Tortola Island BVI cruise port

Local Time 2024-06-20 12:39

Port Tortola Island BVI cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Tortola Island BVI, Road Town, UK Virgin Islands. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Tortola Island's cruise port Road Town is located on Baughers Bay. The island is part of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) - a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, located to the east of Puerto Rico (USA) . The other islands of the Virgin Islands archipelago constitute US Virgin Islands (USVI / aka American Virgin Islands) and the Spanish Virgin Islands ( Culebra and Vieques , both located to the east of Puerto Rico). The archipelago is part of the Leeward Islands (Lesser Antilles). Road Town is located approx 22 mi (35 km) from Charlotte Amalie (St Thomas USVI) .

Tortola Island was named by Christopher Columbus (Italian explorer and colonizer, 1451-1506). The name means "land of the turtle dove”. Tortola BVI attracts cruise tourists with amazing beaches and the fact that Road Town is not so “commercialized” like most of Caribbean cruise ports. The island's official language is English.

On April 29, 2015, was officially opened the expanded Tortola cruise pier. The revamped facility was renovated, widened and lengthened to accommodate larger vessels. The opening ceremony was attended by BVI Government officials and cruise industry representatives. During the event was announced that NCL Norwegian and Disney ships would be bringing around 425,000 cruise tourists to Totrola Island per year, or a 21% increase over 2015.

The new cruise ship facility in Road Town was first used by the NCL ship Norwegian Getaway (berthing here on April 29 / on the pier's opening day). During the Pier's construction works, many cruise ships had to anchor and ferry their passengers via tender boats, which made the port less attractive for travelers. The exclusive agreement with NCL and Disney also caused other cruise lines (including Carnival ) to drop Port Road Town from their Caribbean itineraries leaving roundtrip from the USA.

In 2023, BVIPA (British Virgin Islands Ports Authority) announced a record year with a total of 720392 cruise tourists, or 3% increase over the previous record year 2016 (699105 cruisers). In 2023, In 2023, BVI handled a total of 354 cruise ship calls, of which 232x at Tortola Cruise Ship Pier and the remaining 122x were ships handled at anchorage sites across the BVI (9x at Road Harbour/Tortola, 56x off Jost Van Dyke Island , 38x off Virgin Gorda Island , and 19x other).

Tortola Island BVI cruise terminal

Cruise ships to Tortola Island dock (anchor) at Road Town - port town on the central-southern coast. The port and its facilities are operated by BVI Port Authority. The city's business distict is within easy walking distance from the port.

Smaller-sized luxury ships and superyachts often use for berthing or tendering the Soper's Hole Marina (West Edn Tortola).

Road Town Cruise Pier (Tortola BVI)

Until 2015, Road Town port didn't have dedicated cruise terminal building.

With the new pier, Tortola cruise port has berthing capacity of two large-sized vessels at a time. If there are more than 2 vessels, one of them anchors in the bay and its passengers are tendered ashore to the Road Town Jetty. It is closer to downtown than the cruise pier.

Before the new pier project, at the end of the cruise pier was located a shelter where passengers were gathered before shore excursions/tours. The new termonal has a dedicated parking area. Local taxi service includes minivans and safari cabs. There is a taxi rank at the pier (close to Wickham's Cay or Soper's Hole).

A BVI license is needed for car rentals. The license is easily obtainable with a valid US driver’s license and costs USD 10. Be aware to drive on the road's left side!

Tourists willing to visit other British Virgin Islands from Tortola, there is a regularly scheduled ferry service. The island has two ferry terminals – at the west end (Soper's Hole) and at the east end (Beef Island). Regular ferry services are offered between Tortola and Cruz Bay (St John Island USVI) .

Tortola Pier Park

The cruise port development project resulted in building a new cruise terminal building.

In 2014 started the construction works on the port's new cruise ship dedicated complex "Tortola Pier Park". The new docking pier was completed by December 2014. Its construction included a total of 123 piles that were driven into the seabed to support the above structure (retail buildings).

The expanded cruise pier has total length 1039 ft (317 m) and width 60 ft (18 m). Additional 273 ft (83 m) docking space is provided by mooring dolphins, giving a total berthing space 1312 ft (400 m). The pier's capacity is 2 ships at a time (each vessel up to 180,000 GT tons).

Dredging started in November. It was required to lower the seabed to 37,5 ft (11,5 m) allowing such max draft for docking cruise vessels. The project's scheduled completion of the pier was April 2015, with the entire "Tortola Pier Park" complex to be inaugurated in summer 2015.

The "Tortola Pier Park" building cost is around USD 75 million. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and Disney Cruise Line were the projects main investors. Of the whole budget, USD 25 million was for the new pier and new excursion docks, Another USD 25 million were for the waterfront land development (area adjacent to the cruise pier). The BVI Government leased the land for a period of 48 years (with buy-out option at 15 and 30 years). The Tortola Pier Park design was developed by the US company IDEA (Orlando FL-based). This is a leading cruise port designer company that specializes in marine and waterfront port developments.

