US Virgin Islands beaches with the ease of traveling at home
St. Thomas is a US territory, so the dollar is the currency, English is the language, and US phone plans generally work. Add one of the Caribbean's most famous beaches, a harbor full of duty-free shops and quick ferries to St. John, and it's easy to see why it's on so many Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries.
A sheltered, calm bay with a long arc of white sand — about 20 minutes by taxi from the pier.
US citizens receive a higher duty-free allowance in the US Virgin Islands than in most foreign ports.
Most of St. John is protected parkland; snorkel the marked underwater trail at Trunk Bay.
Ride the Skyride up to Paradise Point or drive to Drake's Seat for panoramas of the harbor.
No currency exchange, and your phone plan usually works as it does at home.
Shown as a guide only — every cruise line and sail date has its own route. Call us and we'll match real sailings to the dates you have in mind.
Yes — flights from most US cities are frequent, and starting in San Juan means more islands and fewer sea days. Arrive a day early to explore Old San Juan.
Ferries run regularly from Red Hook and the downtown waterfront. Allow plenty of time to return before all-aboard.
St. Thomas itself is US soil, but your cruise will visit foreign islands too. On a closed-loop sailing a birth certificate and photo ID are accepted for US citizens; a passport is still recommended.
Share a few details and one of our cruise specialists will shortlist the best-value sailings for your dates, then call you to talk them through — typically within 15 minutes in business hours.
