Aruba Cruises from Ft Lauderdale

There are a lot of cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Aruba. Journeys to the islands of the Southern Caribbean often include this little piece of paradise. The complete list of departures is below.

Aruba is located in the far south of the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela. It is one of the 3 "ABC islands" along with Bonaire and Curacao. Oranjestad is the capital and largest town. The official languages are Dutch and Papiamento, but English is known by many.

Cruise ships dock in Oranjestad, which is a fine place to shop. Some of the items are jewelry, perfume, leather goods, local crafts, Dutch Delft and Dutch cheese. A trolley offers free rides downtown.

Popular shore excursions are island Jeep tours, go snorkeling, sail on a catamaran, see a butterfly farm, or walk in Arikok National Park. At the beach you may be visited by flamingos.
