Two-Ocean Traverse – Panama Canal & Cabo

About this cruise

21 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on April 11, 2027 and the route takes you through Oranjestad, Panama Canal and Puntarenas, with additional stops along the Caribbean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 11 port calls start. Crossing 8 borders through the Caribbean: Netherlands, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, United States and Canada. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Puntarenas, which is known as Costa Rica's Pacific coast of cloud forests and volcanoes. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Nieuw Amsterdam takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 11 ports across 21 nights covers a lot.
