Ivan\'sThe morning fog lets up to a partly cloudy sky. The ship docks at Soper’s Hole, Tortola BVI to clear customs. We have a long wait after standing in line behind a ferry passenger crowd. We arrive at Norman Island by 11am. The ship anchors near the Indians outcropping of rocks. Swimmers swim to the caves. An alternative is the white sandy beach at Pirates Bight. Our rafts are handy. Lying face down we can see in the clear waters as fish swim under us. The bars on shore invite the happy hour bathing suit crowd of drinkers. In the cove the private condo ship “Seadreams Yacht Club” is anchored near us.
A buffet dinner of BBQ chicken, fish and ribs is served at Ivan’s. On the return ride to the ship we pass the “William T. Thorton”, the notorious night time hangout - too early for any action (8:30pm).
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
