The town is one of several tender ports, alongside Les Trois Ilets, Le Marin and Anses-d'Arlet, and the news projects 32 calls and about 13,000 passengers for the season. The sources read do not give the landing point, the tender times or any fee, so check the ship's notice before you go ashore. Cruise Web and CruiseSheet describe Saint-Pierre as a stop on some itineraries rather than every call, so check your own itinerary for the day. Ask the ship whether tender tickets are needed and where the tender returns, since the sources do not describe the boarding point. The season figures are projections, not counts. ## For walkers and architecture fans The Wikivoyage page describes the town as two one-way streets, so it is small, though its transport sections are empty and the walk from the landing point is not described. The harbourfront has been restored, and it has a vegetable market by the sea, a site once tied to the slave trade, and the old customs house with a fig tree. Ruins include an Ursuline convent, the first church, built in 1640, a theatre and the old prison. The 1654 Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption and a stone bridge from 1766 are also listed,. Beyondships notes that ruins are scattered through the streets, so expect fragments rather than a complete historic centre. Cruise Web describes Saint-Pierre as the district capital of Martinique's Caribbean North district, known for its arts scene, though that comes from a search result. The Musée Historique is open Monday to Saturday, 09:30 to 17:00. Habitation Depaz is open Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 17:00, and on Saturday from 09:00 to 16:00. These hours come from Wikivoyage and are undated, and the sources give no entry prices. ## For nature and outdoor fans Mount Pelée erupted on 8 May 1902 and destroyed the town, killing around 30,000 people, according to Wikivoyage. A search result gives a different account, saying all but one of the town's 30,000 inhabitants died, and Beyondships says the same. The Volcano Museum, founded in 1932, is open daily from 09:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 17:00. Cruise Web attributes its founding to the volcanologist Frank Perret. The Centre of Earth Sciences is open Wednesday to Sunday, 09:00 to 17:00. Wreck diving in the harbour is a highlight, according to Wikivoyage, with about 13 wrecks from the 1902 eruption lying in shallow water. Diving operators listed are Bulles Passion and TropicaSub. The Bureau de la Randonnée offers canyoning and hiking, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00. The sources give no prices for dives or walks, so ask the operator before you book, and confirm the time you need to be back at the landing. The Wikivoyage page is undated, so check opening times on arrival. Cruise Web and Beyondships come from search results, not full pages. ## Getting around and money Two banks stand on Rue Victor Hugo: Crédit Agricole and Crédit Martiniquais, which is open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 16:30. The police are at the Sub-Prefecture, and the post office is on Rue Victor Hugo at Rue du Général de Gaulle. The tourist office on Rue Victor Hugo is open Monday to Thursday, 09:00 to 17:00, and on Friday and Saturday, 09:00 to 13:00. Note the phone numbers for the tourist office, museums and services before you leave the ship, and check office and museum hours on the day. The Wikivoyage page does not state the currency or mobile coverage, so check the euro (listed as unverified) before you spend. The sources read are undated, and some hours may have changed, so the tourist office is the best place to check current opening times. The transport sections of the Wikivoyage page are empty, so the sources give no taxi or bus options. The sources do not describe food, shops or places to eat, so ask at the tourist office for current options. ## Accessibility & mobility The sources do not describe tender boarding, the landing point or step-free routes. The town is small, but its pavements and slopes are not described. Ask the ship about tender access before you book any activity ashore, and check whether the diving or hiking operator can take passengers with limited mobility.
