Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao: The Archipelago of Fun in the Caribbean

Published on February 6, 2020

This Caribbean islands trifecta is famous for embracing different cultures and having some of the most iconic vistas in the tropics. Aruba is famous for its lively Caribbean spirit, while Bonaire is known for its quiet and remote vibe, and Curacao has colorful architecture and picture-perfect beaches.

Aruba is one of the best Caribbean islands to visit and has a fantastic blend of different cultures that includes indigenous Spanish , African , Dutch, and South American influences. This melting pot is home to close to one hundred nationalities and two official languages, Dutch and Papiamento. Many residents speak even more, including English and Spanish. Aruban culture is all about the spirit of celebration and having an appreciation for the diversity of the island.

You can catch a glimpse of this island medley of cultures in galleries like Unoca, theaters like Cas di Cultura, and places like The National Archaeological Museum Aruba, the Aloe Museum and Factory, and the Arubian Taste Liqueur and Rum Shop. Also stop by Cosecha, a century-old building bursting with local arts and crafts in Oranjestad, and The Creative Center, which is connected to Cosecha and has art classes. Aruba's music is also the result of diverse cultures blending beautifully, with the rhythms including calypso, Tumba, brass and the famous Roadmarch dancing. The latter is seen during carnival month but you can see street festivities, impressive costumes, local music and creative parades all year long. The Bonbini Aruba Festival takes place every Tuesday and offers folkloric music and dance while the Caribbean Festival comes to life every Thursday night with performers, food stands, and crafts. Others include the Dera Gai celebration, the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival, and the Summer Music Festival during June.

Just like the arts and culture, Aruba's food is a mix of Caribbean , Dutch , African, and Latin American flavors. Fresh seafood, fried delicacies, wholesome stews, and tasty soups are all incorporated. Dishes like pan bati (a sweet and soft flatbread), cabrito stoba (a popular goat stew), and keri keri (a delicious fish soup) are all local staples and easy to find around the island. For drinks, there's beer (the most popular is Balashi) and cocktails like Aruba Ariba, which has a distinctive bright red color. For desserts, go with bolo di banana, a plantain pudding, or with pan bollo, a bread pudding served with rum sauce and a side of vanilla ice cream.

Head to north Aruba to find natural wonders like the Arikok National Park, which has hiking trails and various geological formations, including lava, quartz and limestone. You'll also find some of Aruba's oldest indigenous paintings, made by the Arawaks, as well as gold mines and plantation ruins. Near the park, you can also find Rock Wish Garden, where you can build stone towers that are believed to grant the wishes of those who make them. In the south, you'll find the San Nicolas Bay Reef Islands, which are a perfect place to see the Cayenne tern as well as other tropical birds. Meanwhile, more than 80 species live inside the Bubali Bird Sanctuary, which is close to Eagle Beach.

Aruba is famous for its colorful architecture and you'll find plenty of it on your Southern Caribbean Cruise to Oranjestad , the island's capital. The Dutch buildings house everything from restaurants to shops and bars and allow you to see what it's like to live like a local. You can walk to the lush Wilhelmina Park, which honors Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands with a sculpture made with bright white marble, and see the California lighthouse, which is one of Aruba's most famous landmarks. The lighthouse was completed in 1916 after the steamship California wrecked nearby near the end of the nineteenth century. Another architectural must-see is the Old Dutch Windmill, a relic from when Aruba was owned by Holland which is now a popular restaurant.

If you'd like to try Papiamento, start with "con ta bai?" (how are you?), "danki" (thank you), or "hopi bon" (very good). The currency in Aruba is the florin but every establishment on the island accepts US dollars. Tipping is generally optional, though some bars and restaurants include a 10-15% service charge on your bill. And feel free to drink the water from the tap in Aruba — the water is actually one of the cleanest in the world, which comes in handy when dealing with the strong sun on the island. Keep yourself hydrated!

Indian, African, Asian and European inhabitants formed Bonaire and the islanders keep alive many of the traditions brought by settlers. Religious and holiday celebrations are at the heart of Bonaire culture. Their music is a lively collection of tribal sounds, makeshift instruments and modern beats.

