Curacao / Special Interests / Cruise Ship

By Sara Macefield

Curacao appears on cruise routes of the western Caribbean or as a stopping-off point on voyages through the Panama Canal to the Pacific. The capital Willemstad attracts a mix of large and small cruise ships, including those from Princess Cruises, Cunard Line and Norwegian Cruise Line, plus upmarket companies such as Crystal Cruises.

Ships we recommend are owned by the following companies:

Compagnie du Ponant - Gallic luxury and continental charm are the hallmarks of this upscale line’s fleet of five ships, including a three-masted yacht and three mega-yachts, which offer bilingual sailings in sumptuous surrounds.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises - Its three ships exude spacious elegance and plush surroundings along with first-rate service and outstanding cuisine.

Silversea - Seriously upmarket and unashamedly opulent, this family-owned line’s six ships offer all-suite accommodation, first-rate service and exquisite cuisine.
