St. Maarten Travel Tours
with Princess Cruises

Both the French and the Dutch claim the island of St. Maarten. The powers signed a treaty in 1648 that divided the island between them, though the two sides have distinct cultural characteristics. But it is their differences that add to the charm of this Caribbean hideaway and makes for some of the most delightful cuisine known throughout the world.

    Sample Tours in St. Maarten:
  • Butterfly Farm And Marigot
  • Caribbean Amphibious Duck Adventure
  • Semi-Submarine & Lunch In Grand Case
  • St. Martin Mountain Bike Adventure
  • ...and more!


Butterfly Farm And Marigot
    Board your air-conditioned motorcoach for the short drive to La Ferme des Papillons on the French side of the island. At the Butterfly Farm, you enter enmeshed tropical gardens where hundreds of the world’s most rare and exotic butterflies float freely by. During your tour, see every phase of the life cycle of these exquisite insects and learn about the magic of metamorphosis. Then head to Marigot, where you enjoy approximately one hour of free time to explore the city’s charming sidewalk cafes, open-air market and duty-free shops before returning to the ship.


Caribbean Amphibious Duck Adventure
    A short taxi transfer takes you to your departure point, where you receive a DUCK quacker and an orientation of the 39-foot amphibious vehicle. Then it’s time to get quackin’. Enjoy live Calypso music and complimentary rum or fruit punch as your DUCK rolls through the older sections of Phillipsburg. See the island’s Great Salt Pond and head to one of the island’s highest points for panoramic views. Your guide provides lively and entertaining commentary on St. Maarten and points out sights of interest. Then, before you know it, your DUCK drives down the beach and dives into Simpson Bay for a leisurely tour by water. After returning to dry land, head for a scenic overlook offering views of the bay and your Princess ship.


Semi-Submarine & Lunch In Grand Case
    Board your air-conditioned motorcoach and drive to Grand Case, a quaint fishing village and popular destination on the French side. Board the Seaworld Explorer and descend into the air-conditioned comfort of the underwater observatory, located six feet below the waterline. The large viewing ports offer a close-up view of coral reefs and schools of tropical fish during your 45-minute narrated tour of the marine ecosystem at Creole Rock. After your cruise, enjoy a complimentary beverage on deck as you take in views of Grand Case Bay. Next, you have a firsthand opportunity to see why French St. Martin is considered the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean. Dine at a unique seaside restaurant in Grand Case with a beautiful ocean view. Your superb lunch is accompanied by a complimentary glass of wine, beer or soft drink.


St. Martin Mountain Bike Adventure
    Board your air-conditioned transportation for the short drive to the waterfront in Marigot, the French capital, where you receive your bike, safety equipment and brief orientation. Then set off, passing a marina development to enter and ride down a narrow trail running along the coastline. Climb a hill for the panoramic view of St. Martin's and neighboring islands. Your route then progresses downhill through a sloping field to an old dairy road lined with coralita flowers and tamarind trees. Travel a bumpy trail through a valley lined with coarse pampas grass and old slave walls. Your ride concludes at the beach in Friars Bay, where you can relax or enjoy a swim before returning to the ship.


Lagoon Kayaking Adventure
    Board your air-conditioned transportation for the narrated, scenic drive to Simpson Bay Lagoon. Upon arrival, receive a kayaking lesson and safety orientation before setting off on your assigned, sit-on-top kayak. Follow your guide across the largest saltwater lagoon in the Antilles and marvel at this complex and fascinating ecosystem. During your paddle, your guide points out sights of interest, including the imaginary water border between the Dutch and French sides of the island. Keep an eye out for the wildlife that makes its home among the labyrinth of mangroves lining the shore. After a brief rest stop, paddle on to a secluded corner of the island. Your kayak paddle ends at a beautiful beach where you enjoy a complimentary beverage before returning to the ship.
