Dutch settlers came here in the 1630s, about the same time they sailed through the Verazzano Narrows to Manhattan, bringing with them original red-tile roofs, first used on the trade ships as ballast and later incorporated into the architecture of Willemstad.
Much of the original colonial structures remain, but this historic city is constantly reinventing itself and the government monument foundation is always busy restoring buildings in one urban neighborhood or another.
The salty air causes what is called "wall cancer" which causes the ancient abodes to continually crumble over time.
The city is cut in two by Santa Anna Bay.
On one side is Punda (the point)—crammed with shops, restaurants, monuments, and markets and a new museum retracing its colorful history.
And on the other side is Otrobanda (literally meaning the "other side"), with lots of narrow, winding streets and alleyways (called "steekjes" in Dutch), full of private homes notable for their picturesque gables and Dutch-influenced designs.
In recent years the ongoing regeneration of Otrobanda has been apparent, marked by a surge in development of new hotels, restaurants, and shops; the rebirth, concentrated near the waterfront, was spearheaded by the creation of the elaborate Kura Hulanda complex.There are three ways to cross the bay: by car over the Juliana Bridge; by foot over the Queen Emma pontoon bridge (locally called "The Swinging Old Lady"); or by free ferry, which runs when the pontoon bridge is swung open for passing ships.
All the major hotels outside town offer free shuttle service to town once or twice daily.
Shuttles coming from the Otrobanda side leave you at Riffort.
From here it's a short walk north to the foot of the pontoon bridge.
Shuttles coming from the Punda side leave you near the main entrance to Ft.
Amsterdam. If you fly to the 32-square-mile (83-square-km) island of St.
Thomas, you land at its western end; if you arrive by cruise ship, you come into one of the world's most beautiful harbors.
Either way, one of your first sights is the town of Charlotte Amalie.
From the harbor you see an idyllic-looking village that spreads into the lower hills.
If you were expecting a quiet hamlet with its inhabitants hanging out under palm trees, you've missed that era by about 300 years.
Although other islands in the USVI developed plantation economies, St.
Thomas cultivated its harbor, and it became a thriving seaport soon after it was settled by the Danish in the 1600s.
The success of the naturally perfect harbor was enhanced by the fact that the Danes—who ruled St.
Thomas with only a couple of short interruptions from 1666 to 1917—avoided involvement in some 100 years' worth of European wars.
Denmark was the only European country with colonies in the Caribbean to stay neutral during the War of the Spanish Succession in the early 1700s.
Thus, products of the Dutch, English, and French islands—sugar, cotton, and indigo—were traded through Charlotte Amalie, along with the regular shipments of slaves.
When the Spanish wars ended, trade fell off, but by the end of the 1700s Europe was at war again, Denmark again remained neutral, and St.
Thomas continued to prosper.
Even into the 1800s, while the economies of St.
Croix and St.
John foundered with the market for sugarcane, St.
Thomas's economy remained vigorous.
This prosperity led to the development of shipyards, a well-organized banking system, and a large merchant class.
In 1845 Charlotte Amalie had 101 large importing houses owned by the English, French, Germans, Haitians, Spaniards, Americans, Sephardim, and Danes.
Charlotte Amalie is still one of the world's most active cruise-ship ports.
On almost any day at least one and sometimes as many as eight cruise ships are tied to the docks or anchored outside the harbor.
Gently rocking in the shadows of these giant floating hotels are just about every other kind of vessel imaginable: sleek sailing catamarans that will take you on a sunset cruise complete with rum punch and a Jimmy Buffett soundtrack, private megayachts for billionaires, and barnacle-bottom sloops—with laundry draped over the lifelines—that are home to world-cruising gypsies.
Huge container ships pull up in Sub Base, west of the harbor, bringing in everything from breakfast cereals to tires.
Anchored right along the waterfront are down-island barges that ply the waters between the Greater Antilles and the Leeward Islands, transporting goods such as refrigerators, VCRs, and disposable diapers.
The waterfront road through Charlotte Amalie was once part of the harbor.
Before it was filled in to build the highway, the beach came right up to the back door of the warehouses that now line the thoroughfare.
Two hundred years ago those warehouses were filled with indigo, tobacco, and cotton.
Today the stone buildings house silk, crystal, and diamonds.
Exotic fragrances are still traded, but by island beauty queens in air-conditioned perfume palaces instead of through open market stalls.
The pirates of old used St.
Thomas as a base from which to raid merchant ships of every nation, though they were particularly fond of the gold- and silver-laden treasure ships heading to Spain.
Pirates are still around, but today's versions use St.
Thomas as a drop-off for their contraband: illegal immigrants and drugs.
