PORTS OF CALL

 

San Diego, California
San Diego is not just the home of its world-famous zoo. Not only did Golf Digest name San Diego one of its top 50 destinations, Sports Illustrated once dubbed it "Sports Town USA." The downtown cityscape, beaches, national monuments and unique attractions — such as Legoland California — make San Diego a destination worthy of any travel itinerary. And, of course, there's always the zoo!

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Championship golf courses, world-class deep sea fishing and incredible diving opportunities have transformed Cabo San Lucas, a once sleepy fishing town located on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, into one of the most popular resort destinations in Mexico. Rolling sand dunes and hidden coves dot a countryside ringed by some of the most famous and often-photographed rock formations in the world.

Acapulco, Mexico
Acapulco, which is virtually synonymous with luxury, is a place where the rich and famous come to escape. Take the scenic highway for a striking panoramic view of the beaches and mountains, and note the beautiful homes and lush gardens as you pass through Las Brisas. And make sure you take time to see the thrilling cliff divers plunge into the turbulent waters of Le Quebrada.

Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Costa Rica is Central America's "crown jewel." Brimming with natural attractions, wildlife and a reputation for enlightened conservation, Costa Rica is an ecotourism heaven and one of the only places where you can experience the tropics in a natural environment with minimal impact. Enjoy the natural beauty of this scenic oasis and the warm hospitality of its friendly inhabitants.

Panama Canal (Cruising Canal)
The true highlight of your cruise is transiting the Panama Canal and crossing the largest man-made lake in the world. What a thrill to feel your enormous ship being gently raised and lowered as it passes through the three great locks of this engineering wonder.

Cristobal Pier, Panama
A star among Panama itineraries, the port of Cristobal serves the cities of Colýn and Panama City. It's a popular stepping off point for travelers wishing to explore the many sights and attractions both in the interior of Panama and along the coast.

Cartagena, Colombia
As rich in history as it is in emeralds, Cartagena is a jewel unto itself. You'll get a panoramic overview of the city and harbor from the heights of La Popa Monastery. Other sites not to miss: the artisan center of Las Bovedas (The Dungeons), Plaza Bolivar, the Palace of Inquisition and the Church of San Pedro Claver.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
Once the epicenter of Spring Break, today Ft. Lauderdale is a year-round destination where culture and cuisine are in ample supply. Beautiful beaches, sunshine, coastline, nightclubs and superb restaurants await you in this Gold Coast enclave. More restaurants and shopping on Las Olas Boulevard or Himmarshee in downtown Ft. Lauderdale are a must.

Accommodations are for 2 people in an Inside Cabin.

High bidders who wish to upgrade to an Oceanview Cabin may request a price quote at time of submission.
