Guest Comments:
We had very high expectations for the trip. Perhaps they weren't realistic but we hoped for something very, very special. Charlie and Dixie made this trip ALL we had hoped for.... and more! They were accommodating, friendly, nice, UNBELIEVABLE cooks and host ... hostess, knowledgeable, they let us do what we wanted to do, go where we wanted to go and did everything they could to make us comfortable.

Everyone who is planning a trip to the BVI should go with Liahona and take Dixie and Charlie as their captain and crew.

Liahona is a beautiful ship in excellent shape. The itinerary in the BVI was exceptional.
