St Thomas:
The US Virgin Islands are America's paradise, offering an easygoing blend
of island ways and American practicality. St. Thomas, capital of the island
group, offers every imaginable sport: snorkeling, golfing, hiking, and
sailing. Just a few miles away lay St. John and Virgin Islands National
Park. Stunning mountain scenery, crystalline waters, and white-sand beaches
with palms swaying in the breeze - the US Virgin Islands are truly a slice
of paradise. The harbor is easily one of the Caribbean's most scenic. The
United States purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 million in
gold. St. Thomas has a reputation as a duty free-mecca for shopping.
5:15 pm - 7:15 pm Sunset Catamaran Cruise
https://www.princess.com/cruise-excursions/st-thomas-virgin-islands-excursions/sunset-catamaran-cruise?portCode=STT&portDate=12132022&preserveScrollPosition=true
The 65-foot "Castaway Girl" catamaran slowly makes her way out of the harbor
as the soothing Caribbean Sea breezes gently propel here into the turquoise
waters. Ample amenities on board include freshly prepared snacks, champagne
and an attentive crew to ensure a memorable evening. Relaxing music
accompanies the dazzling night sky that transforms from fiery red and orange
to a tranquil midnight blue.
Admire the seascape and the ships that moor in Charlotte Amalie Harbor as
"Castaway Girl" makes its way around the tranquil waters and sets sail past
historic Hassel Island. Located on the western edge of the harbor, it was
used by the Danish in the 18th and 19th centuries to defend the busy port
and Water Island, the fourth U.S. Virgin Island filled with secluded coves
and rocky headlands-the perfect hiding place for pirates. On its shores,
find glamorous Honeymoon Beach. Soon, the lights of Charlotte Amalie flicker
across the hillside competing with the early evening stars-a signal that
it's time to return to the harbor.

St Maarten:
The French ended up claiming 21 square miles
of the island to 16 square miles for the Dutch. This lively tale says much
about St. Maarten's easygoing ways. No formal boundary exists between the
Dutch and French sides of the island; a simple welcome sign tells you when
you cross from one country to the other. But the differences are as
noticeable as the spelling of the island's name. The French spell it St.
Martin. And it's this split personality that lends so much to the island's
charms, including an international reputation for the finest cuisine in the
Caribbean.
