Historic First: Iona and Avira Dock Together in the British Virgin Islands
Premier Dr. the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley and Junior Minister of Tourism Luce Hodge officially welcomed Iona and Avira, sister ships from P&O Cruises, during a ceremonial event at the port. The occasion marked the inaugural call of Iona to the British Virgin Islands and the first instance of the two sister ships docking together in the territory.
Iona and Avira, vessels from P&O Cruises, a prominent British cruise line, visited the Virgin Islands as part of their scheduled itineraries. The dual presence of the sister ships highlights the role of the BVI in the cruise industry and its capacity to accommodate vessels of significant size.
Passengers and crew from both ships were welcomed at the port before venturing out to experience the Virgin Islands. This dual docking highlights the increasing popularity of the BVI as a cruise destination.
