Description: A throw of almost 50 small islands and cays: currently a US territory, but once a Danish colony -- hence many of its 18th C. references to Danish names, like Charlotte Amalie. Principle islands are St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, all of which are heavily developed. Beaches are white and framed by lovely water colours -- but also replete with drinks-stalls, benches, and rest rooms. St. Thomas is the most popular cruise ship port in the Caribbean.
