What's great about Philipsburg cruises?
Two flags rule over this tiny isle – the French and the Dutch. Philipsburg, the Dutch capital, is the spot for a serious shopping splurge, while Marigot, the French capital, tempts with bistros and boutiques. Add to the mix dreamy Caribbean coves, kaleidoscopic reefs and lashings of sunshine and you’ve got all the ingredients for tropical bliss.
- Give your credit card a duty-free workout in Philipsburg. From cut-price island crafts to cutting-edge designer gear, you’ll find it all here. Front Street is the main artery, with lanes, alleyways and courtyards leading off in all directions.
- Visit Orient Bay, nicknamed the Saint-Tropez of the Caribbean, where calm waters, lively beachfront bars and top-notch watersports make it a favourite with the locals.
- Stroll Marigot’s colourful streets before climbing to Fort Louis, over 230 years old, for a slice of history and panoramic views of the bay and Philipsburg.
