The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Sail to St. Thomas's most secluded gem — Honeymoon Beach on Water Island — aboard a private catamaran. Snorkel pristine reefs, sip rum punches, and own the beach before the crowds arrive.
Ride high in an open-air safari jeep to the legendary Magens Bay — consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches — then summit Mountain Top for views and the island's famous banana daiquiri.
Walk the seafloor in a pressurized helmet at Coral World's legendary Sea Trek, hand-feeding tropical fish without getting your hair wet. A bucket-list underwater encounter unlike any snorkel or scuba dive.
Unravel 350 years of Danish colonial history in the Caribbean's finest duty-free port, from Fort Christian's crimson ramparts to 99 Steps and a curated tasting of authentic local rum in a historic merchant's courtyard.
Glide through St. Thomas's secret mangrove lagoons at dusk, then witness the Caribbean's magical bioluminescence — millions of microorganisms lighting your paddle strokes electric blue in the darkness.
Soar 700 feet above the harbor in the iconic Paradise Point gondola for the most cinematic view in the Caribbean, then raise a glass of Champagne at the open-air pavilion as the sun melts into a sea of islands.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
