Creator's Key Takeaways

I arrived in St Martin on a viking transatlantic Cruise called a Vikings Crossing

I was initially disappointed that we didn't have more time on the island I did feel that the Excursion gave me a great overview

the island was run by two countries France and the Netherlands and that they had a happy Arrangement all these years

for solar Travelers I think you would feel comfortable navigating your way around the island just make sure you do some research in advance

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I arrived in St. Martin on a Viking Transatlantic Cruise, called a Viking's Crossing. St. Martin was one of two port stops on a long Atlantic voyage from Barcelona. I've posted other videos on this cruise and have left links below. In this video, I share my experience as I circumnavigated the island on a motor coach, which included stops at Lucas Bay, Marigot, and Cole Bay. Our tour guide also pointed out various sites along the way, including the French Quarter and Iguanas! I've also shared some things you should know before visiting St Martin. @seniorsolotravel Travel Facebook Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Videos from this trip: Madrid: https://youtu.be/FzVWCSEMmgs Barcelona: https://youtu.be/B1P-ViPVVJM Madeira: https://youtu.be/EfXrlgDNjNQ Toboggan Run Madeira: https://youtu.be/SyoS_H_EiNI St Martin: https://youtu.be/vQOgjioV9pw Viking Sky Ship Overview: https://youtu.be/l7EuwYab5f0 A Viking's Crossing Transatlantic Cruise Overview: https://youtu.be/aR08b92xi0I Viking Deluxe State Room Overview: https://youtu.be/Ms7VOZw3JSU 0:00 Intro 0:49 Cruise Port 1:56 Lucas Bay 2:37 Iguanas 2:47 French Quarter 3:09 Marigot 4:09 Cole Bay Hill 4:37 Philipsburg 4:44 Outro & Advice
