From relaxing on the beach or snorkeling in the clear waters to sightseeing or sampling local cuisine, there are plenty of things to do while in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and you can do them at prices that won’t break your budget. Here are five reasons why you should visit the U.S.
USVI Cruise Ports
The port in St. Thomas welcomes over 3 million passengers annually and serves as a great entry point for cruises along nearby islands including St. John, Tortola, and Jost Van Dyke. USVI’s newest cruise port, Havensight is on St.
Saint John
Saint John is a lovely island with many great places to explore, both on land and in water.

Trunk Bay is said to have the most beautiful underwater vistas in all of Saint John—and we couldn’t agree more!
Saint Thomas
Saint Thomas, also known as Saint John in Christian tradition, is one of three main islands that make up the United States Virgin Islands. With a gorgeous white-sand beach on its western shore and surrounded by glittering blue waters, St. Thomas is a popular vacation destination for tourists from all over the world, particularly cruise ship passengers and yachters who use St. Thomas’s port as their home base for exploring surrounding Caribbean islands and sailing around Europe or North America for months at a time without returning home.
St. Croix
If you’re looking for a Caribbean destination with plenty of nightlife and attractions, St. Croix is worth a visit; it’s also a great place for families who enjoy water sports such as snorkeling, diving and kayaking. Visitors have even seen humpback whales in January and February during migration season! Those who prefer their relaxation closer to shore can enjoy St.
Things To Do on Land
The USVI is a great place for golfers. In addition to world-class golf courses and luxury hotels, there are other ways for sports enthusiasts and adventure seekers to stay active in the beautiful tropical climate of St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, like snorkeling, hiking or biking through surrounding hillsides and parks or visiting historical landmarks around each island’s capital city (Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas, Christiansted on St. Croix).
