2023 Sea Freight Container Shipping Rates To & From the US Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands are perfect for everyone who can afford to retreat to an exclusive getaway spot and live the dream island life.

This tiny US territory in the Caribbean comprises 53 islands of which 4 are mainly inhabited (Saint Croix, Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Water island).

This tiny paradise is a premium option for settlers who want to experience a higher standard of living as the islands provide many luxurious options for accommodation and entertainment.

Transporting household items there, however, can be a bit of a hassle. While cruisers are often seen at the islands’ ports, cargo liners are a rare sight.

In any case, there are several options that we’ve listed in the tables below. Feel free to check out our quote tool as well and fill in your details for a custom quote.
