Island Escapes – Aruba & Bonaire

About this cruise

This one leaves Cartagena on March 1, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Kralendijk, Oranjestad and Colon at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Caribbean Netherlands, Aruba and Panama. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Serenade Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
