YouTube Video Description

An overview of a fun shore excursion while cruising the Southern Caribbean: The "VIP Cruise Snorkel & Lunch" excursion in Aruba. It starts with a cruise down the coast of Aruba on a real 115 foot sailing schooner. Upon arrival in Arashi Bay, you can jump off the boat with provided snorkel gear and enjoy snorkeling among the many fish. Snorkeling is especially good if you swim away from the schooner and towards the shore, where you'll find a lot of fish among the rocks. After snorkeling, drinks are served at an open bar, and lunch is cooked on a barbecue at the back of the boat. After lunch, the schooner sails back to the cruise ship port where you get back aboard your cruise ship. The name of the schooner is Monforte III.
