Your Cruise, Your Weather
Historical averages and packing recommendations for your May visit to St. Maarten / St. Martin.
"Warm, occasional afternoon showers"
St. Maarten/St. Martin is unique in the Caribbean: the southern half is the Dutch island of Sint Maarten, while the northern half is the French collectivity of Saint-Martin — two cultures on one small island. Cruise passengers dock in Philipsburg on the Dutch side and can easily explore beach clubs, duty-free shopping, the famous Maho Beach (planes land just overhead), and cross into France for world-class dining.
