Cruises That Go To Aruba: What’s All The Buzz About?

There are a lot of cruise lines stopping over Aruba because of its outstanding tourism growth and figures. Recently, Aruba made a solid mark in the cruise market generating  over 50% growth in terms of cruise passengers. Italian Line, Costa Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Royal Cruise Line, Majestic Cruise Line, Cunard and Sun Line are just some of the liners that are competing with each other to take visitors to this  spectacular paradise in the Caribbean every year. The Aruba Ports Authority has been very busy together with the Cruise Tourism Authority making renovation plans to further improve amenities and surroundings.  So it looks like the best is yet to come.

Summer is the most popular time to visit Aruba. All southern Caribbean cruises make a stop over Aruba in Aruba.   Most long voyages usually include Aruba since it is a bit far South, about  20 kilometers from Valenzuela.

Water Lovers and Sun bathers: Aruba Welcomes You

Oranjestad is a beautiful place featuring duty-free shopping, world-class dining and a booming nightlife. All the commotion downtown is backed by warm and sunny weather, friendly and outgoing people plus the sparkling ocean just a few miles away. Eagle Beach and Palm Beach are some of the best beaches available where windsurfers, snorkeling fanatics and sunbathers spend most of their days.


Aruba Cruise Tips

Arrival in Aruba is at the modern cruise terminal at Oranjestad. There are booths and tourist centers in the area providing maps, brochures and welcome trinkets for visitors. ATM machines, shops and local stores are also found all around the terminal.

Dutch is the official language in Aruba, but English and Spanish are spoken widely across the island.  One Aruba florin is equivalent to about 55 U.S. cents but U.S. dollars are also accepted in most establishments.
