Planning Tips
-
Destination
The Christos Anesti sails from and returns to its home port in Tortola, BVI. Depending on the length of your cruise and itinerary, you might visit other islands, but plan on arriving and departing from Tortola.
-
Traveling Companions
You can travel with family or friends, with up to 10 (including yourself) charter guests. It's helpful to know how much cruising or British Virgin Island experience each person has. Knowing this enables you to plan a trip where new visitors can experience the best of the islands while more seasoned visitors can have new experiences.
-
Cruise Objectives
To plan the best possible experience, it helps to have defined objectives. What's the primary goal of the cruise—relaxation, discovery, celebration of an event or milestone, or other reason? Having a clear goal makes it easier to plan itineraries and activities.
-
Cruising Dates
Cruising season runs from November to May. As with any travel, remember to consider the related air travel costs and potential for delays during peak holiday and school vacation times when planning your trip.
-
Payment Terms
A deposit is required at time of booking your cruise, and balance payments are made in accordance with your charter contract. Our concierge works with you throughout the entire process to answer questions.
-
