Cruise Ship Massage in St. Maarten
Adult massage for passengers docking in St. Maarten. We time the session around your port day and include pickup and return to the cruise terminal. Same five treatments as our land-based service — sensual, naturist, body-to-body, sensual couples, plus a 45-minute express for short port windows. Adults only. Cash only.
About the cruise service
A cruise port day in St. Maarten gives you roughly six to ten hours ashore. Most passengers fill them with beaches, shopping, or excursions. This is a different option — a private adult massage session, timed around your ship's schedule, with pickup and return to the terminal included.
The service exists because port days have a specific timing problem: the window is fixed, the ship will leave without you, and standard massage studios on the island do not plan around all-aboard times. We build every cruise booking backwards from the ship's departure time.
Port-day timing
What fits depends on your docking window. Here is the standard calculation:
- 45-minute express session: needs about 2 hours total port time — pickup, session, return to terminal, buffer
- 60-minute session: needs about 2 hours 30 minutes total
- 90-minute session (couples or extended): needs about 3 hours total
We recommend docking at least 3 hours before all-aboard to allow for the return trip and unforeseen delays. If your port window is shorter, message us and we will confirm whether a session can fit.
Where the session happens
- Hotel room near the terminal (default): arranged in advance and included in the treatment price. Walking distance from the terminal, or we provide a taxi at no extra cost.
- Your hotel room: if you are also staying on the island, we can come to your own room instead.
- Private studio (alternative): our signature two-therapist studio session is available when a suitable hotel room is not possible. Daily at 9:00 PM by advance reservation.
What to bring
- Ship card, in case you need it to re-board
- Photo ID — we may ask for it at the door for the 21+ check
- Cash in USD, exact amount if you can. We do not take cards
Sessions are for one or two people
We do not take group bookings. A couples session covers two people in the same room; solo sessions cover one. If you are travelling with someone who is not booking a treatment, they are welcome to wait nearby but do not join the session.
Where we pick up
The main cruise terminal is in Philipsburg, on the Dutch side. The therapist meets you at the terminal exit at the agreed time. We track the Port St. Maarten schedule and coordinate around your ship.
How a port-day booking works
Four steps. We confirm every one before your ship docks.
Book before you dock
Message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, port date, docking time and all-aboard time. We confirm the session fits the window before booking. Advance booking required.
Confirm treatment and location
Tell us which treatment you want — sensual, naturist, body-to-body or sensual couples. We confirm the hotel room setup for your port visit and share the pickup details.
Dock, meet, and session
You disembark at your scheduled time. The therapist meets you at the terminal exit and walks you to the room, or a taxi collects you. The session runs as booked — 45, 60 or 90 minutes.
Return to ship with buffer
After the session, we return you to the terminal with time to spare before all-aboard. You pay cash at the end of the session before the return trip.
Port-day timing — the short version
All-aboard is usually 30 minutes before departure, and that is the time that matters — not the departure time itself. Disembarkation, the walk or taxi to the room, the session, the return trip, and a buffer all eat into the same window.
Planning figures: a 45-minute express session needs about 2 hours of shore time. A 60-minute session needs about 2 hours 30 minutes. A 90-minute couples session needs about 3 hours. We recommend docking at least 3 hours before all-aboard.
For the full calculation — what eats into the window, tender delays, and how to plan against all-aboard rather than departure — see our port day guide. You can check your ship's specific docking times on the Port St. Maarten cruise schedule.
Cruise passenger FAQ
Do you pick up cruise passengers at the terminal?
Yes. We include pickup and drop-off at the cruise terminal in Philipsburg for all cruise passenger bookings. The therapist meets you near the terminal exit at the agreed time and walks with you to the room, or a taxi is provided at no extra cost.
How much time do I need between docking and all-aboard?
A 60-minute massage plus travel time needs about 2 hours and 30 minutes of your port day. A 45-minute express session needs about 2 hours. We recommend docking at least 3 hours before all-aboard to allow a buffer.
What if my ship docks late or leaves early?
Message us the moment you know. We track the Port St. Maarten schedule and can usually adjust. If your ship changes schedule inside 4 hours of your booking, we charge half the fee as a call-out cost. Free cancellation up to 4 hours before.
Can I book a session during my port stop?
Yes, but we require advance booking. Ships often dock the same day, so last-minute slots fill quickly. Book by WhatsApp as soon as you know your port date — a few days ahead is ideal, though same-day is often possible if we have availability.
Where does the session happen?
In a hotel room near the cruise terminal, arranged in advance and included in the treatment price. It is within walking distance of the terminal, or a taxi is provided at no extra cost. If you are also staying on the island, we can come to your hotel room instead. Our private studio session is available as an alternative when a suitable hotel room is not possible.
How do I pay?
Cash only. You pay at the end of the session. Please have the exact amount ready — US dollars preferred. Tips are optional and never expected.
Do you take walk-ins from the cruise terminal?
No. Appointment only. Book by WhatsApp or phone before you arrive — we do not accept walk-ins at the terminal or the studio.
Can I book for a group?
No. Sessions are for one or two people only. Couples bookings are available for two people in the same room. We do not take group bookings.
Book your port-day session
