Gravely Bay – Aruba & Willemstad

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Colon on January 2, 2027 visits Cartagena, Oranjestad and Willemstad. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Colon, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Clear water and warm sand at every stop. It's the Caribbean, so you probably already know what to expect. Don't rush through Oranjestad, which is known as Aruba's cheerful Dutch-Caribbean capital. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Grandeur Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Colon before boarding. It's a good city to wander. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
