Virgin Islands, British cruises

Although it’s the capital of the British Virgin Islands, Road Town, on Tortola, is not the busiest port and while it may be one of the more understated destinations, there are still an array of activities to enjoy. The shopping opportunities will prove to uncover traditional, hidden gems, and those seeking a little retail therapy will find several upmarket boutiques and even a small, bustling market close to the port, with many restaurants where saltfish with boiled eggs, a traditional Caribbean dish, washed down with a Painkiller cocktail, a famous BVI cocktail, are highly recommended. For those wanting something more active, the Baths are a natural formation of huge boulders and intricate cave systems through which you can clamber and swim. Alternatively, for a more relaxing adventure, the calm Caribbean sea is ideal for a sailing lesson.
