Philipsburg
Philipsburg, Sint Maarten — what to do while your ship is in port.
Front Street in Philipsburg is a duty-free shopping strip for jewelry, electronics, and liquor just steps from the pier. Maho Beach is the island's signature attraction, where jets from Princess Juliana Airport roar in low overhead just above sunbathers. Guests can take a day-trip taxi or excursion across the border to the French side for Orient Beach and Marigot's open-air market, or book a catamaran sail to Pinel Island for snorkeling. The Sint Maarten island loop tour is a popular half-day option that covers both the Dutch and French sides.
