Frequently Asked Questions
At the Ann E. Abramson pier in Frederiksted, on the island's west coast. The gangway opens straight onto the small town's waterfront, so no shuttle is needed to start exploring.
Frederiksted, yes: the fort, the yellow arcades and the waterfront sit minutes from the gangway. Christiansted, the other historic town, is at the far end of the island and needs a taxi or a tour.
Fort Frederik and the Frederiksted waterfront first, then either the nearby beach or the road across to Christiansted and its Danish streets. Snorkellers aim for the Buck Island reef reserve, which leaves from Christiansted.
Because Denmark left the deepest mark of the seven flags that have flown over the island. Two towns carry the names of Danish kings, and King Street and Company Street recall the Danish West Indies, sold to the United States in 1917.
Emancipation. In July 1848, before thousands of assembled enslaved people led by Moses 'Buddhoe' Gottlieb, Governor von Scholten proclaimed the end of slavery in the Danish West Indies, eight years before Copenhagen had formally decided it. The island marks the day every 3 July.
Yes, the west coast lines up pale sand beaches a short distance from the pier, reachable on foot or in a few minutes by taxi. The sea here is usually calm, sheltered from the trade winds.
The US dollar, the island being a United States territory. Cards are accepted everywhere; carry cash for taxis, craft markets and tips, which are expected American-style.
Yes for Canadians: the US Virgin Islands come under the United States, and a valid passport remains the document to present, even for a port call.
Yes. Frederiksted is small, flat and easy to walk, the fort holds children's interest and the beach is close. One detail for parents renting a car: St. Croix drives on the left, despite the American plates.
December through April, the dry season and when most ships call. From June to November, hurricane season brings rain and the risk of a cancelled call.
