St Thomas Cruise

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Charlotte Amalie is one of the most beautiful ports in the world—postcard-perfect with charming small cottages set against blue waters and green hills. Just outside this vibrant port city, you’ll find ribbons of sandy beaches with swings. Explore colonial sites such as Blackbeard’s Palace or sip a pint of local brew at quirky microbreweries. And when it’s time to refuel, the beaches offer plenty of spots serving conch fritters, jonikacs, and coconut patties. Though St. Thomas is technically part of the U.S., with its colorful markets, secluded beaches, and steel drums, you’ll feel a world away—especially on cruises out of Charleston that bring you straight to this Caribbean paradise.

Panoramic Views of Paradise

St. Thomas Central Mountain Range provides endless opportunities for illuminating the ultimate panoramic selfie. The head of the Government Hill, the seat of the drake on the skyline drive, and the mountain top, which is 1,500 feet above sea level for the most brutal views.

Journey Into the Past

Away from Main Street, go to St. Thomas Sinagog and Frederick Luthern Church, the second oldest of its kind in each Western Hemisphere. Wait by Blackbirds Castle built in 1679, and see the largest collection of world-shaped pirate statues. Or climbing the great 99 steps manufactured by the 18th -century Danes, using bricks that once serve as a ship ballast.

Shopping

St. Thomas is the shelter of a Foody, and you will not find any shortage of local favorite serving bar and pubs like St. John Broverns Virgin Islands Beer and Blackbird Elle ™. West Indian fare, such as collolu (step -leafy greens) and Jonnikek (Cornmyl Flatbreads), is a predominant. And you can't completely leave some chocolate immersed coconut patties without trying. In restaurants and bars, you may want to add a gratuity of 15–20% to your bill if the service was particularly good.
