these folks . But without a sincere invitation I am certain many would not feel comfortable of givng their opinion/input for fear of being accused of trying to "run things" . That is not to discount any of the expertise of BVIslanders but rememeber these individuals haves access to people and resources that even advanced developed nations don't .
