ST. MAARTEN

Nearly two million cruise passengers visit St. Maarten each year to enjoy the beauty and warm year-round weather of this “Friendly Island.” Cruisers dock at the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility, known as St. Maarten’s pier and cruise terminal and often proceed to Philipsburg (the Dutch side of the island’s capital) that is less than a mile away. Within this commercial district filled with tax and duty-free shopping is a network of neighboring Diamonds International stores that have the best jewelry and watch brands on the island. Although tourists may be tempted by the casinos and beachfront bars, Diamonds International’s unbeatable prices are too good to miss. Choose from a variety of exclusive luxury brands like Crown of Light, Safi Kilima Tanzanite, Bvlgari, Philip Stein, Wenger, WonderStud and more.
