St. Thomas has been a shopping Mecca since the late 1600s and, for a period in the early 1700s, the island was a a pirate refuge for notorious buccaneers and, by 1800, Charlotte Amalie was one of the busiest ports and trading centers in the Caribbean. Today, St. Thomas is a choice port of call among the cruise lines and a popular Virgin Island vacation destination
St. Thomas, with some of the Caribbean's best beaches, hotels, and resorts is the Caribbean's major cruise port and king of all duty-free shopping destinations. Bargain hunters are spurred on by the sheer variety of merchandise. The island's history is steeped in trade and shops: In the 1700's this was a pirate refuge for notorious buccaneers. Since then prosperous merchants have tendered their wares on the streets of the harbor side capital, Charlotte Amalie.
Quiet can be found at dozens of luxury resorts, hotels and fine restaurants, some with Danish influence. Steep hillsides thick with flowers and bright red rooftops make Charlotte Amalie a favorite of travel photographers.
