  • US Virgin Islands ↗Entry follows US rules: international visitors need a US visa or ESTA as for the mainland. US citizens need no passport from the mainland, but must clear customs when leaving for the mainland.
  • US Virgin Islands ↗The British Virgin Islands are a separate British territory: a ferry trip there is an international crossing and needs a passport.
  • US Virgin Islands ↗Protect the reefs: do not stand on coral, and follow national park rules on St John.
  • Charlotte Amalie ↗Cruise-ship days change everything: check the port schedule for the days you plan to be downtown and go before 09:00 or after 16:00.
  • Charlotte Amalie ↗After dark, take taxis between clusters and back to your bed rather than walking.