On a Southern Caribbean cruise to Bonaire , you'll find flavorful dishes that often involve seafood and goat. Many come with a side of fungi (a type of polenta), rice and beans and plenty of fried plantains, demonstrating the Latin American influence. An African influence can be seen in the island's cuisine as well with dishes like guiambo (a soup made of okra and seafood). Another delicacy you should try is cocada, a sweet coconut dessert made with sugar, vanilla, rose essence, and coconut. For a quintessential Bonaire eating experience, head to Posada Para Mira in Rincon and try the fish balls and iguana stew or try Brass Boer, which features Asian-inspired dishes like their famous avocado with fish and Indonesian spices.

Some of the instruments that Bonaireans crafted are the bari, a drum made with a small rum barrel covered with sheepskin and the chapi, a percussive instrument that was created from the metal end of a hoe and hit with a metal bar. Plow blades, conch shells and even dried donkey jaws with teeth were also used to make musical sounds. The traditional dances in Bonaire are the Bari and the Simadan but locals also enjoy polka, the merengue, the jazz waltz and the carioca. The Bari is performed during festival time with a lead singer improvising lyrics while the Simadan is performed during harvest time, which occurs during the months of February through April.

Bonaire is a nature enthusiast's paradise and conservation efforts are at the forefront of the tourism industry here. Make sure to meet the flamingos of Bonaire at Gotomeer — they're Bonaire's national bird. You should also head to the Washington Slagbaai National Park. It can take a whole day to see it properly so make sure to stop by the visitor center and museum to plan your visit. Bonaire has a whooping 22 beaches to discover and the island offers soft sand beaches as well as rugged coastline. Atlantis Beach is ideal for kiteboarders, white-sand seekers and those looking for a long beach stroll while Te Amo Beach has tranquil waters with a sandy shoreline and great snorkeling nearby. Playa Chikitu, which is located inside the Washington Slagbaai National Park, is a remote cove with white sand dunes, luminescent waters and sea turtle nests. Be careful there because the currents are strong and swimming is not allowed.

Bonaire has a very low risk of tropical storm activity and temperatures usually stay between 73 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest season runs from May to October but the trade winds send breezes to the island and the rainy season is short, running from October to December. Pack light cotton clothing and breathable shoes to stay cool. Also, bring plenty of sunblock and always keep a water bottle with you to stay hydrated.

Just like the sister islands in the A-B-C Caribbean island chain, Curaçao is influenced by a variety of cultures but on Curaçao, the Dutch influence is by far the strongest — the island is still a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . Papiamento and Dutch are the official languages and English and Spanish are often spoken by locals as well.

Dutch cuisine influences dishes on Curaçao the most, though Afro-Caribbean, Venezuelan and Indonesian influences have also made their way to the Curaçao tables. One of the staples is piska ku funchi, a fresh dish made with polenta, fried plantain and salad. The most popular fish on Curaçao is the red snapper and you'll find many dishes featuring it. Meanwhile, if you're looking for something sweet, try arepa di pampuna, a pumpkin pancake eaten between meals or as a dessert. Pumpkin isn't seasonal on Curaçao so you'll find it as an ingredient in many dishes. You can wash it all down with a Polar or Amstel beer, which are the local favorites.

When it comes to music, Curaçao is known for tumba, a conga-heavy genre that's popular during Carnival period. Dances include waltzes, danzas and mazurkas. Innovations over the decades have included blending the more traditional music with Cuban and Dominican sounds like bolero, merengue and guaracha. You can dance to Curaçao beats in places like Blues Bar, Hofi Fidel and Kokomo Beach.

Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and the candy-colored waterfront town is similar in design and feel to Amsterdam. The airy European plazas, lively markets and artisanal stands add to the vibe of the sunny city while places like Papagayo Hotel feature minimalist designs.

Spots you should see include Christoffelpark, which is a protected park with a peak that's the island's highest at 375 meters above sea level. It houses old plantations, mansion ruins and ancient drawings. You should also visit the Hato Caves, which has stalactites, stalagmites, underground lakes and waterfalls. For beaches, Cas Abao, Playa Lagun, Playa Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara Beach all offer white sandy shores great for swimming, snorkeling or just lounging.

Like the other two islands, Curaçao is hot and it's important to pack accordingly. Comfortable, breathable shoes and light clothing are ideal. To really see the island, it's recommended that you rent a car and you'll need a credit card to do so. Curaçao is considered to be safe but you should always practice common sense and keep your belongings close.

