Authorities on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten are seeking the public’s help to find a missing American cruise ship passenger who disappeared after leaving a tour bus last week.
Ms. Ann Evans, a 55-year-old U.S. citizen, was a passenger on the Holland American Line cruise ship Rotterdam, which was docked in the cruise port of St. Maarten on November 20, 2025.
Disappeared in Marigot
According to the Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM), Evans left the ship around 10:00 AM for an island tour shore excursion.
The tour bus made a stop in Marigot, which is on the French side of the island. Evans stepped off the bus there but did not return to the vehicle or to the cruise ship afterward.
Search is Underway
Police forces on both the Dutch side (KPSM) and the French side (Gendarmerie) of the island have been alerted and are working together in the search.
Authorities are asking anyone who has seen Ms. Evans or who knows where she might be to contact them immediately.

- Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM): +1 (721) 542-2222
- Gendarmerie / French Police (Saint-Martin): +590 590-29-25-25
