Local tips
Taxis are plentiful
Taxis are the primary and most convenient transportation for cruise passengers to popular spots like Magens Bay or town. Agree on the fare before starting your journey.
Shop early for deals
Duty-free shopping for jewelry, electronics, and spirits is a major draw. Many shops open early; comparing prices at multiple vendors is recommended on Main Street.
Magens Bay entrance fee
Expect a small per-person entrance fee to access Magens Bay, often considered one of the most beautiful beaches. Bring cash for convenience if not part of a tour.
Skyride to Paradise Point
Take the Skyride to Paradise Point for panoramic views of Charlotte Amalie harbor and surrounding islands. It's an excellent photo opportunity and offers a bar and shops at the summit.
Explore Historic Fort Christian
Visit Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in St. Thomas, for a glimpse into Danish colonial history. Located steps from the cruise port, it's easily accessible for a short cultural immersion.
