DAY 1 CARTAGENA EMBARKATION
DAY 5 GUNA YALA / SAN BLAS, PANAMA
Welcome to Cartagena! Your transfer is waiting, and after a warm airport greeting, you’re off to our hospitality area in the city. Later, it’s all smiles and champagne as you board the Safari Voyager, meet your crew, and settle in for the week ahead. (D) DAY 2 CARTAGENA / ARCHIPELAGO OF SAN BERNADINO A historical tour of the colonial walled city and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cartagena shows off its highlights. Wander narrow streets lined with colorful houses. Visit the Palace of Inquisition, San Felipe de Barajas Castle, or the oldest church in the city. Afterwards, set sail for the archipelago of San Bernardino. With its clear water and vibrant corals, kayaking, skiff tours, snorkeling, and paddle boarding are all options. (BLD)
You’re in the Guna Yala (formerly the San Blas Islands) —360 islands dotted with palm trees, thatched-roofs, coconut groves, white sand beaches—and they’re perfect for snorkeling. Look around for a rainbow of reef fish, corals, rays, and sea turtles. Anything’s possible in paradise. On land, meet the Guna people, one of the best-preserved cultures in the Americas. Learn about their culture and don’t miss the chance to buy their detailed handcrafted “molas.” In the Guna culture, an ornate mola with a detailed design is an item displayed with pride. (BLD) Islands, forts, and sea life—bring your adventurous spirit. You’re headed for the Panamá Canal and along the way your captain has the say. Transiting the 48-mile passage is a bucket list experience. A story of engineering and human tenacity, it took over 75,000 workers to build, and takes you about eight hours to transit. Joined by a Canal Authority Pilot, watch line handlers manage the ship through changing sea levels in the locks. Paired with videos and onboard narration, you’ll cross the locks with a better understanding of this engineering marvel. Celebrate your transit with a top deck barbeque! (BLD) DAY 6 PANAMA CANAL DAY 7 ISLA IGUANA 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. Slip into the drink for a kayak or snorkel. Go exploring by skiff. 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 3 CAPURGANA / SAPZURRO
Cruise the Caribbean coast of the Darién Gap to the tiny, almost-forgotten coastal towns of Capurganá and Sapzurro. Hike between the towns through the dewy Darién jungle, home to toucans, parrots, howler and squirrel monkeys. Or, take to the white sand beaches and turquoise waters for snorkeling and beachcombing.

DAY 4 CAPTAIN'S CHOICE
