CHRISTMAS CRUISES
TRES
TRAPI BEACH, ARUBA
Think of the Caribbean and quite rightly, you’ll picture dazzling white sand beaches with bright blue sea, framed by swaying palm trees. But Tres Trapi Beach, on Aruba’s northwestern coast, offers this, and so much more, in spectacular fashion. Framed by dramatic rugged and rocky cliffs, this secluded stretch of sand boasts crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sands, and spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea in an enchanting setting.
A day trip here offers visitors the chance to enjoy a laid-back beach experience unlike no other on Aruba. It’s an easy taxi or local bus ride from the port of Oranjestad and as well as the chance to soak up the sun, you can also try snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. Below the waves’ surface, you’ll discover vibrant coral reefs and lively marine life, including brightly coloured tropical fish and families of playful sea turtles, who’ll swim gracefully alongside you. Back under the beach’s swaying palms, you can air dry at leisure, beer in hand, content in the knowledge that you’ve spent the day experiencing one of the world’s most incredible beaches.
You can visit Tres Trapi beach in Aruba on P&O Cruises’ Caribbean Islands Fly-Cruise cruise in November 2025. Port stops in Oranjestad also feature on 2025 itineraries from Celebrity and MSC sailings.
