If you are not sure yet what to do while in the St Maarten cruise port, just go for a walk, explore and indulge in the friendly St Maarten capital. The St Maarten cruise terminal is uniquely located close to the Dutch Side capital, Philipsburg. You can walk from the port to the town center in 10 minutes along the main road outside the port gates. Philipsburg is easy to navigate.
