St Maarten, one of the popular destinations in the Caribbean, has set a new record for the number of cruise ship visitors, with 30,349 passengers and crew on January 17.

The Anthem of the Seas, Arvia, Celebrity Constellation, Grandeur of the Seas, MSC Seaside, and Symphony of the Seas brought 21,723 passengers and 8,626 crew to the Caribbean island. 

“This is a significant development for the destination when we look back at what we, the region, and the world had to endure with the pandemic and the shutdown of the cruise industry for 15 months. We are on a healthy track for the 2022-2023 season, where we see vibrancy in various sectors. We have much to celebrate, but at the same time, we must keep putting our best efforts forward to ensure we give our guests the best island experiences every day as they visit our shores.” - commented CEO of Port of St Maarten Alexander Gumbs.

This week, St. Marteen will welcome six ships again: Sky Princess, Celebrity Beyond, Club Med II, Voyager of the Seas, and the  Enchanted Princess on January 25. The port is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Caribbean and the world and counts on the economic impact of cruise arrivals.
