With its sea-swept landscapes, historic towns, duty-free shopping and luxurious resorts, the US Virgin Islands bask in a familiar yet exotic combination that makes them one of the most popular cruise-ship destinations in the Caribbean. There are also many discount hotels around US Virgin Islands.
Of the sixty islands, the biggest and busiest are St Thomas, St Croix and St John. Each has a distinctive mood and culture, and you haven't really seen the US Virgin Islands until you've checked out all three. St Thomas, with its picturesque capital, Charlotte Amalie, is the most Americanized islands – hip and stylish (at least compared to the rest of the Caribbean) with up-market shops and restaurants and a history born of trade rather than sugar. St Croix, the largest of the islands, is the most distant of all. St John, the smallest of the islands is virtually all wilderness National Park, part on land, part underwater, making it the major attraction for its miles of hiking trails and quiet beaches.
