Trade Wind Drift – Aruba & Panama

About this cruise

You sail from Cartagena on April 5, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Oranjestad, Willemstad and Colon. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Aruba, Curaçao and Panama. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Serenade Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
