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.
This town is not on the Nicoya Peninsula, but rather on Costa Rica's mainland.

It is best known as a cruise-ship port and launching pad for ferries heading southeast to the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula and for cruises sailing out on the Gulf of Nicoya.

Puntarenas is also a major fishing port with a lively fish market.

The town’s reputation suffers from the unimpressive parts you see from your car as you roll through town on the way to the ferry dock.

But the town has a lot of character off the main drag, thanks to its illustrious past as an affluent port town and principal vacation spot for San José's wealthy, who arrived by train in the last century.

Once the port was moved and roads opened to other beaches, Puntarenas's economy crashed, but it's making a comeback.

Sitting on a narrow spit of sand—punta de arenas literally means "point of sand"—that protrudes into the Gulf of Nicoya, the town boasts a beautifully groomed, wide Blue Flag beach with views of the Nicoya Peninsula and spectacular sunsets, along with a public swimming pool, the San Lucas Beach Club, and a marine-life museum.

Ticos arrive by bus and car to enjoy the beach and stroll the Paseo de los Turistas, a beachfront promenade lined with tree-shaded concrete benches and seafood restaurants.

Crowds of locals, called porteños, cruise by on bicycles, the town’s most popular form of transport.
