Port essentials

For a cruise call at Marigot, the port describes a boat transfer to the ferry terminal at the market square. That puts you in the town centre on the French side of the island. Check before you go [1][2]

Best first move

Confirm the final tender time on the ship, then identify the return queue at the ferry terminal before walking away.

On foot

Can I walk?

After the tender, yes for the market square and waterfront. Fort Louis is uphill, so decide after seeing the approach. Check before you go [1][2]

Ashore

Getting to the city

Start on foot at the market square. Keep the waterfront as your return landmark and save the uphill fort for later if conditions suit you.

Transport alternatives

Tender: Follow your ship’s shore and return boarding instructions. Check before you go [1]
Walking: Start with the central market area; the fort requires an uphill walk. Check before you go [2][1]

Things to do

Market square
Start at the square beside the landing and check which stalls are open. Check before you go [1]
Fort Louis
Climb to the fort for a view of the town and harbour if the route suits you. Check before you go [2]

Back on board

Getting back to the ship

Return to the ship’s queue at the Marigot ferry terminal. Allow for tender loading, and use the last tender time rather than departure. A Philipsburg itinerary uses a different port.

All aboard is your deadline to return. Departure is when the ship is scheduled to leave.
