Cruises from Port Canaveral to Curacao

Curacao, one of the three ABC islands in the southern Caribbean, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. As a matter of fact, you can easily get there by taking one of the cruises that depart out of Port Canaveral (Orlando).

Port Canaveral welcomes many cruise ships all year, offering a wide range of itineraries to Curacao. Some of the world’s most innovative cruise lines call one of the five cruise terminals in Port Canaveral home. These include Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean, offering many different routes to Curacao. A cruise from Port Canaveral (Orlando) is one of the most popular ways to see this region of the world.

But Florida’s mid-Atlantic Coast and Orlando City are both worthwhile to explore before or after a cruise. Port Canaveral is only a 45-minute drive from Orlando International Airport and all of the attractions in the Orlando area. Its great position allows visitors to enjoy the wonders and magic of the “Theme Park Capital of the World.” There, you can enjoy open-air activities at Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, and Legoland, among other attractions. And then there is also the Kennedy Space Center, offering tourists a glimpse into the world of space and technology.

If you want to unwind before or after your cruise to Curacao, Orlando and its surrounding areas are ideal.

Curacao, Dutch Caribbean

Curacao, along with Bonaire and Aruba, form the ABC islands, which are located near the coast of Venezuela. Curacao, a Dutch Caribbean island, is famed for its tucked-away beaches and enormous coral reefs teeming with marine life. Curacao has two main docking areas, one of which is the new Curacao Giant Pier, which is meant for megaships. Smaller ships dock at the Curacao Cruise Terminal (Mathey Wharf), which is a short walk from the floating Queen Emma Bridge, which connects the city’s main shopping and business districts. This pier is in West Willemstad, just a short walk from downtown. Willemstad, the capital, boasts pastel-colored colonial buildings, a floating Queen Emma Bridge, and the sand-floored Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue from the 17th century. It also serves as a gateway to western beaches such as Blue Bay, a popular diving destination.

Florida has the largest selection of cruise deals to Curacao.
