St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Caribbean

The 1.7 million cruise passengers who come here every year do so via giant white ships, often six to eight at a time during the winter months. Traffic jams into the main town of Charlotte Amalie, just a few miles from the ships, are commonplace. Considering the time and hassle it takes to get to nearby beaches like Megans Bay or Coki, you may not want to leave the ship.
