Start From The Cruise Port

After boarding your accessible vehicle at the Charlotte Amalie cruise port, leave sea level behind as the road climbs northward and upward toward your first of three 15-minute scenic stops.

Visit To Mountain Top

Your first stop is at Mountain Top, the island’s highest summit. From here, enjoy spectacular Atlantic coastal views, dotted with small islands and cays. Magens Bay shimmers beautifully at the center, with St. John and the British Virgin Islands visible on clear days.

Stop At Drake’s Seat

Next, a scenic 30-minute drive along the North Side route brings you to Drake’s Seat. Gaze down through lush hillsides to St. Thomas’s downtown and harbor, with your ship framed by Hassle and Water Islands. On clear days, views may extend all the way to St. Croix and Puerto Rico.

Scenic Drive Along Skyline Drive

Your island inspection continues with another 30-minute drive along Skyline Drive. The third lookout offers panoramic views of the Caribbean, with the historic downtown and docked ship appearing tiny from this impressive vantage point. Descending back to sea level, your route takes you through downtown Charlotte Amalie and back to the pier, where your scenic tour concludes and your ship awaits.
