The Virgin Islands are divided between U.S. and British territories. The U.S. Virgin Islands are St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. In St. Thomas, the liveliest of the U.S. Islands, you will find some of the best dining and duty-free shopping in Charlotte Amalie. St. John is famous for its untouched, natural beauty. Two-thirds of the island is a national park.

The British Virgin Islands are grouped around the Sir Francis Drake Channel. This passage is among the world's grand boulevards for cruising yachts. Scenic Road Town, Tortola, the island capital, tempts visitors with every sort of regional and international cuisine. Virgin Gorda lies east of Tortola and is home to the famous Baths - an arrangement of shallow pools and grottoes which flood with crystal clear sea water creating an unforgettable setting. Nearby snorkeling is excellent.
