San Francisco to Miami | 18-Day Voyage | February 26, 2011
This never-before-offered itinerary immediately demonstrates how it differs from other eastbound
Panama Canal transits. After departing San Francisco, a new port for Oceania Cruises, Marina spends the next day cruising California’s picturesque Pacific coast before arriving in another new port:
San Diego. Culturally minded guests will love exploring Balboa Park, with its 15 museums and the
San Diego Zoo. Then, Latin rhythms surge to the forefront, as you call on ecology-conscious Huatulco
and welcoming Puerto Chiapas, the gateway to numerous Mayan ruins. Next is a transit through the
spectacular Panama Canal. Another highlight is Cartagena’s walled Old Town, a medieval wonderland
of colonial mansions, monasteries and cobblestone streets. In contrast, visit Seven Mile Beach just north
of George Town and sink your feet into the white, powdery sands and impossibly clear water.
