Historic Frederiksted by Foot

View Colonial-Era Buildings and Caribbean Art Immerse yourself in the rich culture and colonial heritage of Frederiksted with an informative walking tour. Starting at the waterfront, begin winding your way through the wide streets of the town. Frederiksted still retains the original seven-by-seven street plan from colonial times. Stroll next to the bay along Strand Street and past the Old Danish School and St. Patrick’s Church on Prince Street. As you walk, your knowledgeable guide will explain the Danish and African influences on the architecture and design of many of the historic buildings, the stories of the families who owned them and their historic uses. Visit 18th-century Fort Frederik, its red-and-white walls a sharp contrast to the lush greenery and blue waters surrounding it. Complete your tour at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts, which exhibits the work of Caribbean artists, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
