Tuesday - Dec 17, 2024
Day 1
Fuerte Amador, Panama
Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Panama City is a gleaming city of high rises on the Pacific and gracefully blends new and old. At once a rousing tribute to international finance and a rich reminder of a colonial past, it is Central America's unparalleled cosmopolitan center. The atmospheric Old Town, the Casco Viejo, straddles a peninsula and hosts some of the nation's most prized cultural and historic treasures, including churches, palaces, and plazas. Nearby, one of the world's greatest engineering feats, the Panama Canal, conveys ships along its 48 miles to the Caribbean Sea. ... Read More

Day 2
Cruising the Panama Canal, Panama
The Panama Canal connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, crossing the narrowest stretch of the Isthmus of Panama. A full transit through the 48-mile-long canal takes around eight to ten hours and passes through the Gatun Lake and the Culebra Cut, an artificial valley that runs through the Continental Divide. An engineering marvel of the 20th century, the crossing passes through a series of locks that lift ships 85 feet above sea level. The Panama Canal transit is a rite of passage and a truly memorable experience. ... Read More
Colon lies near the Panama Canal's Atlantic entrance. During the California gold rush, prospectors from the eastern United States sailed here, trekked across the narrow isthmus of Panama, then sailed up the Pacific coast, believing the journey easier than traversing the entire United States. Indigenous tribes maintain a strong presence in this northern corner of Panama. The Embera people, descended from ancient tribes, live in thatched-roof huts, travel by dugout canoe, and weave traditional baskets. ... Read More
San Jose is Costa Rica's cosmopolitan capital, nestled in the country's Central Valley. Celebrated as one of the world's most picturesque countries, Costa Rica is home to an astonishing diversity of landscapes and climate zones. About five percent of the world's species of flora and fauna thrive in this tiny country, and locals vigorously protect them by preserving much of their land against development. Tortuguero, a vast national park, is a maze of rainforest canals and inlets on the Caribbean coast, linking villages and swamps that are dense with wildlife. ... Read More

Sail through turquoise waters where legends of marauding pirates, swashbucklers, and tales of hidden treasures were born. As you sail, explore our well-curated library, tucked in a private alcove of The Living Room, and select from a broad range of titles. Read a book by the Main Pool, a calming oasis in any weather with its retractable roof, allowing for year-round swimming. ... Read More
Roatan is part of the Bay Islands and a snorkeler's paradise. The reefs that skirt its archipelago boast the highest diversity of corals in the Caribbean. Its botanical and butterfly gardens host an astonishing array of tropical plants and multihued winged creatures. More than a tropical playground, the Bay Islands have a rich history of Spanish, British, and French presence, together with the indigenous Caribs. Over the decades, settlers from around the world put down roots in this island paradise and established a successful fruit trade industry. ... Read More
Inhabited by the Maya for more than 5,000 years, Belize is home to more than a dozen remarkable ruins. At the ancient site of Altun Ha, one of Central America's most accessible archaeological treasures, several Mesoamerican temple-pyramids stand as testaments to an advanced civilization. Its most famous, the Temple of the Masonry Altars, is 54 feet tall. Offshore, Belize boasts another spectacular wonder: the famous Great Blue Hole. Just off Ambergris Caye, this natural phenomenon is a breathtaking chute in the middle of a shallow lagoon and a paradise for diving enthusiasts. ... Read More
The island of Cozumel holds the keys to many of the most intriguing secrets of Mexico's ancient civilizations. At San Gervasio, pre-Columbian women made offerings to Ix Chel, goddess of the moon and fertility. More recently, the Spanish left marks of their early presence in the colorful colonial architecture and lively traditions of San Miguel and at the scenic lighthouse at Punta Sur. Today, this island off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula attracts as many snorkelers as it does history buffs; the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park is one the world's largest coral reef systems. ...
