Salty Serenade – Aruba & Willemstad

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on September 11, 2027 and spends 8 nights visiting Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Willemstad 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 Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Caribbean Netherlands and Curaçao, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Magic keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Aruba, Caribbean Netherlands and Curaçao.
