Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Take a scenic drive up to Drake's Seat for a photo opportunity overlooking Magens Bay, where privateer Sir Francis Drake directed his ships towards their plunder. Keep your camera at the ready, as you'll stop to gaze upon Charlotte Amalie's historic colonial district Kongens (Kings) Quarter, the 3 Queens and the famous 99 Steps. Next, explore the Pirate Treasure Museum, where interactive exhibits allow for an immersive experience into the world of pirates. Travel around the world through artifacts, stories and the history of famous shipwrecks and learn how modern-day, deep-water exploration technology is used to recover treasure. You can even experience first-hand the ferocious winds that brought down famous vessels when you step inside the hurricane simulator. The tour ends at the museum, but you're just a short walk from the West Indian Company's duty-free shopping center and your ship.

Special Notes:
