Paradise Pursuit – Aruba & Curacao

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on January 27, 2027 visits Oranjestad, Willemstad, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales and CocoCay and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. 4 countries (Aruba, Curaçao, Dominican Republic and Bahamas) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Dominican Republic's unspoiled southwestern coast. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Explorer Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
