About US Virgin Islands
Discover US Virgin Islands
The US Virgin Islands are America's own slice of Caribbean paradise — three main islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix, each with its own distinct character and charm. No passport required for US citizens, making these islands the perfect international escape for American group travelers. St. Thomas dazzles with duty-free shopping and a stunning harbor, St. John enchants with pristine national park beaches and lush jungle, and St. Croix captivates with colonial history, world-class diving, and a thriving food scene. Together, they offer an unmatched Caribbean experience.
