St. Thomas
St. Thomas, with its beautiful harbor, is the most visited port in the Caribbean, welcoming both cruise ships and private yachts. The happening place is definitely Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the US Virgin Islands. While in St. Thomas, be sure to climb aboard the Paradise Point tramway to get a bird's eye view of St. Thomas, Charlotte Amalie and the harbor. Accomodations on the island range from small guesthouses, private houses and villas, to luxurious all-inclusive resorts.
From St. Thomas, passenger ferries will take you to St. John and St. Croix (depending on the season). A nice benefit of vacationing on any of the US Virgin Islands is the ability to easily see the other 2 islands, a 3 in 1 vacation! From St. Thomas, you can also also visit Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands.
