Sun-Drenched Gables – Oranjestad & Willemstad

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on October 17, 2026 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. 3 countries (Aruba, Caribbean Netherlands and Curaçao) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Magic. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 8-night sailing is a strong place to start.
