Lush Isthmus – Colon & Curacao

About this cruise

7 nights, 3 ports, all from Cartagena on May 17, 2026. The route visits Oranjestad, Willemstad and Colon and the whole thing just flows. The pace is well balanced: 3 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. The Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Curaçao and Panama, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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, 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. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
