Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal

Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas

This town owes its legacy to Danish settlers who arrived nearly 350 years ago. Fort Christian lies on our chart. Not only is it the oldest in the Virgin Islands, it surely ranks among the brightest, daubed in garish red – it is literally unmissable! Azure skies and lush plantations add to its popular appeal, as do quaint streets lined by duty-free boutiques.
