The announcement from the Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) about the inaugural visit of Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas marks a significant milestone for cruise tourism in the region. Alongside this, VIPA also outlined changes to cruise schedules, which can affect local businesses, tourism planning, and passenger experiences.
