Interoceanic Ascent – Cartagena, Panama Canal & San Francisco

About this cruise

A 18-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 Miami on April 6, 2028 and visits Cartagena, Colon and Panama Canal, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You finish in Seattle. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 8 port calls start. 5 countries (Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. San Francisco alone is worth the trip, Golden Gate views and sourdough soul. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Poesia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
