Charlotte Amalie Cruises

With stunning Beaches and a fabulous selection of shops, it's not hard to see why Charlotte Amalie is one of the world's most popular ports of call. The capital and largest city of the Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie is located on the island of Saint Thomas. Beautiful and mountainous, Charlotte Amalie has many buildings of historical importance - including 'St. Thomas Synagogue' - the oldest synagogue in the United States of America.

Just a short taxi ride away from Charlotte Amalie's port you'll find ‘Magens Bay'; considered to be one of the most stunning, sandy white beaches in the world. Also worth a visit is 'St Peter's Mountain', which has a cable car and platform. The most breath taking views can be had from here. So, whether you want to soak up a few rays, take in the rich culture or admire the panoramic views, Charlotte Amalie has something for everyone.

As the US Virgin Islands are outside the US Customs Zone, you get to enjoy duty-free shopping - up to a $1,200 exemption per person. Cameras, electronic goods and designer clothing are popular purchases. You'll also find a superb selection of island rums - along with great bargains on your favourite spirits.
