YouTube Video Description

Join us as we explore St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, during our cruise onboard Icon of the Seas, experiencing Royal Caribbean’s Skyride, Drake’s Seat & Magens Bay Shore Excursion - an easy, scenic way to see the island in a single port day. This video is filmed largely from the side seat of the open-air safari truck, so it truly feels like you’re riding along with us through Charlotte Amalie, up to Drake’s Seat, and across some of St. Thomas’ most iconic viewpoints. As a travel advisor, I love this excursion because it combines organized transportation, famous lookout points, and beach time, all while getting you back to the ship on time. 📍 Video Chapters / Timestamps: 00:06 – Sailing into Crown Bay Marina 00:45 – Disembarking Icon of the Seas 1:30 – Boarding open-air safari trucks & scenic drive through Charlotte Amalie 3:00 – Drake’s Seat (views of both the Caribbean Sea & Atlantic Ocean) 3:50 – Magens Bay Beach 6:45 – Skyride experience 9:07 – Views from the top of the Skyride 11:40 – Havensight Cruise Port 13:20 – Crown Bay Center 14:20 – Sailing away 14:55 – Sunset views If you’re cruising to St. Thomas and wondering whether this shore excursion is worth it, this video gives you a real, ride-along look at the full experience - from port arrival to sunset sail-away. 👇 Have questions about cruising, shore excursions, or planning your next vacation?
