Ports of Call

 Los Angeles, California
It's an exciting semitropical city of palm trees, swimming pools, television studios and aerospace factories. Los Angeles is one of the world's most exciting cities and the movie-making capital of the world. Wherever you visit, from ritzy Beverly Hills to the wondrous Hollywood Bowl, you'll have an unforgettable stay.

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.

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.
