Celebrity Golf Classic Foundation for the Celebrity Golf Classic St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands If you have not been to St. Croix before, you will find that it offers everything you expect from a Caribbean Island...lush green hills, warm aquamarine water, beautiful beaches, fabulous weather, great dining and duty free shopping, incredible SCUBA diving, three golf courses, and a friendly Caribbean culture with a relaxed island experience...all without the crowds of many other Caribbean destinations. It is easy to get here from the United States, US citizens don't even need a passport...and you will be supporting a US territory while you vacation! St. Croix is only a 25 minute flight from the international airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and can also be reached by direct flights from the states on American Airlines. Christiansted and Frederiksted, the two main towns of St. Croix, flourished as commercial ports during the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The architecture in these two towns reflects the seven flags...Spanish, Dutch, British, French, Knights of Malta, Danish, and the United States...that have flown over the island, the Dutch influence being the greatest. Today, visitors to St. Croix can enjoy a vast array of indoor and outdoor activities, from fine dining/restaurants, duty free shopping and a casino, to golf, scuba diving and snorkeling along with horseback riding, kayaking and much more!! St. Croix, USVI, the largest of the US Virgin Islands, lies like an emerald in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. It's rich culture, friendly people and colorful history, along with its beautiful beaches and world-class recreational activities, offer an experience unlike any other in the Caribbean. Since Christopher Columbus first arrived at Salt River on St. Croix more than 500 years ago, sugar and rum shaped the island's life and land. Fifty-four sugar mills, each with imposing windmill towers and factory chimneys, still remain, echoing the islands past. Several stately plantation homes still exist to this day.
