29 Feb '28Cruise overview
An overnight stay in Cartagena, the lively Colombian city with an old colonial heart, begins this captivating 10-night cruise around the Caribbean coast of Central America. Our first stop is Colón, at the mouth of the famed Panama Canal, where you can find out about the famous waterway. Next, Puerto Limón is a jump-off point for some of Costa Rica’s fine beaches with a laidback vibe, and a relaxing sea day delivers us to Honduras, where the sapphire waters of Roatán Island are home to the world’s second-largest coral reef. At Santo Tomas in Guatemala, a nature walk to a waterfall is one of the options, and at Belize City, there is history to explore and an excellent museum. Our penultimate stop, Cozumel in Mexico, offers the chance to see spectacular Mayan ruins. One last relaxing day at sea delivers us to our last port of call, vibrant Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
Itinerary
Cartagena
Cartagena’s magnificent city walls and fortresses, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enclose a well-restored historic center (the Cuidad Amurallada, or walled city) with plazas, churches, museums, and shops that have made it a lively coastal vacation spot for South Americans and others. New hotels and restaurants make the walled city a desirable place to stay, and the formerly down-at-the-heels Getsemaní neighborhood attracts those seeking a bohemian buzz. The historic center is a small section of Cartagena; many hotels are in the Bocagrande district, an elongated peninsula where high-rise hotels overlook a long, gray-sand beach.When it was founded in 1533 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena was the only port on the South American mainland. Gold and silver looted from indigenous peoples passed through here en route to Spain and attracted pirates, including Sir Francis Drake, who in 1586 torched 200 buildings. Cartagena’s walls protected the city’s riches as well as the New World’s most important African slave market.
