Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Panama City
Panama City is a dynamic capital where glass skyscrapers, the colonial UNESCO quarter of Casco Viejo, and the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal converge at the Western Hemisphere's narrowest point. Must-dos include watching mega-ships transit the Miraflores Locks, exploring restored Casco Viejo, and spotting monkeys in the Metropolitan Natural Park. Visit December through April for dry season weather.
Day 2
Day 2
Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is one of humanity's greatest engineering achievements—a 50-mile waterway that lifts ships 26 meters through locks to cross between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Must-dos include watching the locks operation from open deck, visiting the Miraflores Visitor Center, and exploring Panama City's restored Casco Viejo. The dry season (December–April) offers the clearest views for transit day.
Day 3
Day 3
Portobelo
Portobelo, Panama, showcases Central America's remarkable fusion of pre-Columbian heritage, colonial architecture, and exuberant tropical nature. Must-do experiences include exploring the surrounding rainforests and sampling the vibrant local cuisine. The most pleasant conditions arrive year-round, though the drier months from May to October tend to offer the most comfortable conditions. Cruise lines including Lindblad Expeditions feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
Day 4
Day 4
Cayos Limon
The Cayos Limon are pristine coral cays in Panama's Bocas del Toro province, home to Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous communities and surrounded by reefs rivaling Belize's barrier reef in biodiversity. Must-do experiences include snorkeling among sixty coral species, encountering manatees in seagrass meadows, and learning about indigenous fishing traditions. Visit December through April for the calmest seas and clearest underwater visibility.
Day 5
Day 5
Cartagena
Cartagena, Colombia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its stunning colonial architecture, vibrant atmosphere, and rich culinary scene. Must-do experiences include exploring the historic Old Town and savoring local specialties like arepas de huevo and ceviche de camarones. The best time to visit is from December to April, when the weather is warm and dry, perfect for leisurely city explorations and excursions to nearby attractions.

Day 7
Day 7
Oranjestad
Oranjestad shimmers with an unlikely elegance — Dutch colonial architecture painted in ochre, terracotta, and sky-blue lining streets just fifteen miles off the Venezuelan coast, in a perpetual trade wind that keeps the island blissfully dry and golden-skied almost every day of the year. The island's Arikok National Park preserves ancient Caquetío petroglyphs, a rugged volcanic interior, and the dramatic Natural Pool carved from black rock on the windward coast. Eagle Beach, consistently ranked among the finest beaches in the Caribbean, lies minutes from the capital. Aruba's reliably brilliant weather — average 29°C with near-zero hurricane risk — makes it genuinely year-round, though December through April is the classic season.
Day 8
Day 8
Willemstad
Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, is a vibrant port city celebrated for its colorful architecture and rich history. Must-do experiences include trying local delicacies like "keshi yena" and exploring the stunning beaches of Playa Kenepa. The best season to visit is during the dry months from December to April, when the weather is ideal for exploring both the city and its beautiful surroundings.
Day 9
Day 9
Curacao
Curaçao is a culturally rich Caribbean island with the UNESCO-listed Willemstad waterfront, whose colorful Dutch colonial buildings are among the most photographed in the hemisphere. Must-dos include crossing the Queen Emma pontoon bridge, visiting the Kura Hulanda slavery museum, and tasting keshi yená cheese dish and genuine Curaçao liqueur. Year-round warmth near 28°C and a position below the hurricane belt make it a reliable destination.
Day 10

At Sea
Day 11
Day 11
Tobago Cays
The Tobago Cays are five uninhabited islands in the southern Grenadines, surrounded by a horseshoe reef and some of the clearest water in the Caribbean, where green sea turtles graze in the shallows and pristine coral reefs teem with tropical fish. Must-dos include snorkeling with the sea turtles, enjoying a beachside lobster barbecue from local boat vendors, and swimming at the Pirates of the Caribbean filming location on Petit Tabac. December through May offers the best visibility and steadiest trade winds.
Day 12
Day 12
Bridgetown
Bridgetown, Barbados's compact and convivial capital, carries three centuries of uninterrupted British colonial heritage — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Georgian townhouses, coral-stone churches, and the Garrison Savannah, whose racecourse is the oldest in the Western Hemisphere — all infused with the irresistible rhythms of a proud Caribbean nation. The island's culinary scene has matured into one of the Caribbean's most sophisticated, with flying fish cutter sandwiches from roadside stalls competing for devotion with the elegant seafood preparations of the Platinum Coast's celebrated restaurants. Visit December through May for the driest season; the island's sheltered west coast offers superlative year-round sailing conditions.
