Aboard Silver Ray with Silversea Cruises
Cruise Overview
Expect incredible morning views as you arrive into the port for Panama City.
Tinged with a silver pre-dawn light, the city will metamorphosise into a golden glow as the sun rises above it.
And from then on expect one stunning view after another.
Very interesting in its own right, Fuerte Amador is obviously overshadowed by its proximity to Panama City.
So should the Miraflores museum of the Canal, which offers a comprehensive and immersive tour of the Canal including a 3-D experience, four exhibition halls, an observation deck, and a surprisingly good restaurant not interest you then there is always the option of lovely Casco Viejo – literally the old quartier of Panama.
The grand old colonial houses, cobbled streets, independent boutiques and buzzing street scene make this a must stop on your itinerary.
And if you like seafood, you will not want miss the many restaurants and market stalls serving different variations of so-fresh-it’s-still-practically-swimming ceviche.
Best eaten like the Panamanians do, with salty crackers and a cold beer on the beach.
And if money is no object, a cup of geisha coffee – supposedly the world’s best and definitely the world’s most expensive at $7 a shot is definitely a pick me up!
Cool cosmopolitan capital aside, Panama has a skyscraper filled skyline that is worthy of some of its North American counterparts.
But if urban utopia is not your scene then fear not, the sandy beaches and lush rainforests are never more than a short cab ride away.
Cartagena's magnificent city walls and fortresses, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enclose a well-restored historic center (the Cuidad Amurallada, or walled city) with plazas, churches, museums, and shops that have made it a lively coastal vacation spot for South Americans and others.
New hotels and restaurants make the walled city a desirable place to stay, and the formerly down-at-the-heels Getsemaní neighborhood attracts those seeking a bohemian buzz.
The historic center is a small section of Cartagena; many hotels are in the Bocagrande district, an elongated peninsula where high-rise hotels overlook a long, gray-sand beach.When it was founded in 1533 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena was the only port on the South American mainland.
Gold and silver looted from indigenous peoples passed through here en route to Spain and attracted pirates, including Sir Francis Drake, who in 1586 torched 200 buildings.
Cartagena's walls protected the city's riches as well as the New World's most important African slave market.
