Deep Water Bloom – Cartagena & Curacao

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Colon on October 10, 2026 and visits Cartagena, Oranjestad and Willemstad. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Colombia, Aruba and Curaçao. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 8 restaurants on Grandeur Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Colon and come back with stories from Colombia, Aruba and Curaçao.
