Azure Atolls & Isthmus – Willemstad, Cartagena & Colón

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on October 30, 2026, visiting Willemstad, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Celebration Key. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The Caribbean route takes in Curaçao, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Bahamas, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Caribbean Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
