Cruisers Visiting St. Croix to Have Easier Time Navigating Long Pier
by Dori Saltzman
In response to a request from Royal Caribbean Group, the U.S. Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) has purchased a new electric trolley to be deployed at the Abramson Cruise Pier in Frederiksted, St. Croix. The 38-passenger trolley will be available to cruise passengers who need help traversing the 1,526-foot cruise ship pier.
“RCG has kept its promise to bring 140,000 cruise visitors to Frederiksted,” said VIPA executive director Carlton Dowe. “VIPA is now proud to deliver on our pledge to make the arrival experience at our pier in Frederiksted more accessible for our visitors.”
The trolley will operate in both directions (to and from the ship and the end of the pier), and is ADA-compliant.
