'Known as a counter celebration to the infamous Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is now celebrated in many parts of the Americas. Many now recognize the fact that Christopher Columbus murdered and enslaved the people he found in this hemisphere of the world.

​As West Indians and Virgin Islanders, many of us have Indigenous heritage and ancestry. As a result, we celebrate today October 14, 2019 as Indigenous Peoples' Day and we commemorate the contributions and sacrifices of the Caribs, Arawaks, Taino, Ciboney and all of the original people of our beloved Virgin Islands and their descendants.

Today, August 7, 2019, Love City Car Ferries, Inc. turns 22 years old! We are excited that you have allowed us to serve residents and visitors of these beloved Virgin islands. In that time, we have transported approximately 2,190,276 vehicles and 3,768,886 passengers. We look forward to continuing to serve you. To our current staff, former staff, and vendors who have helped us along the way, we say a heart felt thank you. To our customers, we exist only to serve you. Let us toast to many, many,  more years to come:)

The vessel will operate its full schedule. Enjoy the holidays.

Memorial Day is the day that we memorialize those who bled and died while still in military service or as a result of wounds sustained during their time of service. It's distinct from Veteran's Day because Veteran's Day honors all Veterans living or dead, whether they served in war time or times of peace. At 3:00 pm local time, the national moment of remembrance, let us take a moment to thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We are forever grateful.

• The common red field poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is a symbol of Memorial Day;
• Memorial Day began as a result of the Civil War;
• On May 5, 1868 Major General John A. Logan issued General Orders NO. 11 set aside May 30, 1868 for decorating the graves of the fallen;
• Memorial Day was first called Decoration Day;
• President Ulysses S. Grant presided over the first Memorial Day ceremony;
• The National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 pm local time was established by Congress in 2000.

Update on our fleet: Love City Car Ferries, Inc. operates 3 car ferries in the Virgin Islands, M/V Capt Vic, M/V Island Vic and M/V Grand Vic. As many of you may already know, the M/V Island Vic was destroyed in the storms. She is not fixed yet because we used her insurance money as seed money for the building of the Grand Vic. Island Vic will be refurbished as soon as we can fully recoup financially.

You may be wondering, however, what's up with the Capt Vic. That vessel worked tirelessly after the storm and is still a viable vessel for operation. However, we've paid Subbase Dry-dock our deposit since November of 2018 for her bi-annual dry-docking and we are still waiting our turn. Apparently they have a big project going on and we are next in line. Until then, we prefer not to harass Capt Vic too much. We believe she needs some tender loving care, which leaves the M/V Grand Vic.

Grand Vic is available for your transportation needs between St. Thomas and St. John. Please keep in mind that we only operate the Vic branded ferries, which are black and white vessels . If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us at 340-779-4000 during our office hours of Mondays to Fridays between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you on board the M/V Grand Vic.

On Easter Monday, Love City Car Ferries, Inc standard rate for small trucks and regular sized vehicles is $40.00 round trip. Have a happy Easter and enjoy this $10.00 discount*.

*Discount does not apply to commercial vehicles any private vehicles larger than the fare of the standard size.

For the past several years, Love City Car Ferries, Inc. has extended a Sunday church discount for individuals attending church on St. Thomas who reside on St. John. Those individuals paid $25 round trip. Unfortunately, due to abuses we can not control, we are hereby ceasing the Sunday church discount and everyone including those patrons will have to pay the standard rate. This does not affect any complimentary and or discounts for pastors etc that are part of our regular complimentary list.

Thank you for your understanding.

Reminder: Love City Car Ferries, Inc operates the Vic branded black and white car ferries. If the vessel does not have Vic in its name, you have boarded another company’s vessel. We do not operate all the car ferries in the Virgin Islands. Keep our brand in mind if you desire to do business with us. Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day.
