The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Evrima made its inaugural name to Virgin Gorda on Friday, December 16, earlier than transferring on to Jost Van Dyke.
The Evrima made a name to the Virgin Islands throughout its seven-night cruise that departed from Phillipsburg, St. Maarten to San Juan, Puerto Rico carrying 285 passengers and 212 crew members onboard.
After visiting the Virgin Islands, the ship accomplished the itinerary and concluded the cruise in Puerto Rico.
To commemorate the Evrima’s inaugural name to the Territory, a plaque was offered on behalf of the Government and other people of the Virgin Islands to Captain Duncan Holroyd, the captain of the Evrima.
The plaque change ceremony was attended by the Acting Governor David D. Archer Jr., Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr. Natalio D. Wheatley, Deputy Premier and Minister for Communications and Works Kye M. Rymer, Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development Shereen D. Flax-Charles, Director of the BVI Tourist Board Clive McCoy, Marketing Director for the BVI Ports Authority Natasha Chalwell, and port brokers from the Romasco Group, Patricia Romney and Sabrina Koss.
The arrival of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to the Virgin Islands highlights the renewed deal with the cruise trade.
The Evrima set sail from San Juan, Puerto Rico on December 18 and can make calls in Bridgetown, Barbados, Mayreau Islands, Grenadines, Bequia Island, Port Elizabeth, Grenadines and Roseau, Dominica earlier than returning to San Juan on December 28.
