The United States Virgin Islands are the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean. The islands' long-standing international reputation stems not just from their pristine beaches, warm weather, and crystal-clear waters, but from their cultural diversity, as well. Additionally, visitors appreciate the chance to visit exotic islands under the safety of the American flag. Another favorite asset is the sun-kissed people. Island-spiced, friendly, and quick to smile, Virgin Islanders are literally from everywhere - from native Arawak and Carib Indians, to the descendants of Africa, England, Holland, Denmark, Spain, France, India, and the United States. St Croix is the largest of these islands, with two distinct towns to visit: the twin cities of Christiansted and Frederiksted.

Along with underwater adventures, year-round warm weather, and duty-free shopping, St Croix is rich with historic and architectural treasures. History lovers can travel in time to days when pirates looted and sugar plantations thrived in the rum trade. Feeling like you've traveled to the past is easy, since the island has escaped significant modern development, and retains hillsides and foliage as lush as the day Christopher Columbus arrived more than 500 years ago. Historic churches, colorful shops, and fine restaurants housed in Old Danish structures line the island's wide streets. While being "everything to everyone," the US Virgin Islands remain true to themselves, creating their own mix of metropolitan convenience and island serenity!
