Captain Morgan Experience Center
The Captain Morgan Rum Distillery opened on St Croix in January of 2011 and as promised, the following year (2012) the Captain Morgan Experience Center opened to the delight of visitor and St Croix locals alike! The $5 million center features a small movie theatre, tasting bar and a gift shop for picking up your pirate swag. Below is a little sneak peek of the tour from the opening ceremonies. You’ll find the Diageo Captain Morgan Distillery off of the Melvin Elvins Highway at the intersection between the Home Depot and the Henry Rohlson Airport.
The Captain Morgan Experience Center includes wonderful displays that map the history of the rum trade in the Caribbean. Rum is an integral part of the history of the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands. Yo, Pirates, argh ;)
Tour fee includes 1-hour tour and 2 complimentary drinks in the tasting room.
Hint: Take the Captain Morgan Tour first, then drive up the road to the Cruzan Rum Factory Tour. By the end of the day, you’ll be feeling good and will be a wealth of knowledge on all that is rum in the Caribbean!

Cruzan Rum Factory
When you tour the Cruzan Rum Factory, you’ll be literally stepping into St Croix History. The Nelthropp family has been producing rum on St Croix since 1760. And likely when you visit the factory on St Croix, you’ll bump into one of the Nelthropps – after 8 generations, they still run the show.
Rich in heritage, the Cruzan Rum distillery is “the world’s most honored rum distillery in the world”. The hand-crafted rum is not only the basis of Cruzan Rum ®, they are also the largest supplier of American private and distributer label rum. With their well-earned place in American History, the Cruzan Rum Distillery is one of two rum manufacturers included on the American Whiskey Trail.
While the Captain Morgan Distillery and Experience Center is state-of-the-art, the Cruzan Rum Tour will take you on a personal journey through the making … and tasting of this piece of Virgin Islands history and culture. Take your time, enjoy, don’t hurry… it’s the Crucian way!
Pro Tip: This is the best place to purchase rum to take home with you. They also have fun and reasonably priced souveniers. But, they don't take cash! Cruzan offers great deals on 6-bottle packages (each adult returning to the US can bring back 6-bottles of alcohol duty-free as long as one was distilled in the US Virgin Islands). The great folks at Cruzan Rum will pack your rum safely into a travel box for you to take home. And the best part is that it doesn’t count as one of your checked bags (so you don’t pay to fly it home). You can thank the USVI Government and Dept of Tourism for that!