To explore outside Charlotte Amalie, rent a car or hire a taxi.
Your rental car should come with a good map; if not, pick up the pocket-size "St.
Thomas–St.
John Road Map" at a tourist information center.
Roads are marked with route numbers, but they're confusing and seem to switch numbers suddenly.
Roads are also identified by signs bearing the St.
Thomas–St.
John Hotel and Tourism Association's mascot, Tommy the Starfish.
More than 100 of these color-coded signs line the island's main routes.
Orange signs trace the route from the airport to Red Hook, green signs identify the road from town to Magens Bay, Tommy's face on a yellow background points from Mafolie to Crown Bay through the north side, red signs lead from Smith Bay to Four Corners via Skyline Drive, and blue signs mark the route from the cruise-ship dock at Havensight to Red Hook.
These color-coded routes are not marked on most visitor maps, however.
Allow yourself a day to explore, especially if you want to stop to take pictures or to enjoy a light bite or refreshing swim.
Most gas stations are on the island's more populated eastern end, so fill up before heading to the north side.
And remember to drive on the left! Mountainous St.
Kitts, the first English settlement in the Leeward Islands, crams some stunning scenery into its 65 square miles (168 square km).
Vast, brilliant green fields of sugarcane (the former cash crop, now slowly being replanted) run to the shore.
The fertile, lush island has some fascinating natural and historical attractions: a rain forest replete with waterfalls, thick vines, and secret trails; a central mountain range dominated by the 3,792-foot Mt.
Liamuiga, whose crater has long been dormant; and Brimstone Hill, known in the 18th century as the Gibraltar of the West Indies.
St.
Kitts and Nevis, along with Anguilla, achieved self-government as an associated state of Great Britain in 1967.
In 1983 St.
Kitts and Nevis became an independent nation.
English with a strong West Indian lilt is spoken here.
People are friendly but shy; always ask before you take photographs.
Also, be sure to wear wraps or shorts over beach attire when you're in public places.

Silver Moon Facilities

Moreover, gastronomic excellence is a given thanks to Silversea’s partnership with the prestigious Grands Chefs Relais & Châteaux. No matter where you dine, their influence is readily apparent in the great diversity and presentation of culinary selections on board your all inclusive cruise.
Entertainment
The ocean views and soothing sound of the surf can be quite intoxicating at sea, so it’s not surprising that daydreaming on deck is one of the most popular pastimes. However, every Silversea all inclusive cruise also includes a considerable number of more active pursuits — some for the body, some for the mind … and some just for fun.

When docked, supplementary emergency care may also be obtained through local medical facilities. Guests may be charged for medical services and for medications used for their medical treatment. The Medical Centre is not intended or designed to provide on-going treatment of pre-existing conditions or for extended critical care, and Silversea is not responsible for the diagnosis, treatment or services furnished by shipboard medical personnel.
Smoking Policy
At Silversea, the comfort, enjoyment, and safety of all guests is paramount. Most areas on board are non-smoking, and, as a safety precaution, smoking is not permitted in guests suites or guest suite verandas or balconies and in all public areas, lounges and bars. However, cigarette, cigar, electronic cigarette and pipe smoking is permitted only in the Connoisseur’s Corner (including outside starboard deck of Humidor on Silver Muse, Silver Moon and Silver Dawn) and in specifically designated areas. These areas include designated tables and seating outside of the Panorama Lounge, port side only (starboard side on Silver Muse, Silver Moon and Silver Dawn). In addition, smoking is allowed in designated tables at the Pool Grill and in specifically-designated outside areas on Decks 6 aboard Silver Explorer and deck 4 aft aboard Silver Origin.
Age Restrictions
Silversea cruise guidelines state that children under the age of 18 must be accompanied, in the same or connecting suite, by a parent or other responsible adult over the age of 21 for the duration of the voyage. If the adult accompanying the minor is not their parent, a parental consent guardianship form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian and received by Silversea prior to sailing. Please contact our Special Services Department at SpecialServices@Silversea.com for a Parental Consent Form. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol. Silversea reserves the right to refuse to serve anyone who in its sole judgment may be under the influence of alcohol, or for any reason necessary in its judgement to preserve the health and safety of guests and employees.
Silversea cannot accommodate infants less than six months of age and reserves the right to limit the number of children less than three years of age (Silver Explorer, Silver Cloud and Silver Wind cannot accommodate infants under the age of 1 year, Silver Origin cannot accommodate children under the age of 5 years). Parents are required to sign a notarised waiver prior to sailing in order to grant a valid booking for children ages between 6 months and 1 year old. A signed and notarised waiver will be required for all children between these ages. Although Silversea accepts guests over the age of 6 months (over the age of 1 year for Silversea Expeditions), there are no special programmes for children on board our luxury cruise ships, and Silversea does not provide for the care, entertainment or supervision of children. Silversea reserves the right to limit the number of children less than 3 years of age.
