YouTube Video Description

Aruba is a small island country located in the southern Caribbean Sea – north of Venezuela – that is known for its beautiful beaches and warm weather. Together, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao are known as the ABC islands. In this video, we’ll provide an overview of our December 2023 visit to Aruba, when our ship, the Holland America Nieuw Statendam, docked in the capital city of Oranjestad and we made a quick trip to El Tio Snack & Bar to enjoy some local food.