A separate concrete slab was built to support the flagship restaurant (part of Pier Park). The entire park includes 17 buildings, among which the cruise terminal, passenger welcome center, 2 restaurants, 1 pier bar, 1 shopping market, 1 chapel, 1 boat museum, 18 tourist kiosks.  The park's 2 main buildings are sized each approx 8000 ft2 (750 m2).

The construction plan was to transform Road Town's waterfront into a marketplace with festive events and tourist attractions. The waterfront development included building a new shopping village (with trolly cars for cruise passengers to explore it) plus a Ferris Wheel.

On February 16, 2016, was inaugurated Tortola Pier Park. Prior to its construction, British Virgin Islands received around 370,000 cruise passengers annually. For the 1 year period since the park's opening, BVI received almost 700,000 passengers. The new terminal's statistics for that period showed 11 maiden ship calls.

For the summer 2017, Tortola Pier Park planned special cruise terminal events, featuring live concerts and fun family activities.

Bomba’s Surfside Shack: located in Cappoon’s Bay. It is interesting palce to visit famous with its mushroom tea, Bomba Punch and logos saying “Girls with big boops: give Bomba a hug” and “Get naked for Bomba”. The decoration features bras and panties.

Sailing the British Virgin Islands: the best way to experience the islands. There are a lot of possibilities to enjoy the amazing blue and crystal water.

Scuba Diving: the best area is north from Tortola cruise port. You can easily access the place (Smuggler’s cove) walking. There is a vendor where you can rent all the equipment.

Willie T’s Floating Bar&Restaurant: the original wooden restaurant sank in 1995. This is the second one dating from 1996. You can enjoy nice cuisine and great party onboard. The restaurant leaves the Nanny Cay Marina at 5PM and returns usually at 11PM.

Tortola Cruise Port

Cruise ships dock at Road Town Cruise Pier , tucked in a beautiful Baughers Bay. The port consists of two berths that can accommodate two large vessels simultaneously. In case the port is busy, the third vessel may anchor in the bay and tender passengers ashore to the Road Town Pier.

Besides shops, the port area also has a passenger welcome center, a museum, tour booths, and a couple of restaurants and cafés, offering visitors the chance to try both local and foreign cuisines while taking in the views of Tortola’s tropical beauty.

Getting around the island is easy, by local open-air safari buses with bench-style seating. These are available near your cruise terminal and offer rides to popular tourist attractions. US dollars are widely accepted, and make sure to bring some cash on you as taxi drivers and many businesses do not accept credit cards.

A boat/ferry boat is another popular option to get to the nearby islands of Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. There are two docks on Tortola – in Road Town and West End (a 30-minute drive from the cruise port). There will be detailed information on how to get to Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke further in the article.

Indulge in the laid-back charm of Cane Garden Bay, a coastal gem within a short distance from the Tortola cruise port (around 20 minutes). This lovely bay is known for its pristine crescent-shaped beach, vibrant atmosphere, and a variety of activities that cater to different tastes.

For beach lovers, Cane Garden Bay offers a perfect escape with its soft, golden sands and clear turquoise waters.

The bay’s calm waters make it an ideal spot for both beginners and experienced water enthusiasts.

To explore beyond the beach, I highly recommend taking a short hike to the Callwood Distillery , where you can learn about the traditional process of making rum.

Must-try activities at The Baths include swimming in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the boulders and navigating through the natural corridors formed by these giant rocks. Snorkeling is a favorite pastime here, allowing you to discover the vibrant marine life. Don’t forget your water shoes for comfortable traversing over the boulders and through the shallow waters.

To get to Jost Van Dyke, you can either book a guided excursion or take a ferry from the West End (West End is a peninsula located on Tortola’s southwestern tip, about a 30-minute drive from Tortola cruise terminal). The New Horizon Ferry runs ferries between the West End and Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke and the ride takes about 30 minutes one way.

WHATSINPORT.COM: YOUR CRUISE GUIDE TO 1200 PORTS OF CALL

Interactive world cruise map, home | cruise ships | port expenses | hints and tips, roadtown tortola british virgin islands cruise port guide.

Most cruise ships calling at Tortola dock at the Cruise Pier in Road Town.  The pier is big enough to handle two large cruise ships simultaneously.  It was expanded in 2015 to enable it to accommodate ships up to 180,000 gross tons, which means that it can host every current cruise ship except an Oasis class ship. 

A new cruise complex has been constructed at the foot of the pier called Tortola Pier Park.  It is 80,000 square feet and in addition to an administration building there are 50 shops and restaurants.  There is also a place for land-tours to assemble and a separate pier for boat tours. It is only a short walk to town.

