Philipsburg, St Maarten Cruises

Bridge across the river in St Maarten

Located on a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond, Philipsburg is the capital of Dutch St. Maarten in the Caribbean, and the smallest land mass to be – quite amicably - governed by two different countries, with a variety of nationalities, creating a unique island culture. Princess Juliana Airport’s runway is positioned next to Maho Beach, where thrill seekers enjoy the exhilarating experience of aircraft landing only a few metres above their heads.
