Cruises Cruises Plan a Cruise Cruise Lines Destinations From Linda Garrison, your Guide to Cruises The Arabella sailing ship doesn't have Las Vegas style entertainment, a state-of-the-art gym, or luxurious suites with balconies. The Arabella does have billowing sails overhead, visits to quiet coves and beaches, and no crowds or lines. It's a great ship for a relaxing week in the Caribbean. Arabella Cruise Travel Log - Sailing the BVI All types of cruises offer terrific vacation opportunities, but those looking for a relaxing week in the Caribbean might enjoy the Arabella, a 40-passenger, 160-foot sailing yacht. What's different about a sailboat? Join me for a week on the Arabella. Arabella Photo Gallery These photos from around the Arabella demonstrate some of the key differences from a cruise ship. It's definitely cozier, but still has great food, a friendly crew, and excellent opportunities for fun onboard, in the water, and ashore. Treasure on Norman Island? The Arabella spent a day on uninhabited Norman Island, allowing us the chance to explore the sea caves and look for Blackbeard's treasure. (Note: We didn't find it, but still enjoyed the excellent snorkeling.) Tortola - Largest Island in the BVI The Arabella anchored overnight at the West End of Tortola, and the next day we did a driving tour of the island. It's much larger and more developed than the other islands we visited, providing a nice contrast.
