Welcome to the Participant Registration

Thank you for your interest in the Curaçao Business Cruise Trade Mission, scheduled to take place from February 21 to March 5, 2026, aboard the Corendon Ambassador Cruise Line.

This unique initiative is proudly organized by VBC and ADECK, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO), CINEX, and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB).

The mission aims to provide Curaçao-based businesses with direct access to promising market opportunities across the Caribbean region. Through a combination of business matchmaking events at various ports of call and interactive onboard sessions, we are working to:
  • Promote Curaçao’s export potential,
  • Build long-term regional business relationships, and
  • Increase the international visibility of our entrepreneurs and innovators.
Your input through this short registration survey will help us better understand your interests, expectations, and business goals. This will allow us to create a tailor-made program that maximizes value for all participants.
