On your way back to the port or hotel, you can choose to end your tour in Philipsburg, the shopping capital of the Caribbean. This duty-free town is the capital of Dutch St. Maarten and features Front Street and Back Street, which are lined with shops. To the south, you'll find Great Bay Beach and the Boardwalk, which is home to a variety of restaurants serving local cuisine and lively bars. Philipsburg is just 20 mins walk away from from the cruise port, and guests can easily walk or take a water taxi back.

Border Monument (Saint Martin - Sint Maarten) (Pass by)
The border monument, is a simple but powerful symbol of our island's unique history. For over 350 years, the French and Dutch have shared this island in peace, and this monument marks the world's only unguarded border between two different European nations. There are no customs, no checkpoints—just a testament to the friendly cooperation that makes this island so special. It's truly a one-of-a-kind border, and it's what earns St. Maarten/St. Martin its nickname, "The Friendly Island."
