Fort Lauderdale welcomes many cruise ships throughout the year at Port Everglades cruise terminals, offering a wide range of itineraries to St. Maarten. A cruise out of Fort Lauderdale is one of the most popular ways to experience the Caribbean islands. Several of the world’s best-known cruise lines, including Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Viking Cruises, are all based in Fort Lauderdale.

But this coastal South Florida city is a worthy destination in and of itself. It is worth exploring before or after going on a cruise to St. Maarten.

St. Maarten, Dutch Caribbean

St. Maarten, a popular cruise-ship stop is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, an island country on the southern part of a Caribbean island shared with Saint Martin, a French overseas collectivity. The island of Sint Maarten or Saint Martin is the smallest land mass in the world to be shared by two different nations. Only 37 square miles are governed by France and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The capital, Philipsburg, has cobblestone streets and colorful, colonial-style buildings lining its Front Street shopping area. Add dozens of beaches and lagoons, a mountain range, luxury hotels, elegant villas, and over 300 restaurants, you’ll understand why St. Martin is the most visited of all the Leewards.

Florida has the largest selection of cruise deals to St. Maarten.
