Cruise Itinerary

 Day 1 - Ft. Lauderdale

Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale has 165 miles of canals that wind through this waterfront city. With plenty of sun and sand, you'll find the beaches inviting and only minutes from elegant shops and championship golf courses. After dark, the town offers many five-star restaurants and exciting nightclubs, all set in a lush tropical environment. Read More

 Day 2 - At Sea

Relax and enjoy your vacation onboard your ship. You can do as much or as little as you want.

 Day 3 - Costa Maya

Beginning where the Mayan Riviera ends, the Costa Maya stretches along the coastline up to Belize. The Costa Maya is the last remaining section of coastal properties yet to be exploited and there are acres of coastal land with absolutely no development. The odd fishing village spots the landscape but not much beyond that. Flying along the coastline you encounter numerous cenotes and you can still see the outlines and impressions of villages that were there centuries ago. Read More

 Day 5 - Puerto Limon

Located on Costa Rica's Caribbean shores, Puerto Limon is one of the nations largest cities. Columbus stumbled upon the city in 1502, during his final voyage of discovery. Spanish explorers who followed, mistakenly declared this land to be the "rich coast"; however, little gold was found. Today, the city's riches come in the form of bananas, shipped from Limon to destinations around the world. Read More

 Day 6 - Cristobal

Serving as the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal, Cristobal is one of the country's most important ports. Nearby is the international trade city of Colon, most notable for the Colon Free Zone, an import/export hub and a good place to shop. Read More

 Day 7 - Cartagena

Walls built in the 17th century divide this prosperous city into "new" and "old" sections. Distinctive thick-walled houses with high ceilings and central patios typify the Iberian architecture found in the charming older district with its narrow and crooked streets. Read More

Relax and enjoy your vacation onboard your ship. You can do as much or as little as you want.

 Day 9 - Cayo Levantado

Words fail to describe the beaches rimming Cayo Levantado, a small atoll in the middle of Baha de Samanas calm waters. This islet could be the Dominican Republics most romantic hideaway, and judging from the dreamy looks of the couples here, you wont get an argument from them. To get there, venture over to the hillside port city of Samana. Hop on the sometimes scheduled ferries or any itinerant fishing boat for the short 30-minute hour ride over the waves, and make sure you close your mouth while taking in the scenery or the crewman will look at you funny.
