Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Few places enjoy as dramatic a setting as Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas' principal town and the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The town sprawls around a deep horseshoe-shaped bay, backed by green hills that sparkle at night from the lights of houses and shops.  The town was built by the Danish in the 1600s as a haven for seafarers and their lucrative, shipping-related businesses. The wide, arched entrances of their stone warehouses, now shops, accommodated cargo for shipping and receiving. Today, they add immeasurably to the town's 17th-century charm.

Fun Things to Do:

• Beach hop between some of the world's most beautiful beaches.
• Ride the St. Thomas Skyride to the top of Paradise point for breathtaking views .
• Visit Blackbeard's Castle, built in 1679, and see the world's largest collection of life-sized pirate statues. 

Perfect Day Cococay, Bahamas

Visiting Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, isn't vacation days spent. It's bragging rights earned. Conquer the tallest waterslide in North America and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana. (some areas require additional fees).
