Golden Shores & Beyond – Willemstad & Oranjestad

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from San Juan on March 12, 2028 visits St. Thomas, Kralendijk, Willemstad and Oranjestad. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Caribbean Netherlands, Curaçao and Aruba. Of the stops, Kralendijk tends to be the one people talk about: Bonaire's colourful coral capital. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 8 restaurants on Vision Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
