Got a hankering to visit the Caribbean, relax under bright blue skies and bask in lots of sunshine? Well, the perfect cruise vacation to the beautiful island of St. Maarten is where you need to be this September. And with an amazing cruise deal from MSC Cruises, the largest privately owned cruise line in the world, guests can enjoy the September 10th St. Maarten extravaganza sailing aboard the stunning MSC Divina.

St. Maarten is the smallest island in the world shared by two sovereign governments—Holland and France. Located on the northern end of the Lesser Antilles and 150 miles south of Puerto Rico, this island has a unique flair of Caribbean culture with Dutch and French influences.

MSC Cruises offers an amazing excursion once you arrive to this fascinating island. A bus tour gives guests a complete orientation of this 37-square-mile isle. Adventurers will begin their tour on the Dutch side of the island, and visit the busy and beautiful capital of Philipsburg. Continuing, the bus will scale the steep hills of the terrain to the French side of the island, St. Martin. The capital, Marigot, was originally a fishing village on a swamp, but today it is filled with picturesque gingerbread houses and irresistible sidewalk bistros. Guests will be allotted personal time where shopping, food sampling and exploring will be the priorities of the day.

St. Maarten, Puerto Rico and The Bahamas. Rates start as low as $399 per person.
