Gravel & Gold – Colon & Aruba

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Cartagena on August 2, 2026 and visits Oranjestad, Willemstad and Colon. It splits nicely: 3 days seeing places and 3 days doing nothing at all. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Aruba to Panama. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grandeur Of The Seas has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
