Willemstad is Cura ao's capital. Cura ao is the main island of the group of islands known as the Dutch Antilles. Cura ao has an unmistakable Dutch heritage, reflected in its style of architecture (Cura ao Tourist Board, 2005). The island has a host of activities for cruise passengers, who may wish to visit the island's shops, the underwater park and Seaquarium, or the island's ostrich farm.
There are many other islands in this area including Bonaire, Trinidad, and Tobago. Itineraries may also include Venezuelan ports such as La Guaira (for Caracas or Venezuela) and Cartagena.
