Visiting the southern Caribbean island of Aruba, one of the three ABC islands, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The best way to do this is by planning a cruise from one of the many Florida ports.
Florida, known as “The Sunshine State,” is also a top-ranked holiday destination in its own right. With so much to do in Florida, it’s worth spending a few days there before or after your cruise. As a sun, sea, and sand location, Florida attracts all kinds of travelers, from partygoers to retirees, nature lovers, thrill seekers, and even foodies, not to mention beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Explore some of Florida’s busy, modern cities, quiet beach towns, and beautiful natural areas.
If you’re thinking about taking a cruise from Florida with a stop in Aruba, you have four ports to choose from: Miami, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Tampa, and Port Canaveral (Orlando). Whichever departure port you choose on your journey from Florida to the South Caribbean island of Aruba, with multiple stops in all kinds of different ports, you’ll be greeted by sandy white beaches, tropical weather, lush green landscapes, and colorful cultures.
So, if you want a vacation that is both exciting and restful, with a layover in Aruba, choose one of the cruises that depart out of Florida.
Aruba, a tiny Dutch Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean Sea, has dry, sunny weather, blond beaches, and gentle surf. Because of that, Aruba is a very popular port of call for cruise ships. Ships dock at the Port Authority in Aruba’s quaint capital, Oranjestad.
Together with Bonaire and Curacao, Aruba forms a group referred to as the ABC islands. Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. Constant trade winds bring cool breezes and cause the divi-divi trees to slope southwesterly. European influence shows in architecture that features Dutch gables painted in tropical pastels. It’s also evident in language, with English, Dutch, and Spanish spoken alongside the local tongue, Papiamento. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city.
The main port, Oranjestad, gives guests plenty of choices for dining, nightlife, and shopping in the city. Aruba offers plenty of other attractions and activities that are well worth exploring during your stay.
