| Basseterre, St. Kitts (12 November 2022) Congratulations to St. Kitts as it welcomes inaugural cruise call of the revolutionary vessel “Voyager of the Seas.” The vessel boasts of its guest capacity of 3,602 passengers and its 15 decks of exhilaration. The ship is ideal for adventure lovers as it provides twin-racer waterslides, a rock-climbing wall, a full-size basketball court, an ice-skating rink, and a Battle for Planet Z laser tag.

I welcome Voyager of The Seas to our beautiful island with great pleasure.
