The Norwegian Getaway in St. Maarten

Saint Maarten is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It encompasses the southern third of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, while the northern two-thirds of the island constitutes the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin. Its capital is Philipsburg.

The official languages are Dutch and English. A local English-based creole dialect is also spoken. Air transportation to Saint Maarten and the whole island is served by Princess Juliana International Airport, which is well known for its very low final approach landings close to a popular beach at the end of the runway. Winair (Windward Islands Airways) has its headquarters on the grounds of the airport. There are no railroads on the island.

Karen Duquette visited this part of the island much earlier in 2007, and those photos are posted in the Flashback/cruises menu, along with several other cruises. The experience was very different from this one. If you go there, please remember to return here.

St. Maarten's economy is mostly based on tourism, either from tourists staying on the island or day tourists from the many cruise lines that dock in the Phillipsburg Harbour.
