Day 1: St. Thomas – Trunk Bay, St. John

St. John is only  11 miles away from your embarkation harbour in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Centuries-old warehouses in St. John  used to supply sailors for their long journey.

Peter Island with its luxury resort and private villas is the typical Caribbean paradise: Endless white sandy beaches as well as clear-blue water as far as your eyes can see.
