A Journey through Enchanting Nature & the Marvels of the Panama Canal is a 10-day exploration aboard EXPLORA III, departing Miami on April 12, 2027, and concluding in Amador (Panama City) on April 22, 2027. This journey blends Caribbean charm with the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, visiting six distinct ports across four countries. Sail from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where lush landscapes meet tranquil coves. Continue to Willemstad, Curaçao, to experience its European-Caribbean architecture and vibrant beaches, then to Oranjestad, Aruba, known for its rugged desert-like terrain and golden shores. In Santa Marta, Colombia, uncover centuries of trading history along the Caribbean coast. The journey includes an overnight stay in Cartagena, offering extended time to wander its walled old city and witness sunsets over historic fortifications. The centerpiece is the transit through the Panama Canal, a defining moment of the voyage that connects the Atlantic and Pacific. The journey concludes in Amador, Panama City, a dynamic hub where culture, nature, and modernity converge. Destinations reflect the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), Colombia’s Caribbean coast, and Panama’s canal corridor. While the itinerary includes ports in Jamaica, Curaçao, Aruba, Colombia, and Panama, it does not include the British Virgin Islands, Grand Cayman, or San Blas Islands despite associated tags. This journey is ideal for travelers seeking immersive cultural encounters, natural beauty, and a passage through one of the world’s most significant maritime routes—all aboard the intimate, expedition-style EXPLORA III.
