Roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida || Sailing Nov. 20, 2021 on Caribbean Princess.

Aruba

Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast: the island's arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast. Aruba's long and colorful heritage is reflected in its dialect. Called Papiamento, it is a tongue that combines elements of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, African and English.

Points of Interest:

  • California Lighthouse
  • Oranjestad
  • The "Antilla" Shipwreck
  • Baby Natural Bridge
  • Ayo or Casibari Rock Formations
  • Ostrich Attraction
  • Beaches
  • Butterfly Farm

Curaçao

Historians still contend over which European adventurer first spied the largest island in the former Netherlands Antilles. Some historians claim the honor for Alonzo de Ojeda; other historians champion Amerigo Vespucci. Little does it matter; today's travelers are content to bask beneath sunny skies cooled by the trade winds. Lying some 40 miles off Venezuela, Curaçao boasts a landscape that is dramatic, stark, and volcanic. In contrast, Willemstad, the capital, seems a cozy Dutch haven with its neat row houses. And while those gabled and tiled roofs illustrate the island's heritage, the bright, pastel houses speak pure Caribbean. Islanders themselves reflect this same colorful contrast: over 50 different nationalities have come to call Curaçao their home.

Points of Interest:

  • Willemstad
  • Fort Amsterdam
  • Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge
  • National Park
  • Hato Caves
  • Ostrich Farm
  • Snorkeling
  • Beaches

Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos

Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a small island bursting with turn-of-the-century Caribbean charm, retaining the look and feel of the Caribbean 40 years ago. Grand Turk was founded by Bermudan salt rakers some three centuries ago and its Bermudan-British-colonial architecture surrounded by colorful local dwellings make the island a treasure to visit. It is recognized as being one of the first places in the New World where Christopher Columbus landed and also gained worldwide attention when John Glenn splashed down near Grand Turk on his historic first mission to space. Grand Turk is blessed with miles of uncrowded, beautiful beaches and is close to several uninhabited cays such as Gibb's Cay, home of the stingray encounter. Grand Turk is world-famous for its healthy and beautiful coral reefs that surround the island, stretching almost from the coastline to the 7,000-foot vertical wall just offshore.

Points of Interest:

  • Cockburn Town
  • Turks & Caicos National Museum
  • Grand Turk Lighthouse
  • Gibb's Cay
  • Beaches
  • Snorkeling & Diving
  • Outdoor Adventure
  • Grand Quay Salt Company
