The US Virgin Islands offers much to the vacationer in search of a relaxing stay. A shopping haven due to its duty free status, there are also a number of casinos for those feeling lucky. The main islands include St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island. St. Thomas boasts a number of beautiful sandy beaches, of which Magen’s Bay is considered by the National Geographic Society to be one of the “Ten most beautiful beaches in the world.” All around the Virgin Islands are prime diving and snorkeling destinations, where encounters with turtles, sting rays, and the occasional barracuda is not uncommon. Other water activities, from boat tours to windsurfing and fishing are also abundant. Ashore, bike tours take you throughout the island, or if you prefer, simply a round of golf is readily accessible. The US Virgin Islands are a popular destination for many celebrities, and it is possible to drive by or sail by numerous properties while out and about.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Virgin Islands
When you arrive in port, take a taxi to Morningstar Beach. It was one of my favorite beaches and it also has a nice outdoor restaurant centrally located if you are hungry. I only went to Magen's Bay once, but it is also nice. There is also a great restaurant that serves burgers, salads and a lot of other stuff. I can't remember what it is called, but it is literally a block forward when you step off of a cruise ship in port. Keep in mind though that if you eat anywhere in St. Thomas, you need to be prepared to wait. They are in no hurry at all.

A most when visiting St. Thomas (especially while on a cruise) is catching a ride on one of the islands bus tours! They are more accurately giant trucks that are converted to to a tram style bus. The tour takes you around the island so you can see the views and bays from beautiful little tucked away spots. It continues on to a little roadside stand where you can get an amazing little banana flavored frozen beverages:) and ends at a beautiful beach with the best snorkeling on the island. The tour leaves you there to have some fun in the sun for about 2 hours and comes back to pick you up and take you back to port. It's worth every penny and is actually cheaper than a taxi fare to Megan's Bay.

 A personal favorite is Raymond's bus tours. He is a local firefighter on the island so you can't miss his bus...it's bright red and has a picture of himself fighting fires on the side:) He was friendly funny and full of information and activity ideas for the island.
