Creator's Key Takeaways
At first, riding in the open-air van felt a little tricky, especially when we started going up and down through the hills, but once you get used to it, it's actually a pretty fun way to see the island.
Tortola is a very hilly island, so you're not just driving straight from one stop to the next. You're climbing, turning, dropping back down, and then doing it all over again.
Our day was more scenic and easy-going, and I think that's what made it work.

Today our cruise stopped in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands aboard the Grand Princess with Princess Cruises. If you’re stopping in Tortola on a cruise and wondering what the day actually feels like, this video gives you a real look at our port day. We take a scenic island tour through Tortola in an open-air vehicle, starting near the cruise port in Road Town before riding through the hills, passing local landmarks, and spending time at Cane Garden Bay Beach. After the beach, we continue across the island toward Frenchman’s Cay and Pusser’s Landing before returning to the Tortola cruise port area for a walk along the boardwalk and a drink by the water. This is not a “top things to do in Tortola” video or a perfect travel guide. It is a real cruise stop experience showing what our day looked like from the Grand Princess — including the ride, the beach, the marina, the port area, and the slower pace of the island. In this Tortola cruise vlog, you’ll see: * Road Town and the Tortola cruise port area * Scenic open-air island tour views * Cane Garden Bay Beach * Local history and island scenery along the route * Frenchman’s Cay * Pusser’s Landing * Sailboats, marina views, and waterfront walking * The boardwalk near the cruise port * Our honest final thoughts on this Tortola cruise stop For us, Tortola was a relaxed and scenic cruise stop. Some travelers may experience the island through sailing, snorkeling, hiking, or beach-hopping, but our day focused more on the island ride, Cane Garden Bay Beach, Pusser’s Landing, and time around the port before returning to the ship. If you’re planning a Princess Cruises itinerary, sailing on the Grand Princess, or researching what to do during a Tortola cruise stop, this video should help you get a better feel for the experience.
