Each entry lists the ship name, cruise line, expected passenger count, dock, and arrival/departure times in AST. Switch between Today, This Week, and This Month views.

Question 2

Where do cruise ships dock in St. Thomas?

Accepted Answer

Cruise ships dock at two terminals on St. Thomas: Havensight (the West Indian Company dock, walking distance to Charlotte Amalie shopping) and Crown Bay (near the airport and Crown Bay Marina). Larger ships and overflow days use both. On busy days three or more ships can be in port at once, bringing 15,000+ passengers ashore.

Question 3

How many cruise ships visit the US Virgin Islands each week?

Accepted Answer

St. Thomas is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Caribbean, typically receiving 10–20+ ship calls per week during the November–April high season, concentrated on weekdays. St. Croix (Frederiksted), Tortola (Road Town), and Virgin Gorda see lighter, more occasional cruise traffic. Use the This Week and This Month views to see exact counts for your dates.

Question 4

What time do cruise ships arrive and leave the Virgin Islands?

Accepted Answer

Most cruise ships arrive in the USVI between 7:00am and 10:00am and depart between 4:00pm and 7:00pm, giving passengers a full day ashore. Exact arrival and departure times for each ship are listed on the Cruise Ships page in Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC−4), the time zone used year-round in the Virgin Islands.

Question 5

Are there cruise ships in Tortola and St. Croix?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tortola (Road Town, BVI) and St. Croix (Frederiksted, USVI) both receive cruise ships, though far fewer than St. Thomas. Virgin Gorda also sees occasional smaller-ship calls. Select the island tab on the Cruise Ships page to see the schedule for each port, including passenger counts and docking times.

Question 6

How do I find which cruise ships are in port on a specific date?

Accepted Answer

Open the Cruise Ships page and choose Today, This Week, or This Month, then pick an island. The calendar colors each day by expected passenger volume, and the schedule table lists every ship, cruise line, passenger count, dock, and times. You can share the schedule by text, email, or as a calendar image.
