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.

Don't miss your chance to snorkel with turtles in the calm waters of St Thomas. Bonaire National Marine Park is home to some of the clearest water and healthiest coral reefs in the Caribbean, so it's another top spot if you're into underwater sightseeing.
TUI River Cruises tick off everything from big-name cities like Budapest and Vienna to barely-trodden bankside beauties, like Cochem and Durnstein – via iconic waterways including the Rhine and Danube. Best of all? Flights, transfers and meals with drinks are all included.
