Caribbean Island Hop – Cartagena & Willemstad

About this cruise

By April 19, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 6 nights out of Cartagena, visiting Willemstad, Oranjestad and Colon, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The trip wraps in Colon, so you won't retrace your steps. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The Caribbean route takes in Curaçao, Aruba and Panama, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 13 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Serenade Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 6-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
