The Skyride is the easiest viewpoint on St. Thomas for anyone docked at Havensight: the base station is a short walk from the pier, and the cars lift you straight up the hillside above the harbour. At the top you get a wide view over Charlotte Amalie, the cruise ships and the islands beyond, plus a bar and shops. Tickets are sold only at the window or through your ship, and the daily schedule changes with the cruise calendar, so check the hours on the day.
