Tropical Tapestry – Oranjestad & Panama

About this cruise

By September 20, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Cartagena, visiting Oranjestad, Willemstad and Colon, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It splits nicely: 3 days seeing places and 3 days doing nothing at all. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. 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, 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. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
