Beach Day at Magens Bay
One of the world's most beautiful beaches — calm, mile-long, family-friendly. Grab a chair, swim, and grab a bite at the beach bar. Go early on busy ship days to beat the crowd. Small entrance fee.
The USVI has four cruise berths across St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. Which one you land at changes your whole day ashore.

One of the world's most beautiful beaches — calm, mile-long, family-friendly. Grab a chair, swim, and grab a bite at the beach bar. Go early on busy ship days to beat the crowd. Small entrance fee.
One of the best snorkeling spots on the island, right next to Coral World Ocean Park. Colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and clear water. Equipment rental on site. A bit crowded on big ship days but still excellent.
The #1 duty-free shopping district in the Caribbean. Main Street is lined with jewelry, watches, perfume, rum, and designer goods — all tax-free. U.S. residents get a $1,600 duty-free exemption per person. Walk from Havensight or take a $4 shuttle.

Consistently ranked among the world's best beaches. National Park beach with an underwater snorkel trail, lifeguards, restrooms, and a snack bar. Beautiful but busy on ship days — arrive as early as possible.
Less crowded than Trunk Bay with equally stunning scenery. The North Shore road passes several beautiful coves — Hawksnest, Gibney, and Maho Bay (known for sea turtle sightings right from shore). Rent a jeep in Cruz Bay for maximum flexibility.
Cruz Bay is a walkable, charming little town with great restaurants, boutique shops, and a laid-back Caribbean vibe. Grab lunch at one of the waterfront spots, browse the local galleries, and soak it all in before the ferry back.