Monthly Climate Averages for Roadtown Tortola British Virgin Islands

Sightseeing:

Road Town, the Capital of the British Virgin Islands, surrounds the harbor like an amphitheater, its buildings stretching up into the hillsides in search of scarce land. The spacious, beautiful harbor at Road Town is a busy center of island life and marine activity in this tropical archipelago. Businesses, government, restaurants, hotels, charter boats, cruise ships, shops--all are here in Road Town. Beneath its placid tropical exterior, Road Town is very much an international city, at the crossroads of a continuing Caribbean maritime culture of upscale tourism and offshore finance.

About 80% of the BVIs’ 23,500 citizens live and work on Tortola.

In the heart of Main St, the stark whiterubble walls of HM Prison date back to the 18th century. The fortress is still a working jail.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Another way to see the island is to organize a readily available taxi 'tour'. Taxis are abundant on Tortola, and so long as you use a legitimate taxi association driver prices will generally allow you to travel anywhere you wish but for less than the cost of renting a car. Always ensure that you thoroughly confirm the fare charge before you get into the taxi.

Secluded palm-shaded beaches at Apple Bay, Brewer's Bay, Elizabeth Beach, Josiah's Bay Beach, Long Bay Beach and Smuggler's Cove make for excellent swimming and snorkeling. There are also many well-equipped facilities for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and more.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Plenty of ferries are near the cruise dock, making it easy to visit the other "Virgins". i.e The Baths on Virgin Gorda , also part of the British Virgin Islands. Trip takes about 25 minutes.

A long and lovely curved bay that’s sheltered from heavy winds, Cane Garden Bay on Tortola’s north shore is a favored anchorage for boaters. Swimming, windsurfing and other water sports attract tourists and BVI residents alike, who also enjoy the lively bars and restaurants that line the beach.

Shopping and Food

Cruise ship visitors, who want to stretch their "shopping" legs on land, can browse on the cay at the shops on Wickham's Cay.

The best location for shopping is across at quaint Main Street. Head toward the nearest hillsides across Waterfront Drive.

Crafts Alive Marketplace: A collection of gaily colored tents, on the Waterfront; while it sells some of the same batiks and tourist trinkets of marketplaces on other Caribbean islands, there are a handful of genuinely interesting stalls.

Where You Dock in Tortola – British Virgin Islands

Cruise ships dock at the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park in Road Town. The pier can handle two ships at a time. Built in a colonial style, the cruise and shopping center is located in Road Town.

This outdoor shopping mall has over 70 retail outlets, restaurants, and service centers, with shops open from 9am-6pm and restaurants open from 7am to midnight.

Wi-Fi, ATMs and washrooms are available here as well as car rentals.

Tortola Pier Park is quite wheelchair accessible with flat sidewalks and curb cut-outs, but sidewalks made up of interlocking brick or stone could make for a bumpier ride.

Getting Around Tortola – British Virgin Islands

You will be able to walk from the pier to the cruise facility in Road Town. If you just want to shop or browse, then Tortola Pier Park will have shops, restrooms, and eateries.

  Water Ferries

Going between islands is done by water ferries. They operate on a schedule, and information can be found in the Pier Park. You can catch a ferry at Road Town, Soper’s Hole and Beef Island. To get to Soper’s Hole or Beef Island, you will need a cab.

There are taxi stands at the Pier Park, Soper’s Hole or Wickham’s Cay. Safari cabs and mini vans are the typical mode of taxis. Avoid a safari cab if you are nervous on steep, winding roads, as there are so many of them on Tortola.

  Rental Cars

Shopping In Tortola – British Virgin Islands

When in Tortola, there are a few things that you might want to look for:

Local Rum: Most islands in the Caribbean make their own rum and Tortola is no exception.

Pottery: Local artists create one-of-a-kind pottery in Tortola. It is nice to know that the pottery here is made on the Island, not imported for tourists.

Jams and Jellies: These condiments are made from the fruits grown on the island and are something you won’t find in the grocery store at home.

Clothing: The island flair is recreated in Batik-designed dresses and shirts. If you are wanting just the regular vacation t-shirt, you can get one customized in some of the shops in Tortola.

Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park , where cruise ships dock, is an outdoor mall which has shopping, dining and entertainment, for locals and vistors alike.

In addition to  they offer nautical and tropical clothing, mugs and bags.

British Virgin Islands Post Office

If you, or someone you know, is into collecting stamps, philatelists from all over the world value the stamps from the BVI. The British Virgin Island post office on Main Street in Road Town sees many international visitors come to purchase the stamps with unusual and beautiful designs. While most philatelists don’t use the stamps they collect on pieces of mail, know that although the stamps carry U.S. monetary designations, they can only be used in the BVI.
