Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. St. Thomas is known as a vacation idyll today, but its history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie.

	Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Philipsburg, St. Maarten. As the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French sailors hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon thereafter, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach and great shopping.

Sample Shore Excursions:
• 4 x 4 St. Maarten Safari - Get away from the crowds and share a 4x4 experience on trails and island roads. A stop off at Mullet Bay Beach will allow you to enjoy a swim. You will have one hour to explore the shops, markets and restaurants in Marigot before proceeding to Orient Beach.
• Loterie Farm Treetop Adventure Tour - It's up, up and away! The traverse adventure course consists of a sequence of zip-lines, rope swings and ‘bridges' suspended from platforms mounted in the trees.
• Butterfly Farm & Beach - At the Butterfly Farm, you will see hundreds of rare and exotic butterflies fluttering freely. The guide will identify different species, point out courtship and mating displays and tell butterfly facts and stories. Then continue your tour to Boo-Boo-Jam on Orient Beach, a 5 to 10 minute drive away. The beach is reputed as much for its beauty and setting as it is for being the island's foremost nude beach.
