This 9-night Caribbean (Eastern) cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette by Celebrity Cruises departs Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) on February 26, 2027, calling at Grand Cayman (George Town), Port of Oranjestad, Curacao, Bonaire, and returns March 7, 2027. Cabin prices start from $3,411 per person.
Fort Lauderdale cruise port, officially Port Everglades, is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world and the closest major competitor to PortMiami, just 25 miles to the south. It sits on the southeastern coast of Florida across the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean known for Seven Mile Beach, exceptional diving, and its role as a major offshore financial center. George Town serves as the cruise port, but there's no pier large enough for cruise ships.
Aruba's capital sits just 15 miles off the Venezuelan coast, and it's one of the southern Caribbean's most popular cruise stops for good reason. Five berths across three air-conditioned terminals handle up to five ships at once, with water depths of 32 to 36 feet.
You've probably seen photos of Willemstad even if you don't realize it: that row of pastel-colored Dutch colonial buildings along the Handelskade is one of the most photographed waterfronts in the Caribbean. It's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
A diver's and snorkeler's paradise, Bonaire is surrounded by a protected marine park with over 80 marked dive sites accessible from shore. The island's laid-back atmosphere and flamingo sanctuary at Goto Lake offer a quieter Caribbean experience.
