23 Nov '26Cruise overview
We jump straight into vacation mode with our first port of call, Nassau, the glamorous, sun-soaked capital of the Bahamas. Next enjoy a day at sea, making the most of all that the ship has to offer, as we sail to the lush rainforests of the Samana, Dominican Republic, the cobblestone streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the white sands of Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands. Relax on board as we spend another day gliding across the Caribbean Sea, bound for Oranjestad, Aruba, the Dutch island’s bustling and brightly colored harbor city. Next comes historic Cartagena, where we overnight, leaving plenty of time to stroll the colorful streets and admire the astonishing 16th-century architecture. Now we hop from Curaçao to Bonaire and get a second look at Aruba. Known as the ABC islands, they all deliver Dutch colonial history, kaleidoscopic coral, and incredible nature. Santa Marta, on the Colombian coast, is next before we relax at sea for a day, bound for the exciting experience of cruising the Panama Canal, one of the great man-made wonders of the world. We arrive at Puerto Caldera on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and then cross to Nicaragua, where you can watch the surfing at San Juan del Sur. Try the coffee from one of El Salvador’s famous plantations at Acajutla, before we enjoy another sea day. We cross the border to Mexico for the palm-fringed beaches of Zihuatanejo, where dolphins and sea turtles play in the waves, and Manzanillo, famed for marlin fishing. Laidback Puerto Vallarta comes next, followed by a couple of days on board as we cross yet another border to the U.S. and our final destination, San Diego.
Itinerary
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Like many southeast Florida neighbors, Fort Lauderdale has long been revitalizing. In a state where gaudy tourist zones often stand aloof from workaday downtowns, Fort Lauderdale exhibits consistency at both ends of the 2-mile Las Olas corridor. The sparkling look results from upgrades both downtown and on the beachfront. Matching the downtown’s innovative arts district, cafés, and boutiques is an equally inventive beach area, with hotels, cafés, and shops facing an undeveloped shoreline, and new resort-style hotels replacing faded icons of yesteryear. Despite wariness of pretentious overdevelopment, city leaders have allowed a striking number of glittering high-rises. Nostalgic locals and frequent visitors fret over the diminishing vision of sailboats bobbing in waters near downtown; however, Fort Lauderdale remains the yachting capital of the world, and the water toys don’t seem to be going anywhere.
