Start to Finish — Tastes of Curaçao

  • Willemstad
From 85
For a real *taste* of the region, see where precious ingredients start before they end on a plate — for you to devour.
After a scenic drive, head over to Willemstad’s Plaza Bieu, a landmark of stalls and vendors cooking up dishes right before your eyes that celebrates the greatest item that brings people together: food. Onward to Chobolobo’s mansion and plantation to sample the famous Blue Curacao liqueur and the additional items grown on the grounds. With all these ingredients combined, Green House is where you’ll get to experience them together while indulging in a freshly cooked meal on the terrace.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
