The archipelago of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), discovered by Christopher Columbus, is composed of 4 main islands: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke with an additional around forty small islets.

 

The cruise will make you discover the wonders of the British Virgin Islands. Tortola’s dense rainforest is home to a wide variety of animals such as lizards, monkeys, hawks and hummingbirds, while mahogany, mango and coconut trees dominate the vegetation. In the crystal clear waters of the archipelago, an abundance of marine life revolves around the coral reefs, where one can observe a multitude of fish. The breathtaking white sand beaches are also a must on this cruise.

 

Located near Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands archipelago is a territory of the United Kingdom, between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Only 16 of its 50 islands are inhabited. The capital, Road Town, is located on the island of Tortola. Once inhabited by pirates, these islands were colonized by the Spanish, Dutch and English. Today, these wonderful islands are full of natural treasures to discover.

 

Famous for its white sandy beaches and idyllic climate, the BVI was also home to the famous Blackbeard. Discover the history and landscapes of these islands in complete serenity.
