Charlotte Amalie Harbor
Stunning views of the cruise ship port, historic forts, and the bustling capital of St. Thomas immediately after takeoff.
Hassel Island
A historic island and national park area located right in the mouth of the Charlotte Amalie harbor.
Buck Island Reef
The vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Buck Island Reef National Monument as you approach St. Croix.
Christiansted
Views of the historic Danish architecture and the yellow buildings of the wharf area on the north shore.
Sit on the left side (Port) for the best views of the departure climb over the harbor. This side is also excellent for spotting the British Virgin Islands on the horizon to the northeast during the brief cruise altitude. Early morning flights offer the best lighting without solar glare.

Lindbergh Bay
A beautiful stretch of white sand beach located immediately adjacent to the Cyril E. King Airport runway.
Water Island
The smallest of the main US Virgin Islands, visible just south of the St. Thomas coastline.
Sandy Point
A massive, pristine white sand spit on the southwestern tip of St. Croix, famous as a leatherback turtle nesting site.
South Shore Coastline
Views of the industrial and energy facilities on the southern coast of St. Croix during final approach.
The right side is ideal for views of the open Caribbean Sea and the dramatic western tip of St. Croix. It is generally the 'sunny side' during morning flights, so bring sunglasses. Watch for the dramatic color change in the water near Sandy Point as the depth shallows.
