Official voyage overview

It’s something of an insider secret: cruises that many Panama Canal travelers overlook when exploring the extreme southern edge of the Caribbean. But those who explore beyond the traditional islands know that this is where you find the epicenter of colonial history and amazing biodiversity. This is the heart of the Spanish Main, where untold wealth boarded galleons bound for Europe and colonial forts thwarted off pirate attacks. It’s the narrow isthmus that holds the Panama Canal, an epic engineering feat. And it’s the home of indigenous tribes like the Kogi, the Ngobe-Buglé and the Kuna, who have managed to maintain their traditional ways of life. These shores are also some of the most beautiful and biodiverse on earth, home to marine-rich coral reefs and subterranean bat caves.You don’t have to go far to find untouched islands or jungle-shrouded channels. All this in seven days, on a ship perfectly designed for adventure.
