St. Croix Boasts Culture, History and Architecture


Cruzan RumSt. Croix, characterized by its cultural diversity, is the largest of the three islands and lies entirely in the Caribbean Sea. The unique influences of Danish, French, Spanish, West Indian, African and other cultures on the architecture and history of the island are evident in its colorful, rustic towns. In Christiansted, you'll marvel at the historical churches and the charming boutiques and pavilions laden with crystal, designer perfumes, handmade jewelry, local arts and crafts and, of course, Cruzan rum. You can also meander through the town's pastel buildings in search of Christiansted's unique art galleries, or peruse the array of restaurants that cater to an eclectic mix of palates throughout all the St. Croix towns. Dozens of charming restaurants in Christiansted, Frederiksted and the smaller towns serve up local West Indian dishes laden with rich spices and flavors, as well as international cuisine inspired by Europe and Asia.

St. Croix's emerald waters, powdery sands and rolling green hillside remain just as Columbus first viewed them in 1493. The breathtaking beaches that dot the North and South shores and East and West ends of St. Croix provide the perfect escape for visitors in search of tranquility and relaxation with a heaping dose of sunshine.
