Tropical Paradise – Cartagena & Aruba

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Colon on January 30, 2027 and visits Cartagena, Willemstad, Oranjestad and Kralendijk. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Caribbean route takes in Colombia, Curaçao, Aruba and Caribbean Netherlands, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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 keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
