5 Reasons Curacao Needs To Be On Your Caribbean Radar

3 years ago

I recently visited Curacao when I cruised there with Royal Caribbean. I immediately fell in love with this island. One thing I love about cruises is you get a snapshot of many places and can decide where you want to go and stay on your next vacation. For me, it’s Curacao.

When it comes to planning a trip where the fun in the sun and beaches you only see on television are concerned, the Caribbean is one of the premier destinations in the world. It is an area that people flock from all over to admire the beauty and fun the Caribbean delivers.

Often when people think about going to the Caribbean, they look into visiting St. Kitts, Grand Cayman, Saint Martin, or Antigua. These are amazing places that have so much to offer visitors, but they are not the only choices. There is an island that tends to get overlooked by many: Curacao.

5 Reasons To Consider Curacao

Curacao is a beautiful island that is located just east of Aruba and just off the coast of Venezuela. Curacao has so much to offer visitors, and here are five reasons as to why Curacao needs to be on anyone’s radar if they’re looking to take a trip to the Caribbean.

We have several ways we are sending clients to Curacao here’s a sample of some of our personal favorites.
