SarahD112 Posted January 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We’ll be on RCCL freedom this June and have been to St. Thomas several times. We’ve been to St. John’s as well. Is it feasible to go to Tortola for the day? How can it be done and what would you recommend we see/do there? We’re a group of 10, youngest is 13.

Ms411 Posted January 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Tortola is still struggling with hurricane recovery. Ferry service is limited. If you're cruising 2019 may be doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisinchristie Posted January 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm not sure that Tortola is doable from St. Thomas for a cruise stop and like the other person mentioned is still recovering as it was hit hard. We have been to St. Thomas a lot as well, and we started chartering a sailboat or a catamaran for the day with a captain. Gets you away from the crowds, swim/dive/snorkeling, lunch and drinks on the boat - it's a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailin Gal Posted January 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Ferry service between St. Thomas and Tortola doesn't always run as scheduled, and you cannot reserve a seat. I personally wouldn't try it unless the ship's next port is Tortola. And in that scenario, I would sooooo be on the ferry to Tortola! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted January 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Some of the ships used to have a Dolphin Swim excursion that took people to Tortola. That would be the only way I'd go to Tortola from St Thomas on a cruise. Not that I'd do the dolphin swim, but depending on how many hours the excursion is in Tortola might be worth it to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share who you have use to charter a sailboat for the day Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
