Your cruise day in St. Maarten doesn't have to mean staying close to the port. Our shore excursions take you beyond the cruise terminal and into the places that make St. Maarten special.

Customized experiences
Whether you want an exciting day at Maho Beach or a relaxed tour around the island, our goal is to help you experience more of St. Maarten during your cruise visit.
St. Maarten is unique because the island is divided between two jurisdictions: Dutch Sint Maarten and French Saint-Martin.
A shore excursion gives you the opportunity to experience both sides of the island during the same cruise visit.
Travel from the Dutch side near the cruise port toward the French side and discover different beaches, restaurants, viewpoints, neighborhoods and cultural experiences.
Your excursion can be planned around the places you most want to see while keeping your cruise schedule in mind.
Your cruise schedule matters.
When booking a shore excursion, always consider your ship's required all-aboard time and allow sufficient time to return to the cruise port.
We recommend planning your excursion conservatively rather than trying to fill every available minute ashore.
