Charlotte Amalie is located on the island of St Thomas and is the capital and largest city of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The city is named after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel, queen consort to King Christian V of Denmark.
The city has been a famous deep water harbor for centuries and was once a haven to pirates. Blackbeard's Castle still stands on top of Blackbeard's Hill offering excellent views of the harbor entrance. These days, Charlotte Amalie is a very popular port of call for cruise ships.
Expore the sights and history of St Thomas on a shore excursion such as the Legends and Lore of St Thomas Walking Tour or under water by riding a submersible scooter on the B.O.S.S. Underwater Adventure Tour.
