ARRIVE 8:00am in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands’ bustling capital, history and natural beauty meet in perfect harmony. Stroll along the cobblestone streets lined with 17th-century Danish architecture, shop the famed Main Street duty-free boutiques, or climb the 99 Steps for sweeping harbor views.

Whether you’re seeking culture, adventure, or relaxation, Charlotte Amalie delivers a vibrant blend of Caribbean charm and sophistication.
ARRIVE 9:00am on the tiny jewel of the British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke is the definition of barefoot bliss. With just a few hundred residents, this idyllic island is famed for its powdery white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and relaxed charm.

Explore the island’s proud heritage at Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site steeped in maritime history, or take in sweeping views from Shirley Heights, where the panorama of English Harbour is unmatched. Antigua is also famous for its 365 beaches—one for every day of the year—from secluded coves to stretches of powder-soft sand lapped by turquoise seas. Whether you’re drawn to cultural discovery, scenic adventure, or simply unwinding by the water, St. John’s offers a little of everything.

Beyond its rich history, San Juan offers a vibrant culinary scene, from traditional Puerto Rican flavors to world-class fine dining, and lively nightlife infused with music and dance.
