Ceserano discusses local opportunities
An FCCA Aruba cruise spending presentation at Cruise Connect 2026 highlighted opportunities to connect passengers with local businesses and culture, 24ora reports. Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association president Adam Ceserano called for coordination between destinations, cruise companies and the private sector.
Regional averages are not Aruba totals
Ceserano presented a regional average of about US$521,333 in passenger, crew and cruise-company spending per ship visit. The figure is not a measured return for each Aruba call. He also described opportunities to encourage cruise visitors to return for longer stays. These remarks concern the FCCA presentation, rather than new port infrastructure approvals or a confirmed increase in local income.
