Over 100 Americans stranded in St Vincent following the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano on April 9 were transported out of the island on Friday to St Maarten.
The American embassy in Bridgetown said Royal Caribbean’s cruise ship, Celebrity Reflection carried 159 passengers, including 108 Americans, to Philipsburg for onward travel.
The embassy coordinated with Royal Caribbean for the departure at no cost to the passengers, following the closure of the Argyle airport in St Vincent last week because of the volcanic eruption.
“Our humanitarian relief efforts in St Vincent continue,” a media release from Royal Caribbean said.
