Curaçao boasts two key docking points: the Curaçao Mega Piers I and II cater to mega ships and is positioned in West Willemstad, just a short stroll from downtown. Smaller vessels dock at the Curaçao Cruise Terminal, known as the Mathey Wharf and conveniently located within a stone's throw of the floating Queen Emma Bridge, offering easy access to the city's principal shopping and business hubs. The largest cruise port of Curaçao nestles to the west of St Anna Bay, in the Otrabanda quarter. This spot not only provides tourist information, taxi and car rental services, and souvenir shops, but it also boasts superb signage. Just a brief walk away, you can lose yourself in Otrabanda's colourful streets teeming with additional shops, bars, and restaurants, many of which occupy the grand Renaissance Mall.
