Recently, at the beginning of the high cruise season, Aruba Ports Authority N.V. inaugurated its brand new upgraded and expanded cruise terminal, just in time to welcome the cruise passengers and crew thru not only the shopping gate of Aruba, but to a world of magnificent experiences.

The cruise terminal is the main shopping gate to the diverse products and Top line of merchandise to take home.

The completely renovated terminal displays a unique atmosphere, only to be found in Aruba.

The murals are all neatly decorated with birds flocking to our island during winter season, as well as local bird species, posing tranquility in a rather busy terminal.

The Aruba Information Booth, manned by well-trained Aruba Cruise Tourism PR Cruise Greeters had its share of upgrading as well.

The booth is completely designed and equipped with two mega displays portraying all the beauty Aruba has to offer, only the best.

The front of the booth depicts the beautiful coral stones with a hint of limestone color to give the authenticity of the island flavor at the first impression.

The terminal has also a first aid, a telephone communication service, and is the home of seventeen stores, all offering an array of local and international products, from perfumery to souvenirs, clothing, bijouterie, postcards, paintings, towels, accessories, and even a coffee shop.

APA NV invested a bit more than Awg. 3 million, and every penny was worth it. Guests are thrilled with the ambience and the service, with a smile, only in Aruba.

Aruba, only the best!
