You’ll quickly understand why this strand has garnered the world’s admiration for its beauty.

Historic downtown drive  
Enjoy a narrated drive through downtown Charlotte Amalie and into the heart of the historic Kongens Quarter, brimming with landmarks from the era of Danish West Indies seafaring dominance. Envision a bygone world of global traders and marauding pirates in a vibrant early-Caribbean port of call as you drive past historic landmark properties dating back to the 1600s.
