Silent Shoal – Colombia & Curacao
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Colon on December 19, 2026 visits Cartagena, Oranjestad and Kralendijk. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Colombia, Aruba and Caribbean Netherlands. People come back from this cruise talking about Kralendijk: Bonaire's colourful coral capital. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 8 restaurants on Grandeur Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Colon itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 3 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
