Soak up the sun, sand and surf of St. Croix, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and one-time Danish West Indies capital. Step back in time during a tour of the 18th-century Christiansted National Historic Site and lose yourself to a kaleidoscope of fragrant flora during a visit to the St. George Village Botanical Garden.

Explore a tropical rainforest on the island's west side or snorkel in the breathtaking blue of Cane Bay. Spot a rare bird flying overhead at the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge or stand on the spot where Columbus first set foot back in 1493.

Delight in the duty-free shopping in Christiansted or simply sprawl out on the golden sands of nearby Buck Island and experience a serenity you never knew existed.
