Virgin Atlantic has just launched a new route to St Vincent.

This is Virgin Atlantic’s first direct flight from Europe into St Vincent.

The twice-weekly service aims to capture the fast-growing demand to visit and reconnect with family and loved ones in the Caribbean island as well as sun-seekers looking to explore an untouched corner of the Caribbean.

The island also serves as the gateway to the Grenadines, a collection of 32 islands offering the perfect escape for those in search of a luxury break, eco adventure, scuba diving or sailing holiday.

Virgin Atlantic Holidays offers a selection of hotels on St Vincent and the Grenadines island of Bequia, which is an hour away by ferry.
