In January 2023 I will be hosting an 8-day Caribbean Cruise. St. Maarten is one of the port calls during that trip. (There is still time to plan your winter get-away and join me!)
A unique island, this small plot of land, only 37 square miles, is actually two countries. France and Kingdom of the Netherlands, making it entirely possible to visit two countries during your port of call.
Each of the islands has it's own local rum, but on St. Maarten is the only place you can get Guavaberry Rum. Made on the island, it is not shipped anywhere. (I always 'stock' up when I visit this island)
Beside rum and beaches, there is terrific shopping just steps away the cruise port in Phillipsburg. Did I mention shopping is duty free here?
In addition to the gemstone and brand name offerings, you can find high quality Caribbean made items here. Souvenirs, books and resort ware can be found at one of the many Shipwreck Shops found on the island.
Like cigars? you can find the largest range of cigars at the Casa de Habano.
As if this wasn't enough, sunny beaches, create your own signature perfume, foodie tours and more can all be found on this tiny island.
Come cruise with me!
