ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- The Territory welcomed the inaugural call of the MSC Virtuosa, on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.

MSC Virtuosa’s namesake comes from the word virtuoso, meaning someone highly skilled in any field of activity, and so MSC Virtuosa was named to pay homage to the skill and expertise of the MSC Cruises architects and shipyard partners at Chantiers de l’Atlantique who designed and built this innovative class of ships.

The vessel was slated to spend the day at the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park with 1160 crew and 2633 guests.

To commemorate this occasion, a plaque exchange ceremony was held where a plaque was presented on behalf of the Government and people of the Virgin Islands to the captain of the Virtuosa, Captain Christopher Pugh commemorating the vessel’s inaugural call to the Territory.
