About St. Croix (Frederiksted)
St. Croix is one of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands, and cruise ships call at Frederiksted, a small town on its west end. Frederiksted has walkable streets of historic architecture, a restored waterfront park and beaches close to the pier, and the island feels less developed than St. Thomas. The red, Danish-built Fort Frederik has guarded the harbour; outside its walls thousands of enslaved people gathered to demand their freedom. On the north-east coast, Christiansted has a historic district around Fort Christiansvaern and is the departure point for boats to Buck Island Reef National Monument, known for its underwater snorkel trail and elkhorn coral. Rum distilleries, Rainbow Beach and restaurants serving local specialties fill out a day ashore.
