MIAMI, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A sweet reunion is
in sight; Royal Caribbean International has set the date for its
much-awaited return to St. Thomas since the Caribbean destination was impacted by the
hurricanes last month. On Nov. 10,
the cruise line will make its way to St. Thomas for the first time
since early September with Adventure of the Seas.
In partnership with the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Royal Caribbean also has
committed to undertaking the complete restoration of Magens Bay,
one of St. Thomas' most popular tourist attractions – with plans
for a grand re-opening of the pristine destination during
Adventure of the Seas' visit on Nov. 10. With power and
water to the island fully restored and most downtown shops,
restaurants and bars and tour operators fully operational, guests
will be able to experience a diverse and extensive array of dining,
shopping and activities. Guests can enjoy boat and catamaran
excursions to explore the turquoise blue waters and abundant sea
life of the Caribbean and soak in
the sun at some of the region's best beach destinations: Secret
Sands Beach, Secret Harbor Beach Club, Lindquist Beach, Abi
Beach and Honeymoon Beach on Water Island.
"We are very excited to get back home to our friends in St.
Thomas. The Caribbean is our
family, having cruised there for nearly 50 years, and the
long-standing relationships created in all this time are
unwavering," said Michael Bayley,
President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. "We are committed
to doing everything we can to help and proud to support the
restoration of the iconic Magens Bay."
In addition to returning to St. Thomas on Nov. 10, Royal Caribbean has committed to
returning to San Juan, Puerto Rico
and St. Maarten by the end of
November and is working closely with local governments to announce
the exact dates.
By December 1, all scheduled calls
to the three islands will operate as planned – including calls from
the world's largest cruise ships each sailing with nearly 6,000 new
visitors each week – Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the
Seas and Harmony of the Seas. For more information on
