Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 | Panama City (Colón), Panama
Departure 10:00 pmSince 1914, the Panama Canal has linked the Atlantic to the Pacific. This technological marvel of locks and canals also comprises two artificial lakes. The Gatúnsee, one of the world's largest dammed lakes, has now regained a unique range of flora and fauna. In fact, nature has reclaimed the lake for itself, with the rainforest sprawling over its banks. The former hills are now islands on which an astonishing variety of species has formed, due to its isolation. The largest island, Barro Colorado, is completely untouched and has been a nature reserve since 1923. Scientists from all over the world come here to try and discover the jungle's last secrets.
Day 2 - Day 2 | San Blas Archipelago, Panama
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 5:00 pmTo live like Robinson Crusoe, on a remote island without any civilizing frills, but with a palm beach and coconuts for breakfast – who hasn't dreamt of that before? The San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama come pretty close to this idea of a Caribbean paradise. Here life is beautifully simple – and simply beautiful. The approximately 370 coral islands, which can be explored from the main island Porvenir, are inhabited by the Kuna. The indigenous people only allow tourism in moderation and have preserved much of their ancient culture and religion.
Day 3 - Day 3 | Day under full sails
Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.
Day 4 - Day 4 | Bocas del Toro/Panama
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 1:30 pmThe Bocas del Toro Archipelago in northwestern Panama comprises six large and numerous tiny islands. The Bastimentos Island National Marine Park is the first marine reserve in Panama and was created in 1988. Whether you visit Isla Bastimentos or Cayos Zapatillas, between mangroves and snow white palm beaches, you will find a rich variety of species swimming around in the water. It is a paradise for marine turtles, and even dolphins pay a visit from time to time in the crystal-clear waters. In the unspoiled coral reef you can see a unique underwater world with colorful shoals of fish, sponges and starfish.
Day 5 - Day 5 | Puerto Limón, Costa Rica
Arrival 6:00 am, Departure 2:00 pmIn gaining its independence, San Jose very quickly transformed from a mountain village into the busy modern capital city of a young, optimistic country. The Central Valley is over 5,000 feet above sea level in a picturesque setting surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. The mild, unchanging climate and the fertile volcanic soil have brought wealth and prosperity, primarily through the cultivation of coffee. Around 100 miles to the east, on the Caribbean coast, lies the harbor town of Puerto Limón which was founded in 1870.
Day 6 - Days 6 - 7 | Day under full sails
Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.
Day 7 - Day 8 | Guanaja/Honduras
Arrival 1:30 pm, Departure 11:00 pmThe Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, extends off the coast of the Mexican Yucatan to Guanaja with crystal-clear waters teeming with sea turtles, rays and tropical colorful fish. For an excursion to the dreamlike snorkel spots and the fine palm beaches one does not get into the car on Guanaja, but onto a boat – because there are almost no roads here. And since the big cruise ships prefer to call at the neighboring island of Roatán, you don’t have to share your secret little Caribbean paradise with too many people.
Day 8 - Day 9 | French Key, Honduras
Arrival 12:00 pm, Departure 6:30 pmFrench Key in the Islas de Bahías is a tropical gem with crystal-clear waters and lush vegetation. This small island attracts snorkelers and divers eager to explore its diverse underwater world. Visitors can also go kayaking, relax in the sun, or stroll along the white sandy beaches. French Key offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for both relaxation and adventure. Its natural beauty and rich marine life make it an unforgettable destination.
Day 9 - Day 10 | Belize City/Belize
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 11:00 pmBelize City is the country's largest town, main port, and its economic and cultural center, although it has not been the capital since 1975. Belize is situated in the southeast of the Yucatán peninsula and was part of the Mayan Empire, which left behind a rich legacy here. The ruined city of Altun Ha is one of Belize's best-preserved and most accessible Mayan cities. Lamanai, which lies on the banks of an inland lagoon, has been a settlement for 3,000 years. Excavations have shown that more than 20,000 people lived here in 700 AD.
Day 10 - Day 11 | Lighthouse Reef/Belize
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 2:00 pmThe Belize Barrier Reef is a 160-mile-long series of coral reefs made up of numerous small coral islands. It is the second largest in the world after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. In Lighthouse Reef Atoll you will discover a very unusual natural wonder: the Great Blue Hole. It was formed during the last ice age and this circular recess in the ocean floor with a diameter of over 950 feet is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cozumel, the largest island in Mexico, lies only a few knots away from the Yucatan peninsula. The advanced Mayan civilization in Central America, which began around 5,000 years ago and reached its final stages at the time of the Spanish conquest, still poses questions today.
