Island Trails: Aruba to the Virgin Islands
7 nights
Star Pride
6 Mar '28Cruise overview
Discover natural wonders along northern and southern Caribbean beaches during this seven night voyage ranging from islands off South America to Puerto Rico. Roll into Curacao’s lush wilds on a 4×4 tour seeking sunning lizards and pink flamingos. Snorkel between coral reefs and undulating sea grass at Bonaire Marine Park, a 6,700-acre sanctuary rich in tarpon, parrotfish, reef perch, and several sea turtle species. Sip sparkling wine or your preferred beverage during a romantic sunset sailing beyond the twinkling lights of Gustavia Harbor’s nightlife. Swim and play with friendly dolphins on balmy Jost Van Dyke. Explore the landmark Baths–massive granite boulders–on the white powdery sands of Virgin Gorda prior to spending the afternoon on this warm beach or in Devil’s Bay’s clear waters.
Itinerary
Oranjestad
Aruba’s capital is easily explored on foot. Its palm-lined central thoroughfare runs between old and new pastel-painted buildings of typical Dutch design (Spanish influence is also evident in some of the architecture). There are a lot of malls with boutiques and shops—the Renaissance mall carries high-end luxury items and designer fashions. A massive renovation in downtown has given Main Street (a.k.a. Caya G. F. Betico Croes) behind the Renaissance Resort a whole new lease on life: boutique malls, shops, and restaurants have opened next to well-loved family-run businesses. The pedestrian-only walkway and resting areas have unclogged the street, and the new eco-trolley is free and a great way to get around. At this writing, Linear Park was well and will showcase local merchants and artists. There will be activities along a boardwalk that will eventually run all the way to the end of Palm Beach, making it the longest of its kind in the Caribbean.
