Aruba is a Caribbean island 15 miles north of the coast of Venezuela. It's one of the four "countries" that together form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This island is renowned for its white sand beaches and tropical climate moderated by constant flowing trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean.

Hours Extended: Passengers to Experience 14 Hours in Port - Plan your Exciting Day Now

All excursions for Aruba will be released in a couple of days, but with 14 hours in port, there will be plenty of time to explore the island day and night. This will be an adventure you will never forget. 

Fun Activities:

•Take a ride on Skyline Drive and enjoy a breathtaking view of St. Thomas Harbor.

•Check out Coral World Marine Park, where you can touch sea stars at the touch pool or explore the mystery of life in a mangrove lagoon off the Coastal Trail.

•Take a tour of the major island landmarks to view the lovely vistas, enjoy spectacular shopping and explore the stunning Magen's Bay Beach.

•No diving experience is required for a guided underwater exploration off St. Thomas with The BOSS - a Breathing Observation Submersible Scooter.

•Blast out of the water and soar like Ironman on a fly board.

That's right. Take off some clothes, or feel free to take off all your clothes. Being a private island owned by RCCL, there will be lots of options for fun (see diagram above).

CocoCay also has an area with 34 totally private cabanas that hold 4 people each. So get your group together and order one from your Travel Agent before they sell out. Each cabana will have an Island Concierge. More details coming soon..

Even Better - All Drink Packages Honored

All guests who purchase drink packages on the Celebrity Equinox get even greater value. Unlike other ports, on CocoCay, your ship's beverage package is honored and included. This is a unique perk for passengers that purchase a Drink Package.

There are also bars everywhere, along with multiple roaming bar staff, offering every drink imaginable. If you don't have a drink package, that's OK too. Just use your Sail n' Sign card and you're all set.

In addition to drinks, there will be plenty of food, chairs, sun loungers, hammocks and bathrooms (all well maintained and clean). Everything is colored to create a beautiful tropical atmosphere that is unforgettable. CocoCay also features live music and more.
