Classic Collection adds Aruba to Caribbean portfolio

Classic Collection has added the island of Aruba to its portfolio of Caribbean destinations.

The agent-focused operator has added 13 hotels across seven resort areas, with properties ranging from three- to five-star.

Si Morris-Green, director of B2B, said: “On the UK market, Aruba is one of those slightly under-the-radar Caribbean destinations, but one which really piques the interest of our travel agent partners and their customers.

“World-class beaches in all shapes and sizes are the main draw, but there are also plenty of adrenaline-fuelled activities to keep holidaymakers entertained.

“With its near-perfect sunshine record, it’s no wonder that it welcomes a greater percentage of repeat visitors than any other island in the Caribbean.

“It’s a timely introduction as customers are starting to book for winter sunshine. It’s an island which we feel is very well aligned with our customer demographic, helped by a year-round flying programme from the UK.”

Properties include the five-star Radisson Blu Aruba and the four-star Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort.

The resort of Noord features the Caribbean Palm Village Resort which the operator is offering from £1,177 per person based on two sharing on a room-only basis in November.

Other resort areas featured by the operator include Druif Beach and Oranjestad.

Agents can book single-centre stays to Aruba via Classic’s agent-only portal, with twin-centre and multi-Caribbean island itineraries being handled by Classic’s tailor-made team.
