Steel Gates & Indigo Tides – Panama Canal & Oranjestad

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. 16 nights from Los Angeles on March 2, 2028, visiting Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco and Puerto Quetzal, with additional stops along the Caribbean. Disembarkation is in Fort Lauderdale. 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. 6 countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Aruba and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Island Princess. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Los Angeles and come back with stories from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Aruba and United States.
