St. Croix Cruise Ship Schedule - Arrival Information
Welcome Cruise Ship Passengers!
Get ready
for a day packed full of fun! St Croix in the US Virgin
Islands is a traveler’s paradise and a wonderful port of
call for cruise ships. You will enjoy the fact that you
don’t have to battle large crowds to enjoy the St. Croix
experience, as there is usually just one cruise ship in
port at a time. Once you step from the ship onto land, a
multitude of St. Croix activities will be found. Yes,
St. Croix has something for everyone on a cruise ship
visiting St. Croix!
Your cruise
ship will dock at the recently renovated waterfront of
Frederiksted, the smaller of the two main towns on
the island. This quaint town provides a beautiful
setting with many restored and un-restored, historical
buildings, historic Fort Frederik,
shops,
restaurants, beautiful sandy
beaches and much more. There will be many vendors on
the waterfront selling island art, crafts, jewelry and
of course T-shirts! From Frederiksted you can enjoy
several island tours and close to town you can enjoy
several beaches and beach bars. You may also want to
take a
taxi into historic
downtown Christiansted, the former capitol of the US
Virgin Islands. U.S. citizens visiting St. Croix can
take advantage of the most generous duty free allowance
in the Caribbean...$1,600 per person!

Things To Do
While Visiting St. Croix
 There
are many fun St. Croix
tours to
enjoy. Tour the Cruzan Rum factory and learn
about the process of making this tasty drink
and don’t forget the samples at the end of
the tour (of course you must be at least 18
to drink!). A tour of the
Whim
Plantation
is a great way to step back in time to see
how sugar cane was processed. Get of glimpse
of what life was like in the 1800s as you
tour through the restored great house and
old slave quarters. If eco-tourism is more
to your liking, you can view beautiful St.
Croix flora and fauna at the
St. George Botanical Gardens while
strolling by interesting plantation ruins or
take in a hike through the
rainforest. You can explore the
island by car, following the
St. Croix Heritage Trail, a 72-mile
driving tour that connects our Caribbean
island's historic sites and attractions and
includes many significant natural areas.
 A
visit to St. Croix’s Historic Harbor town of
Christiansted is also a highlight. One
of the finest, intact examples of old Danish
architecture, this town offers historical
sites, forts, great
duty free shopping,
sumptuous restaurants, and more.
 If
you feel like some activity is in order, how about our
land and
water sports.
A day on one of our three
golf courses will challenge you while
you take in the breathtaking scenery. There are numerous
SCUBA diving
companies
that will take you to the world class
dive
sites around St. Croix. Jet ski tours and sailing
tours are also a great way to spend the day. A sail to
Buck Island and its underwater
snorkeling trail on a catamaran is a must!
Sport fishing
is another exciting activity, as the
Caribbean waters are full of Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo and
other delicious fish.
 If
relaxing is more your speed (or should we
say lack of speed), you'll find numerous
beautiful
beaches where you
can lay around, take
in the sun and St. Croix's beauty.
Cane Bay Beach is just one of the many
locations on St. Croix that offers awesome
swimming, diving,
snorkeling,
kayaking and
horseback riding. You can also enjoy
several waterfront beach bars while visiting
Cane Bay.
 These
are just some of the fun activities on the
island of St. Croix. So take a tour, go to
the rainforest, jump in the water, or just
lie around as you sip on your favorite
concoction. Whatever you do, you will soon
discover that one day on St. Croix is just
not enough . In fact, we won’t be surprised
if you decide soon after your visit that
you’ll just have to come back again to
experience more of the beautiful island of
St Croix!
