Aruba Cruises, Vacations to Bonaire and Curacao Travel

01/30/2008 04:01 p.m.

This clutch of Caribbean islands would really be a great budget cruise location as your travel agent will no doubt tell you. The islands are all tourist-friendly and that makes your holiday there very enjoyable. Everything’s so warm – the sun, the sea, the people. Well, a little correction there – the night life is hot!

Aruba is the beautiful island of smiles. The beaches of Aruba beg you to come and be a sun or a water baby while Aruba's countryside has its protected parks, exotic birds and incredible flowers and plants. During the day while on vacation in Aruba  (which is an amazing budget cruise location), you can have a blast with your pick of water sports and at night, there’s a vibrant scene going on at the casinos and the dance clubs. Aruba is an old island that says, ‘Welcome’ from the word Go – well in the Aruban native tongue, Papiamento, that would be Bonbini.

If Bonaire is a repository of some of the best coral and marine life, it’s because it enacted legislation a long time ago to keep it so. The untouched beauty of this place is stunning and its Marine Park is well worth a visit. From a vast variety of reef fish that is supposed to encompass the world’s most diverse types in a spectrum of incredible hues to coral of every kind – soft coral, fire coral, stag, elkhorn, patch reefs.

Then of course, there’s Curaçao, a place where so many different cultures are woven together to form a wonderful tapestry of customs and color. The influence of the Dutch rule is fairly obvious in the old buildings and the food. But through it run strains of African and Jewish culture, some Spanish and Italian influences and of course, the ethnic inhabitants, the Arawak. Don’t let’s forget the famous liqueur from here – while the blue variant is the one that’s best known, the orange one is also quite delicious. Curacao vacations are truly amazing. 

These wonderful islands in the sun are a great cruise location and your travel agent will be able to work out the best possible vacation that includes the best of all three.
