Cruising through Costa Rica & Panama

Today, you'll be picked up from your hotel in San José and transferred to Puerto Caldera in Puntarenas in time to embark on your cruise in the afternoon.

Your first stop is Isla Tortuga, known to be the most beautiful island in Costa Rica. The island has soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water.

The next day, you'll arrive at Manuel Antonio, paradise for wildlife lovers. You can spot Costa Rica’s star attractions — two- and three-toed sloths, white-faced monkeys and toucans can all be found on hikes that weave through the park.

Located in the Golfo Dulce nearly to the southern border with Panama, Golfito is far from the main tourist spots further north and the capital city. But what it does supply is Costa Rican nature at its best.

Today you'll visit the Golfo de Chiriqui, a home to a national marine park, protecting over 25 islands and 19 coral reefs.

Today you'll visit Iguana Island, where you can relax on the white sandy beach or swim in the clear turquoise water.

Today you'll visit the Pearl Islands, most famous for their spectacular and tranquil white sand beaches, untouched forests, and colorful coral reefs offshore — ideal for diving, snorkeling and kayaking.

Your cruise ends today and you'll disembark the ship in the morning to be transferred to your hotel. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Panama City more by foot or perhaps relax on your last day of the trip.

You'll be transferred to the airport from your hotel in time for your international flight home.
