What's great about Charlotte Amalie cruises?
Charlotte Amalie’s the capital of the island of St Thomas. Christopher Columbus first landed here in 1493, and since then everyone from Blackbeard to the US Navy have used it as a base. It’s known for its deep natural harbour, Danish architecture and Fort Christian – the oldest building in the Virgin Islands archipelago, which is now an antique-filled museum.
- You’ll find most of the city’s jewellery shops and souvenir boutiques in the downtown district. You can buy everything from diamond earrings to sea-glass bracelets here.
- If you’re looking for a quiet day out on turquoise water, book a laidback catamaran cruise. The skipper might drop the anchor in a quiet spot, where you can enjoy a cool-down dip.
- Soar 700 feet above sea level on a Skyride to Paradise Point tram ride. You can see all the way to Puerto Rico and St Croix on a clear day.
