Southern Caribbean Cruises: St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands


St. Thomas is the most developed and cosmopolitan of the U.S. Virgin Islands, blending big-city ambience with endless natural beauty. Besides duty-free shopping with an extra allowance, there’s something for everyone, including renowned sport fishing, diving, snorkeling, and one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Magens Bay.

Your ship docks at Charlotte Amalie, the beautiful seaport capital with a picture-perfect village settled by the Danish in the 1600s, who presided over the Virgin Islands until selling it to the U.S. in the early 20th century. The harbor is home to a spectacular collection of vessels, from gypsy sloops to mega-yachts and everything in between.

And don’t miss the Coral World underwater observatory, the 1500-foot-high tram ride to Mountain Top, and the ferry to St. John.
