Port Information

Lounge on a powdery white sand beach in Aruba and go snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs of Bonaire. Visit Curacao’s historic forts and colorful harbor, experience the thrill of cruising across the Panama Canal, or take in the beauty and Georgian architecture of Falmouth.

Oranjestad, Aruba 

The capital of Aruba is made for walking. Browse the candy-colored townhouses, architectural details, and open-air patios that define this charming Dutch community. Gentle trade winds tame the Caribbean sun, and maintain the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. When it’s beach time, dig your toes into the soft white sand and soak your skin in the warm Caribbean water.  

Falmouth, Jamaica

Discover a town with a deep history, layered with Georgian style architecture. Enjoy several exciting sites, such as The Glistening Waters, a sight where micro-organisms can glow brightly at night, one of four locations in the world, which you can see them, no matter the temperature or day! You can also experience The Jamaica Swamp Safari Village, initially a 50-acre Crocodile farm, now turned into a sanctuary for the powerful, yet beautiful creatures, and was even a film location for the James Bond film "Live and Let Die," where the villain(Dr. Kanaga) was even named after its original founder.

Willemstad, Curacao

Experience a traditional Dutch cityscape painted in distinctly Caribbean colors. You'll want to stroll the magnificent waterfront, admire the colonial buildings, and explore the backstreet cafés, shops, museums, and galleries of Willemstad.  Visit 17th-century Fort Amsterdam in the historic area, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
