Cruises to St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Caribbean Snorkeling. Rum Distilleries.

The quaint harbor town of Fredriksted welcomes you to the beautiful island of St. Croix. Calm, clear and warm waters rife with seahorses and other unique marine life make Fredriksted home of the best dive sites on the isle. Some of them just steps from our ship. For those who’d rather stroll, the original city grid of seven streets by seven streets remains intact, making for a lovely journey of history through architecture. You’re guaranteed not to get lost while you explore points of interest that include examples of original Danish colonial as well as Victorian residences from the town’s rebuilding in the late 19th century. Still, some might prefer to lead their afternoon with a lunch of lobster bisque or any of the other delicious examples of the taste of St. Croix. Looking for a cruise to St. Croix?

11 Cruise Shore Excursion Packing Tips

Are you planning a cruise but not sure what to bring along for shore excursions? Here's a list of our handiest tips for planning your excursion must-haves.

Tips on What to Pack for Your Cruise

Packing for a cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line should feel easy because the days ahead will be. Think clothes that don’t rush you, shoes that don’t argue with you, and shorts that work well at noon and at sunset. Out here, it’s less about outfits and more about options. Things you can move in. Breathe in. Accidentally nap in. So before you overthink it (you know you will), here’s the simple truth: if it lets the day take you where it wants to go, pack it. If it doesn’t, leave it home (along with your agenda).
