Destination: St. Thomas/St. John, the U.S. Virgin Islands
Sites
Among the new destinations visited by the Disney Magic during the 7 day cruise will be the islands of St. John and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In St. Thomas, we dock at Charlotte Amalie, the capital and heart of Caribbean shopping. Here, charming shops line the oceanside vista. The island also invites you to play on white-sand beaches, explore ancient mysteries, soak in tropical beauty on a biking tour, play a round of golf at one of the most beautiful courses in the West Indies, scuba dive through spectacular living reefs, or sail on a charming excursion to the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John, where warm waters welcome you to windsurf, parasail, or master the waves on a kayak built for two. Passengers on the ship will be able to freely visit St. Thomas while shore excursions are available to visit St. John.
Please note that U.S. immigration requires all non-U.S. passengers, including children, to present themselves personally in the Buena Vista Theatre for inspection upon arrival to St. Thomas. This includes Canadians and alien resident card holders. Please meet at the designated time indicated in the notice sent to your stateroom.
