Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Sail the twin coasts of St. Maarten aboard a private catamaran, anchoring at hidden bays and snorkeling pristine reefs. An utterly bucket-list way to see the island — from the water, at your own pace.
Stand meters from the runway threshold of Princess Juliana Airport as wide-body jets roar overhead at rooftop level — one of the world's most thrilling aviation spectacles, right on a Caribbean beach.
Stroll the pastel-painted main street of French Saint-Martin's Grand Case village, tasting your way through Michelin-pedigreed Creole kitchens, artisan rum bars, and the legendary lolos beachside grill stalls.
Pilot your own two-person inflatable speedboat through St. Maarten's sparkling coastal waters to a protected marine park — snorkel over coral gardens teeming with tropical fish on this heart-pumping water adventure.
Explore the 17th-century Dutch ramparts of Fort Amsterdam and the storied backstreets of Philipsburg with a private historian guide — uncovering the colonial rivalry, pirate era, and the unique Treaty of Concordia that shaped this dual-nation island.
Board a sleek private sailing yacht for a golden-hour circumnavigation of French Saint-Martin, ending with champagne as the sun melts into the Caribbean — the most romantic, bucket-list close to any port day imaginable.
