Famous harbor tour

Harbor Tour – Temporarily Unavailable
Our famous Harbor Tour is currently temporarily suspended due to logistical reasons, as no ship is available at this time. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working behind the scenes to resume this unique experience as soon as possible, so you can once again enjoy Willemstad from the water and discover the rich history of the Saint Anna Bay, the floating bridge, the Handelskade, and the harbor.

situated in the heart of the world-renowned Scharloo neighborhood of Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Curaçao Maritime Museum is just steps away from the floating Queen Emma bridge and cruise terminals.
