Embark from Florida: A Gateway to Caribbean Wonders & Beyond
Visiting the southern Caribbean island of Curacao, 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 Curacao, 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 Curacao, 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 Curacao, choose one of the cruises that depart out of Florida.
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.
