Ports & destinations

On Saturday, March 28, Carnival Liberty became the very first ship to berth at the newly renovated pier. The ship docked alongside the north eastern berth, which was completed a few weeks ago. Work continues to have the entire pier ready in time for the official opening on April 29, when the BVI will host Norwegian’s Getaway, one of the larger classes of ships now on stream. At present, the pier has been lengthened to 1,039 feet, with mooring dolphins adding 273 feet, giving a total of 1,312 feet of berthing space. Once completed, the pier will be 60 feet wide, and will accommodate two ships of 180,000 gross registered tonnage.
