The final stop of the cruise is Curacao, a former Dutch colony known for its vibrant capital, Willemstad. Visitors can enjoy colorful markets, historical tours, and unique experiences like underwater walking. While beautiful, the city lacks enough activities for extended stays. Curacao is a lovely place for a brief stopover, particularly for beach lovers.
