There are a number of cruise lines that will stop at all three islands on one itinerary or you can visit them an island at a time. These islands are great to visit any time fo the year as they are below the hurricane belt and vary rarely get bad weather. Aruba is probably the most popular island. So let’s start there with some of the fun activities to do in Aruba.
