Emerald Passages – Cartagena, Panama & Limon

About this cruise

A 12-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on December 17, 2026 and visits Oranjestad, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Grand Cayman Island. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. 5 countries (Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Cayman Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Puerto Limon alone is worth the trip, Costa Rica's Caribbean gateway to the jungle. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Caribbean Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Worth booking. That's the short version.
