Brig Unicorn ever coming back to St Lucia?

[Marylandteachergirl]

There used to be day sails on a pirate type excursion on the ship Brig Unicorn. It's a tall ship. Currently, the excursion is offered, but on a smaller ship. Does anyone know if the Brig Unicorn will be sailing from St Lucia again?

depends on when/if the company who owns her is planning to restore her and put her back into sailing. She sustained a little damage in the hurricane last year and is very old - needs a lot of locing care to be returned to sailing. No idea when - or if - that will be. The other ship is great also.

I am really hoping they are able to get it up and running, we did the tour on it in 2010 and it was so much fun. My DD loves the Pirate movies and that is the main reason we wanted to have a port stop in St L, but we have 435 days till we sail, so maybe they will get the repairs made.

We also did it in 2010 and loved it!!! Anyone know how the replacement ship is?:confused:

Just that it is called "Liana's Ransom,". While it does look like a pirate ship from days gone by, it is not a tall ship like The Brig Unicorn.

The fact that the Brigg Unicorn was used in the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean added to the charm They passed a photo album around of the stars on the ship. Pretty cool. I will miss it :(

Any new updates on the Birg Unicorn? :confused:

I don't think it is coming back. Their website now says the ship has been retired. That leads me to believe it is not returning. Sorry. The other ship, Liana's Ransom is great also. Just not used in Pirates!

Thanks for the update - kind of takes the wind out of my sails :( my DD will be disappointed - but maybe we can pretend Liana's Ransom is the Birg Unicorn ;)

 

I'll have to see if Royal still has that excursion

Don't know if this helps but just got off the Adventure they had a tour in Antigua on the Black Swan from the movie. We didn't go on the tour but could see the ship from our balcony they seemed to b having a great time.

Thank you so much for this information - my DD really wants to sail on a tall ship - she is a Pirates of Caribbean movie buff!!

I will see if I can find this excursion – do you know if it was through Royal or an independent company?

The tour is from the cruise line they have 2 different times. I know it's from the movie but not as big as the brig Unicom
