Itinerary
Combine Caribbean fun with Central American culture on this remarkable 10-day cruise that stretches from Florida to the landmarks and lesser-known small ports along the coastlines of Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Columbia, Costa Rica, and Panama. It's a balanced blend of exciting activities and cultural experiences offering enlightening insights. Uncover little-known facts about Key West's famous resident writers, including Robert Frost, Tennessee Williams, and Ernest Hemingway, or sail to the Dry Tortugas National Park on a fast catamaran for an afternoon of snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs, skeletal shipwrecks, and old nautical artifacts. Swim between stalagmites during a guided exploration of Rio Secreto, an underground river system, or take in the view from the top of an ancient Mayan pyramid at the prominent Cobá archaeological site. Clutch a comfy floatation device as you float down Belize's Cave Branch River and into the shadowy recesses of ancient Mayan caves. Take a trip to a working Honduran farm in Campamento and sample a farm-to-table meal with a local Honduran family. Hike to a rainforest waterfall for a refreshing swim near Trujillo. Scan the treetops and dense undergrowth in Cahuita National Park for sloths, coatis, and iguanas. Snorkel and sunbathe off Red Frog Beach near the small port of Bocas del Toro in Panama, or board a boat for a short voyage to Bird Island where you can observe colorful tropical birds and coastal marine life. This exceptional journey ends near the Old Quarter of Colon, where you can shop for Panamanian souvenirs or make a trip to Embera Quera, an indigenous community living off the grid along the leafy banks of Gatun Lake on the Panama Canal.
