Cruise Details

Passage Through Panama

Passage Through Panama

18-day Cruise from San Francisco to Miami onboard Regatta

Deftly bridging the Pacific and Atlantic oceans via the Panama Canal, this splendid voyage reveals the multiple personalities of each destination, as the attractions range from traditional to adventurous. Browse the boutiques for jewelry in the shopper's paradise of Acapulco or hike through an island reserve nearby. Visit an artist's loft in the tropical Costa Rican countryside on the outskirts of Puntarenas, or ride a zip line through the treetops of a rainforest. Dine on succulent red snapper with a side of fried plantains in Cartagena, or board a replica of a 17th century Spanish galleon and sail off like the pirates of centuries ago. The opportunities are almost infinite each time you step ashore.

Caribbean Interlude

Caribbean Interlude

7-day Cruise from Miami to Miami onboard Regatta

The perfect blend of tropics and treasures, this week of wonders encompasses historic ruins, stunning sea life and the pristine beaches that make a Caribbean cruise the quintessential indulgence. In Cozumel, magnificent stingrays can be observed in the clear waters, and in Belize City, snorkeling is practically the national pastime. Guatemala reveals its richness with a boat ride past the Mayan villages of the Rio Dulce or an unforgettable flight over the ruins of Tikal, its soaring ancient temples rising from the jungle floor. In surprising Key West, nature is on display in the Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, which houses an impressive collection of flowering plants, cascading waterfalls and 50 different species of butterflies from around the world.

Mayan Mystique

Mayan Mystique

10-day Cruise from Miami to Miami onboard Marina

Concentrating on the aquamarine seas of the Western Caribbean, this voyage presents a collection of wonderful ports with rich histories. Under British rule since 1670, affluent Grand Cayman attracts shoppers looking for fine jewelry and cashmere. Cozumel anchors the lush Yucatan Peninsula, once the heart of the Mayan empire. The Maya were also prevalent in the area that's now modern Belize City and in Guatemala's Santo Tomas, where you are likely to hear Mayan dialects spoken as you walk the winding, cobblestone streets. Roatan abounds with water sports, but also tempts with attractions ashore such as Gumbalimba Preservation Park. Costa Maya earned its place on this itinerary for its archaeological significance, particularly in the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben.

Islands in the Sun

Islands in the Sun

10-day Cruise from Miami to Miami onboard Marina

This voyage presents the definitive Caribbean in a delightful array of sun-splashed islands. Being rather British, Virgin Gorda offers several traditional English pubs, but their menus embrace an engaging Caribbean flair. St. Barts is trés Parisian, although the capital of Gustavia was named for a Swedish king, and many of its residents are of Scandinavian and French descent. Snorkeling is among the main draws of Antigua, especially at Cades Reef. The southern coast of Tortola, where Road Harbor sits, is renowned for its rugged mountains and tropical forest, which is crisscrossed with hiking paths. The farmland and forests of the Dominican Republic are strikingly pastoral, and a Jeep Safari offers a unique way to see it. Grand Turk beguiles with its charm and stunning natural beauty.
