No Passport Required for U.S. Citizens Traveling to St. Croix
Plan Your Passport-Free Caribbean Getaway Today
Dreaming of a luxury Caribbean escape without the hassle of passport applications, processing fees, or international travel delays? Your ideal tropical getaway awaits at The Buccaneer Resort in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Because St. Croix is an unincorporated territory of the United States, travel to the island is considered domestic travel for U.S. citizens. That means you can step off the plane, head straight to our 340-acre oceanfront sanctuary, and start your vacation – no passport needed.
What Travel Documents Do You Need?
While you do not need a U.S. passport to fly to St. Croix or check into The Buccaneer, you will need valid identification to clear airport security and return to the U.S. mainland:
- Adults (18+): A REAL ID-compliant state driver’s license or government-issued photo ID. (Alternative TSA-approved IDs like a Global Entry card or military ID are also accepted).
- Proof of Citizenship: Because U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) conducts outbound pre-clearance checks when departing St. Croix for the mainland, we recommend carrying a birth certificate with a raised seal alongside your photo ID for a smooth travel experience.
- Minors (Under 18): Children traveling with a parent or legal guardian do not require a photo ID for domestic flights, though a copy of their birth certificate is recommended for airport check-in.
Unmatched Caribbean Luxury at The Buccaneer
Founded in 1947 as the longest family-run resort in the Caribbean, The Buccaneer blends historic charm with modern beachside luxury. When you stay with us, everything you need for a relaxing getaway is right at your doorstep:
- Three Secluded Beaches: Relax on the soft sands of Mermaid Beach, Grotto Beach, and Whistle Beach.
- World-Class Amenities: Play a round on our 18-hole championship golf course overlooking the ocean, hit the courts at our 8-court tennis club, or unwind at one of two freshwater pools.
- Oceanfront Dining: Enjoy sustainably sourced Caribbean cuisine at The Terrace, casual beachfront dining at The Mermaid Restaurant, or fresh sushi and craft cocktails at Beauregard’s on the Beach.
- Complimentary Resort Perks: Guests enjoy a daily full breakfast buffet, complimentary wireless internet, free parking and non-motorized water sports equipment like paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear.
The Ultimate Convenient Getaway
In addition to skipping passport hassle, staying at The Buccaneer offers all the comforts of domestic travel:
- No Currency Exchange: Official currency is the U.S. Dollar.
- No International Phone Plans: Major U.S. mobile carriers include coverage in the USVI.
- Easy Connections: Non-stop direct flights are available to St. Croix (STX) from major U.S. hubs including Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, Chicago and Newark (beginning Oct. 2026).
