Port Report

Itinerary: Eastern Caribbean PORT PICK: ST. THOMAS It’s all about beaches and shopping on the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Thomas, one of the world’s most-visited cruise ports. Add to this the conveniences of being a part of the United States – speaking English and using the American dollar – and this tropical retreat becomes even more accessible and appealing.

Would-be fashionistas and deal-diggers get their ﬁx in Charlotte Amalie’s hip duty-free shopping zone. Meanwhile, those not into the shopping scene can head out of town to admire the famed heart-shaped beach at Magens Bay or take a scenic tram ride to a mountaintop.
