Exotic Haven – Aruba & Curacao

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Fort Lauderdale on April 18, 2026 visits Oranjestad, Willemstad and CocoCay. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 17 restaurants on Oasis Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
