BEST ARUBA CRUISE CHOICES THROUGH BLUESUN TRAVEL

Discover our amazing Aruba Caribbean Cruises and pacakges.

Aruba is the smallest of the Dutch Leeward islands but it packs a lot of punch in terms of raw untarnished beauty. Blessed with true Caribbean white sandy beaches, crystal clear aquamarine waters and a climate that is gently breezy, thanks to the trade winds, it is a favourite marriage destination for good reason.

The capital Oranjestad is typically old world Dutch and a wonderful place to shop for souvenirs and trinkets. But let’s stop talking about it and go there.

Why Cruises to Aruba Are Simply Unforgettable

Known as the “One Happy Island,” Aruba is a dream stop on any Caribbean cruise itinerary. With its year-round sunshine, powder-white beaches, and vibrant Dutch-Caribbean culture, it’s easy to see why this island consistently ranks as a traveller favourite.

Cruising to Aruba means you arrive right in the heart of its capital, Oranjestad, where colourful Dutch architecture meets the laid-back rhythms of the tropics. From here, everything is within reach — whether you’re after world-class beaches, outdoor adventure, or cultural exploration.

Beaches and Relaxation

Aruba’s shoreline is legendary. Eagle Beach has been voted among the world’s best, offering soft sand and calm turquoise waters, while Palm Beach buzzes with water sports, bars, and resorts. For those seeking quieter beauty, Baby Beach is a shallow lagoon perfect for families and snorkelling.

Adventure Awaits

Beyond the beach, Aruba is full of surprises. Explore Arikok National Park, where desert landscapes meet rugged coastlines, caves, and unique wildlife. Off-road tours, horseback riding, and ATV excursions take you into the island’s wilder side. Water lovers can dive or snorkel vibrant reefs, spot sea turtles, or even try windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Culture and Flavour

Aruba’s culture is a rich blend of Dutch, Caribbean, and Latin American influences. Stroll through Oranjestad’s lively streets, shop for local crafts, or sample Aruban specialties like fresh seafood and pastechi (savory pastries). The island also has a lively nightlife, with casinos, dance clubs, and beach bars.

Why Choose a Cruise

Arriving by cruise adds an effortless layer of convenience — no flights, no packing and unpacking, just step ashore and explore. With itineraries often combining Aruba with other stunning Caribbean islands, you get a taste of paradise in multiple destinations, all from the comfort of your ship.

Aruba truly is the jewel of the southern Caribbean — sunny, safe, and unforgettable.