Children under the age of 8 years old are only permitted to participate in suitable Silver Shore Excursions / shuttle service if the vehicles are equipped with the correct safety harness and seating equipment. Child harnesses and secure seating cannot be guaranteed. Silversea reserves the right to refuse children under the age of 8 years old on any tour on the basis of safety. Guests may use their own approved safety seat, booster seat or harness provided they are compatible with the local touring vehicle and can properly secure the child.
In addition, the Zodiacs used for Silversea Expeditions are unable to accommodate children younger than 5 years of age. As Silversea does not provide babysitting services, an adult family member will be required to remain on board with their child(ren) during Zodiac excursions.
The minimum age to consume alcohol on Silversea ships on sailings originating in North America is twenty-one (21).
The minimum age to consume alcohol on Silversea ships on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand is eighteen (18).
Laundry Service
Complete valet services, including laundry, pressing and wet cleaning, are available at an additional charge and may be arranged through your butler. Laundry service is complimentary for certain suite categories and for those Venetian Society members who have reached certain reward levels. A self-service launderette offers washing machines, dryers, irons and laundry supplies, allowing you to limit the amount of cruise luggage needed, especially for longer voyages.
Wi-FI & Internet
All Silversea ships are equipped to offer wireless (Wi-Fi) Internet access. You can use your own laptop to surf the Internet and check emails at Wi-Fi locations throughout the ship, or from the comfort and privacy of your suite. Computers, email and Internet access are also available on board at the Internet Café. However, it is important to understand that telecommunication services while at sea are via satellite and significantly different than high-speed connections on land back home. The signal travels in a similar manner to radio waves but at much greater distances. Therefore, onboard Internet access is not guaranteed at all times. Satellite communications are also affected by weather and the ship’s location. In particular, Internet service is extremely sporadic while in the Arctic. Guests aboard expedition cruises to/from Svalbard should be prepared to be out of communication for the duration of their time on board. (Please be assured that Silver Explorer always has emergency communication capabilities.)
Onboard mobile phone service enables you to make and receive phone calls, text messages and other select data services on your mobile phone even when miles away from land. Your mobile phone service provider will bill you for calls and/or messages, which may appear as roaming charges. Please note that mobile phone service is sporadic at best while in the Arctic. Guests aboard voyages to/from Svalbard should be prepared to be out of communication for the duration of their time on board. Click here for more information on Silversea’s Cellular Phone service.
Will my devices work on board?
To be most successful, prepare your devices BEFORE leaving home:
Learn how to turn ON and turn OFF both the WiFi and network (mobile/cellular) connections on each of your devices.
Contact your mobile/cellular service provider to confirm that a roaming agreement with Silversea Cruises has been established and to and ask about rates. Learn how to enable your international roaming
Set up an email account if you do not have one already.
Be sure you know any usernames and passwords you may need.
Switch your settings to the most basic choice that shows less graphics and loads faster.
Make any software updates and turn off any automatic update settings for the duration of your cruise.
Download any books, audiobooks, music, movies, games, apps, etc. that you may want during your cruise.
Discuss VPN limitations with your company, as onboard personnel are not authorised to change your VPN settings.
Facebook users should bookmark and plan to use M.Facebook.com or Touch.Facebook.com instead as these have less graphics and load faster.
Don’t forget to pack any power cords/battery packs, camera cables to transfer pictures, adaptor cables and headphones you may need for each of your devices.
Will I be able to download videos and stream music?
Certain websites and services may be restricted due to limited bandwidth. Downloading videos, books and movies or using Skype are examples of high-bandwidth services that will be more frustrating than enjoyable and should be avoided. Plan to use the Internet only for emailing and web browsing.
How can someone contact me on the ship?
In the case of an emergency back home, friends and family should not call your mobile phone. The Shore-to-Ship number provided in your Final Cruise Documents is the best way to reach you while aboard ship. Click here for more information on Dial A Ship service, an alternate option for contacting ships at sea, anywhere in the world.
Drones
Please note that due to the varied port authority laws concerning drone usage and in the interest of passenger safety and ship security, Silversea prohibits the use of all aerial drones.
Silversea’s suites offer one of the highest space-per-guest ratios of any luxury cruise accommodations. All Silversea suites have ocean views, and most include a private teak veranda so that you can breathe in the fresh sea air simply by stepping outside your door.
