Cruising the Panama Canal, Panama      
Cruising the Gulf of Panama, Panama      
Transit from ocean to ocean along the 48-mile Panama Canal (time varies depending on when the lock authority gives the final go ahead for your transit). Join your shipmates on deck for a toast as the canal lights up and the temperature subsides. A story of engineering and human tenacity, it took over 75,000 workers to build it. The diverse islands and islets in the Gulf of Panama are all unique, and it's captain's choice as you cruise among them. Hosting hundreds of avian species, you may enjoy superb bird watching on a skiff exploration. And be on the lookout for a silvery glint streaking across the water-it could be mobula rays taking flight. (BLD)
Day 3 - Monday - Jan 1, 2024
Captain's Choice, United States
Captain's Choice, United States      
Wake up in paradise. Start with fresh-brewed coffee and a little limbering up with guided stretches on deck. As always, the hardest part is picking the "what". Your guides know the trails and help you spot monkeys, hummingbirds, and towering balsa trees. Kayak or snorkel, or just kick back in a hammock under swaying palms. Then it's cruising time. Settle into a comfy lounge chair and take in the views. (BLD)
Day 4 - Tuesday - Jan 2, 2024
Isla de Coiba, Panama
Isla de Coiba, Panama      
Sail through the islands of Coiba National Park. Named one of the world's top ten diving sites, your day of play features snorkeling among abundant marine life and kayaking around rocky outcroppings. Hop to the park's main island for a stretch of the legs on a trail through this tropical jungle. Mantled howler monkeys, crested eagles, and four turtle species call Isla Coiba home. (BLD)
Day 5 - Wednesday - Jan 3, 2024
Golfo Dulce, Panama
Golfo Dulce, Panama      
A birder's paradise. Explore a tropical preserve exploding with vibrant color. From bromeliads, ginger plants, and heliconias to toucans, hummingbirds, mischievous monkeys, and fluttering butterflies-there's a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and tastes in every tree and bush you pass on your walking tour. In Golfo Dulce, which separates Osa Peninsula from the mainland, explore the rare flora and fauna of mangroves by kayak and skiff. (BLD)
Day 6 - Thursday - Jan 4, 2024
Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica      
Adventure lies around every bend in the isolated, wild Osa Conservation Area, home to the country's largest national park, Corcovado. The area is known for its diverse plant and animal species-a whopping 2.5% of the entire planet's biodiversity is found here-including all four of Costa Rica's monkeys, tree frogs, caimans, anteaters, scarlet macaws, coatis, and 16 different species of hummingbird. Explore this vast area putting feet to trail on an invigorating hike through the jungle. At the end of the day, enjoy the sunset with a tropical beverage in-hand during cocktail hour and retell stories of the day with your travel-mates. (BLD)
Day 7 - Friday - Jan 5, 2024
Curu Reserve, Costa Rica      
At the southeastern tip of Nicoya Peninsula-in the tangled mangroves of Curu-the cycle of life is everywhere. Local "residents" include everything from exotic birds and deer to army ants, frog-eating snakes, and hungry crocodiles. Step carefully as you cross the swinging bridge, you don't want to land on the menu! Land crabs shift in and out of their burrows with such force it's enough to make the earth move. Trails offer prime howler and spider monkey viewing, and a chance to glimpse the immense blue morpho butterfly. Offshore, the vibrant, turquoise waters near Isla Tortuga offer inviting opportunities to snorkel, kayak, and paddle board. (BLD)
