Not sure you need one? Do I need an eSIM? compares it with roaming, a local SIM and Wi-Fi. Staying a week or more? Our vacation eSIM guide covers plan length and how much data you need.
Keeping your own phone plan or staying a week? Using your phone in Aruba compares roaming, Digicel’s prepaid data and an eSIM.
On a cruise stop in Aruba
Ships dock at the cruise terminal in Oranjestad, a short walk from the town centre. Stops are usually one day, so a 3-day plan covers it.
Keep cellular data off while the ship is at sea and switch the eSIM on once you’re ashore. Our Caribbean cruise eSIM guide explains why, and how to cover several islands with one plan. For data at sea, our ship Wi-Fi guides compare each line’s packages with a cruise eSIM: Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, MSC and Princess.
Which network will I be on?
Aruba’s two mobile networks are Setar and Digicel. Airalo (its Aruba plan is called Noord Communications) and Holafly say they use Digicel; Nomad says Setar. Other providers in the table don’t always say which network they use; those rows show “Not stated”.
Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire need separate plans
The three ABC islands are next to each other, but each is its own destination for eSIM providers. An Aruba plan stops working when the ship reaches Curaçao or Bonaire. On an itinerary that stops at two or three of them, buy a short plan for each island, or a Caribbean regional plan that lists all three.
If you’re flying in for a week at Palm Beach or Eagle Beach, a 7-day plan fits better than a 30-day one.
Common questions
Does an eSIM work in Aruba?
