Awards Atlantis Adventures Leading Tour Operator Carnival Cruises
AWARDS
Towards the end of the 2016 cruise season, Atlantis Adventures Curacao was awarded the prestigious ‘Leading Tour Operator of the Caribbean’ by Carnival Cruise Lines. This is not the first award but it is the highest awarded. It has been an honor to have been awarded this prize. This award was followed in January 2017 by a recognition locally by Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath with the recognition of ‘DUSHI HENDE’. For a local company, this is quite an honor and achievement to receive this recognition from our government representative. Atlantis Adventures Curacao has a DUSHI staff who work with heart and soul, day in and day out, tirelessly without expecting anything in return, representing their people, their history, their culture, their customs and their island architecture and infrastructure to the best of their ability. To be recognized after almost 20 years of dedicated service in the tourism industry, contributing to the economic development of their ‘DUSHI’ island, Curacao. Atlantis Adventures Curacao is the prime example of ‘DUSHI HENDE’!
