Cruises to Aruba in 2026 & 2027

Aruba is a Dutch Caribbean island and a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Cruise ships usually call at Oranjestad, the capital, where passengers can reach shops, cafés, colourful Dutch-influenced buildings and waterfront areas close to the pier. Many visitors head for beaches such as Eagle Beach or Palm Beach. In contrast, others take island tours to the California Lighthouse, rock formations, desert-like landscapes and coastal viewpoints. Aruba is drier than many Caribbean islands, with steady trade winds and wide open skies. It suits passengers who want beach time, easy sightseeing and a relaxed island call.