What to Do at the Gorgeous Cruise Port of Curaçao

H ave you ever dreamed of visiting the enchanting island or cruise port of Curaçao? I had the opportunity to explore this stunning destination during a Southern Caribbean cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines.

My husband, Eddie, and I ventured off independently and skipped the organized ship excursions. We wanted to discover the hidden gems and capture some fantastic photos on this small Dutch Caribbean island.

Curaçao’s History and Fun Facts

Curaçao is the largest of the ABC islands, home to around 150,000 residents. The crystal-clear blue waters, which remain a warm 30 degrees Celsius all year round, are breathtaking. While the primary language is Papiamento, most residents also speak Spanish, Dutch, and English, making it easy to communicate with the friendly locals.

Exploring Willemstad

Upon docking our Carnival Vista cruise ship at the Mega Pier, we couldn’t contain our excitement to explore the beauty we had already glimpsed from our cabin balcony. We strolled through the nearby shopping complex, but our main destination was the capital city of Willemstad.

As we wandered the streets of Willemstad, we snapped countless pictures, indulged in some local souvenir shopping, and soaked up the glorious sunshine. Little did we know that we were about to stumble upon a true marvel of engineering – the famous Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge , also known as the swinging bridge.

Just as we crossed the bridge, the gates came down, and the bridge started moving. We were utterly surprised, as we had no idea it was a floating bridge. We glided across the river on this unique structure with a handful of other amazed tourists. The experience took about 45 minutes, giving way to a passing boat, and was truly unforgettable.

Curaçao: Pretty as a Picture

Willemstad is divided into two areas – Punda and Otrobanda. Punda is where you’ll find the vibrant colored houses, while Otrobanda is where most locals reside. The picturesque row of brightly painted houses along the waterfront, known as Handelskade, is a sight to behold. This charming area is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Trust me, it’s a photographer’s paradise.

Take advantage of the Floating Market, where small fishing boats dock and sell an array of fresh fruits and vegetables. And let’s not forget about the iconic Blue Curaçao, a liqueur made from the laraha (Curaçao orange) fruit. Free tours are available at the Blue Curaçao Factory (Landhuis Chobolobo), where samples are a given at the end.

Pro Tip: My favorite drink that has Blue Curaçao is the Blue Hawaii. 

Of course, we had to take a break and indulge in local cuisine. We enjoyed chips & salsa, nachos, and other traditional dishes like Pastechi cheese, conch, Kabritu (goat stew), curry chicken, rice, and Ayaka (meat pies wrapped in banana leaves). And if you’re a seafood lover, you’ll be in heaven with the day’s fresh catch.

Another Day, Another Port

Our visit to the cruise port of Curaçao was an absolute dream come true. We savored every moment and created memories that will last a lifetime. So, what Caribbean islands are on your travel bucket list? Curaçao should be at the top!

The culture-rich Caribbean cruises that go beyond sun, sea and cocktails

The Caribbean has long been a popular cruise destination for British holidaymakers – but with its well-serviced routes and winter-sun appeal, it’s all too often dismissed as little more than sun, beaches, rum and calypso. In reality, however, it is one of the most diverse and fascinating regions on the planet, encompassing more than 7,000 islands and a vast number of disparate cultures and traditions, many of them still relatively off the beaten track.

Now, cruise lines are beginning to branch out, widening their horizons to include more of the Caribbean’s lesser-known corners, catering to passengers who want to eschew the sail-and-flop in favour of culture, history and a more authentic experience.

Their itineraries take in various offbeat islands, but also sweep around the Caribbean’s western edge from Venezuela to Mexico , taking in the tiny San Blas Islands off Panama, the incredible rainforest wildlife of Costa Rica and the deep rivers of Belize, revealing rediscovered Mayan cities and pyramids.

Truly, this is a world far beyond the classic Caribbean – and one that’s now easier than ever to discover. The five routes below help provide some inspiration.

Leeward Islands

The Leeward Islands mark the eastern boundary of the Caribbean, and exploring them under sail is quite an experience. The pink sands of Barbuda are perfect for snorkelling and swimming, while Dominica possesses a vibrant mixture of European and African cultures, with the Caribbean’s only remaining population of pre-Columbian Carib Indians.

