Pastel Skyline – Curacao & Aruba

About this cruise

By September 12, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Colon, visiting Cartagena, Oranjestad and Willemstad, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Colombia, Aruba and Curaçao. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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 takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Colon has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
