What To Expect

Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of Caribbean life with this rum and reggae shore excursion, a fun blend of relaxation and island culture at Philipsburg, Sint Maarten’s Great Bay Beach.

This idyllic 4-hour getaway begins with a convenient departure from your cruise ship, with a choice of a water or land taxi to whisk you away to the Dutch capital of Philipsburg. Here, you’ll find yourself just steps away from the sun-kissed shores of Great Bay Beach, renowned as one of the Caribbean’s finest.

As you settle into your perfectly positioned spot on the lively boardwalk, comfort meets convenience with a complimentary lounge chair, umbrella, and your preferred refreshment—be it a zesty rum punch, crisp beer, soda, or water. Feel the soft sand underfoot and the gentle ocean breeze as you relax to the soothing sounds of reggae music, embodying the island’s soulful spirit.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
