Curaçao Maritime Museum
The Curaçao Maritime Museum tells five centuries of the island's seafaring story — from Arawak canoes and the Dutch West India Company to modern shipping — on the Scharloo waterfront. 8 min from the hotel
Models, maps and artefacts trace how the great natural harbour shaped Willemstad. The museum also runs an optional harbour tour by ferry, a fine way to see the port, dry docks and waterfront from the water. It is a manageable, well-curated stop for a hot afternoon, a short walk from the hotel.
