ORANJESTAD — Princess Cruises will include Aruba among destinations receiving extended visits during its 2028–2029 Caribbean season. Under its More Ashore program, selected itineraries will offer late-night departures or overnight stays, depending on the route, according to Caribbean Journal.

The program gives passengers more time to explore Aruba, visit beaches and dine at local restaurants. Bonaire, Curaçao and Barbados are also included in the extended visits.

Princess plans 141 departures across 49 itineraries lasting five to 17 days. Cruises will depart from Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, San Juan, New York and Barbados.

The 141 departures cover the entire Caribbean program, rather than calls to Aruba. The article does not specify how many Aruba visits are planned or their dates.
