FAQs

Do I Need a Passport for a Southern Caribbean Cruise?

Most Southern Caribbean sailings visit multiple countries (Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire are part of the Netherlands), so a valid passport is required for these itineraries, unlike some closed-loop Western/Eastern Caribbean routes.

When Is the Best Time to Cruise the Southern Caribbean?

The Southern Caribbean sits outside the hurricane belt, making it a reliable choice nearly year-round, with November through April offering the driest, sunniest conditions.

What Makes the ABC Islands Different from Other Caribbean Ports?

Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao offer a unique Dutch Caribbean culture, some of the best diving and snorkeling in the region, and consistently dry weather.

What Should I Pack for a Southern Caribbean Cruise?

Pack lightweight clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes for rocky coastlines, and snorkel or dive gear if you plan to explore Bonaire’s marine park.
