Cruises visiting Curaçao (Curaçao)

In the Caribbean Sea, Curaçao, an autonomous state belonging to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, unveils its rich colonial heritage and natural beauty to travellers who venture there. Willemstad, Curaçao's main town, is a colourful gem. Its flamboyant architecture and the entrance to its harbour are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, earning it the nickname 'Amsterdam of the Tropics'. Curaçao is also a natural treasure trove with white sandy beaches and shallow waters revealing exceptional coral reefs and marine life. Its semi-arid climate makes it an ideal area for cacti and thorny shrubs to flourish, as well as for the cultivation of citrus fruits, the peel of which is the source of its eponymous liqueur.