Guadeloupe’s capital, Pointe-à-Pitre, offers a blend of French and Creole culture, historic buildings and lively markets. Admire the bright yellow cathedral of St-Pierre and St-Paul, then head for Nelson’s Dockyard in Falmouth Harbour, where you can watch the world go by at a waterside cafe.

Book it:  Star Clippers (01473 242666; starclippers.co.uk ) has the seven-night Leeward Islands cruise from £1,307pp (cruise-only), full-board. Price includes a 20 per cent Early Booking Discount, valid until April 30 2024. Calling at Barbuda, Dominica, Terre-de-Haut, Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe, Falmouth Harbour, Antigua, Gustavia, St Barts, Philipsburg and Sint Maarten. Departs Sint Maarten on Dec 14 2024.

Central America

This cruise not only takes you deep into the culture of Central America, but also to the tiny archipelagos that litter its coastline, where you are highly unlikely to see another cruise ship. In English-speaking Belize, you’ll visit ancient Mayan cities and a wildlife-rich coral reef. In Nicaragua, take a taxi to little-explored Big Corn Island with its colourful wildlife statues, then watch hummingbirds feeding in the trees around Honduras’s oldest city, Trujillo, before exploring the remains of its 16 th century colonial past.

Book it:  Hurtigruten Expeditions (02045711385; travelhx.com ) has the 13-day Tropical Waters & Remote Island Communities in the Caribbean cruise from £3,186 per person. Calling at Belize, Utila Island, Cayos, Miskito, Island de la Providencia, Big Corn Island, Bocas del Toro and Colon. Departs Miami on Sept 25 2024.

Eastern Caribbean

Start in the pristine Turks and Caicos Islands (still considered by those in the know to be one of the world’s best kept secrets), paying a visit to the jewel in its crown, Grand Turk, where the diminutive main street of its capital, Cockburn Town, is lined with examples of British Colonial architecture. Next, you’ll sail to quirky Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the island of St Thomas, with its Danish-colonial style houses, then on to Puerto Rico’s San Juan, with its Unesco world heritage old town and El Yunque rainforest tours.

Book it:  Holland America  (0344 338 8605; hollandamerica.com ) has the seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise from £1,219 per person, including all drinks and WiFi. Calling at Grand Turk, St Thomas, San Juan, Half Moon Cay and Fort Lauderdale. Departs Fort Lauderdale on Oct 20 2024.

Southern Caribbean

The islands of the Dutch Caribbean – Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao – kick off this itinerary in unforgettable fashion. In Willemstad, Curaçao’s capital, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled into a brightly repainted version of Amsterdam – but join the locals at the Plasa Bieu, a large covered hall with open kitchens, and a plate of the local Krioyo cuisine will soon prove otherwise. Explore the local fish market in Bonaire’s capital, Kralendijk, and amble to the huge covered market in Fort-de France when you reach Martinique – also notable for its amazing library (imported stone by stone from France) and its beautiful native flowers.

Book it:  Seabourn (0344 338 8615; seabourn.com ) has the 12-Day Treasures Of Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao cruise from £4,799 per person (all inclusive, with WiFi). Calling at Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Martinique, Dominica, St Kitts, Antigua and Tortola. Departs San Juan on Dec 2 2025.

Puerto Rico

Taking in examples of both American and Spanish-influenced Caribbean cultures, this cruise kicks off in St Thomas and concludes in Puerto Rico. The route takes in various exclusive enclaves in between – including St Barths, where the international jet set flee for upmarket solitude, and the privately owned Norman Island, at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands. The latter is said to hold undiscovered pirate loot, but if searching for buried treasure sounds too much like hard work, the beaches of White Bay (and the world famous Soggy Dollar Bar) make a lovely spot to kick off your flip flops and relax in the sun.

Book it: Mundy Cruising (020 7399 7670; mundycruising.co.uk ) has the Virgin Islands and Undiscovered Puerto Rico cruise from £4,995 per person, including return UK flights, one night in Miami, one night in St Thomas, overseas transfers, all meals and drinks, port taxes and gratuities. Calling at Lovango, White Bay, St Barths, Norman Island, Boqueron, Salinas and Puerto Rico. Departs St Thomas on Nov 23 2024.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
