ENJOY A SUNSET/MOONRISE CRUISE IN ARUBA

5.00When visiting Aruba in September we wanted something different than our usual sunset cruise, which we have done every year for many years now. The concierge at Casa Del Mar/Aruba Beach Club suggested the Aruba Sunset Celestial Cruise, as there was going to be a full moon while we were there. She explained it was a sunset cruise which extended into a moonrise cruise so we decided to book it. We couldn't have been happier with this cruise. The crew members were fantastic! There was an open bar and they walked around with trays of hor d'oerves which were very tasty. The highlight. (besides the Aruba Aribi drinks, sunset and moonrise) was a live flutist providing music during the cruise. It was such a relaxing evening enjoying Aruba's ocean and sky. If you are in Aruba during a full moon, don' hesitate to enjoy this sunset/moonrise cruise. It only happens once a month! You can contact [email protected] or +297 5872302 ext 243. Or better yet stop by her desk in person. She will help you with all g our excursion/dining needs.

5.00My partner and I went on the Sunset Moonlight Cruise in Aruba, and it was absolutely incredible! The energy on board was amazing — fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes. The hors d’oeuvres were delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. They even took the time to sit down and chat with us, which made the experience feel so personal and genuine. A huge thank you to Nashya Paesch at Pelican Adventures for helping us book this unforgettable experience! If you’re visiting Aruba, this cruise is a must — perfect for couples and anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful evening on the water.
