Your day ashore
St. Maarten cruise excursions
Compare island tours for your port day. Start with your ship’s all-aboard time, then allow for the activity, transfers and extra return time.
Compare toursPlan around your ship, not just the tour
A tour’s duration is only part of your day ashore. Check the journey from the port to the meeting point, check-in time, the activity’s estimated finish and the journey back. Your cruise line’s all-aboard deadline is the one that matters.
Check the full schedule
Each tour page lists duration and departure details. Allow for check-in and transfers as well as time on the activity.
Confirm your pickup
Pickup included does not necessarily mean cruise-port pickup. Read the meeting point and the operator’s pickup or shuttle details.
Leave extra return time
Check any operator-stated cruise return commitment on the tour page. This collection does not certify that every tour fits your ship’s schedule.
Times are estimates. TodayVacay and the operator can't guarantee your return to the ship — leave plenty of extra time. Your cruise line sets the all-aboard time.
Your return-time buffer
Use your cruise line’s all-aboard deadline, not sailing time. Confirm the transfer estimate with the operator and choose extra time for traffic, queues and boarding. Match the ship’s clock to St. Maarten local time before comparing tour times.

A return target depends on your ship’s deadline, transfer time and chosen buffer. All times must use the same local clock.

Ship-return guarantees: what is actually promised?
TodayVacay does not offer a sitewide ship-return guarantee. An operator-stated return commitment applies only to the individual tour that displays it, not every activity in St. Maarten.
Before you book
Look for the operator’s “Cruise time friendly” commitment on the tour page. Confirm it applies to your ship, port date and all-aboard deadline.
What the commitment means
The operator states they will return you to the cruise port before boarding. Return to the port is not the same as boarding your ship; keep time for security and walking.
What is not implied
A badge is not a promise of missed-ship compensation, onward transport or automatic refunds. Ask for the operator’s written terms and any exclusions.
No verified non-demo tours currently offer a published return commitment here.

Can I book a tour on the day my ship arrives?
Only where a departure still has bookable seats and is before the booking cutoff. Use your port date to check availability, and verify that the departure time leaves enough time to get from your ship to the meeting point.
Is my booking confirmed immediately?
Some tours offer instant confirmation; others require operator approval. Check the tour’s confirmation terms. A pending request is not a confirmed booking.
What if my ship’s schedule changes?
Read the tour’s cancellation terms before paying. Last-minute discounted bookings are final sale, and a ship itinerary change should not be assumed to qualify for a refund.
Can I plan a tour and a beach stop?
Use Plan my day with the Cruise Day Adventures occasion and provide your ship, port hours and return buffer. Check the suggested schedule against your cruise line’s deadline.
