Gilded Reefs – Amber Cove, Aruba & Curaçao

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Fort Lauderdale on December 12, 2026 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Oranjestad and Willemstad and doesn't try to cram in too much. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Willemstad, UNESCO colour against Caribbean blue. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Regal Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
