Willemstad, Curacao - A little bit of Dutch in the Caribbean Blue. #WOW RCI Port of Call.

Royal Caribbean International- Port of Call: Willemstad, Curacao- A little bit of Dutch in the Caribbean. #WOW

Curaçao is the largest of the six islands that comprise the Netherlands Antilles. It gained autonomy from the Netherlands in 1954, but the Dutch influence is still very visible in Willemstad's architecture and culture. With the growth of the oil industry in Curaçao in the early 20th century, workers and their families came to the island from more than 50 countries, providing a varied and vibrant population. Everyone should experience the sights, sounds and energy of this unique destination.

Visiting this island is like a visit to the Netherlands. Enjoy exploring the city center with it's floating market and colorful merchant houses. You can also go across the famous floating bridge to Fort Amsterdam on your way back to the ship.

Enjoy a guided trolley-train tour of this quaint city with its distinctive Dutch architecture.

A fascinating experience is a visit to the Curacao Sea Aquarium and Dolphin Academy. Royal Caribbean offers a terrific shore excursion to enjoy the experience of touching and perhaps hugging a dolphin, while learning about these amazing creatures.

Royal Caribbean advises not to miss! -Explore Hato Caves and their mystical underground lake. After crossing the lake, you'll enter two large caverns with ancient Indian petroglyphs. This surreal underground world is an amazing, memorable experience on the Island of Curacao.
