Itinerary Map

Itinerary Highlights
Vancouver
Dramatic mountains and soaring skyscrapers kiss the sea in this booming British Columbian metropolis. Known as the "Hollywood of the North," Vancouver is stunningly beautiful and richly diverse - highlighted by dense forests, verdant parks, intimate coffeehouses and seaside markets.

San Diego
San Diego's magnificent coastline, ideal climate and Mediterranean facade make it the quintessential Southern California beach city. The best spot to experience the So-Cal beach scene is the 3-mile stretch from the southern tip of Mission Beach to the northern end of Pacific Beach.

Los Angeles
Discover Los Angeles multicultural history by walking through its diverse selection of neighborhoods: See the ornate Twin Towers Dragon Gateway in Chinatown and the traditional Mexican shopping stalls and vendors of Olvera Street. Then, chill by the beach at Santa Monica Pier, or take the iconic drive down Sunset Boulevard, one of the most often-filmed thoroughfares in the country.

Puerto Vallarta
Exuberant tropical vegetation and the majestic Sierra Madre mountains welcome vacationers to this traditional Mexican village. Spend the morning floating above Banderas Bay from a parasail or a hot air balloon. Go golfing or play tennis. Spend a few hours horseback riding in the jungle, or take a mountain bike to see ancient stone paintings.

Huatulco
Huatulco is an authentic Mexican town in the Oaxaca region that thrives on preserving its natural beauty. Cruise to Huatulco and explore the charming old town of La Crucecita, where you can visit the Parroquia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe church ? its cupola features a 20-meter painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the largest of its kind in the world. Fill up at one of the many streets stalls serving carnitas and tamales. Then, explore one of the nine different bays and 22 miles of rugged coastline: Head to Santa Cruz for gentle waves or the crystalline waters of La India, accessible only by boat. Or see exotic waterfalls and lush jungle vegetation at Cascadas Magicas.

Puerto Quetzal
Puerto Quetzal is Guatemalas largest Pacific Ocean port. It is important for both cargo traffic and as a stop-off point for cruise liners. Puerto Quetzal is the ideal starting point to discover some of Guatemalas most iconic attractions. After a short ride outside of this port city, roam the Spanish Colonial streets of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the colossal Volcan de Agua in the background. Cruise to Puerto Quetzal and learn how to weave using the back-strap loom technique or how to grind coffee by hand from the Maya women of San Antonio Aguascalientes. Then, reach Guatemelas highlands, and get happily lost in the town of Panajachel, with its pastel-colored houses that face idyllic Lake Atitlan.

Puntarenas CR
Costa Rica's major Pacific port sits on a long, narrow peninsula in the Gulf of Nicoya. The closest beach resort to San Jose, it features strikingly unusual black sand beaches. Tropical jungles near the city shelter macaws, toucans, parakeets and howler monkeys.
Fuerte Amador
Panama City is the spirited capital of Panama, a center of business and culture and a doorway to the Panama Canal, one of the worlds most famous man-made marvels. If youre looking for colonial charm and great food during your cruise to Panama City, head to Casco Viejo, the hippest and most lively part of Panama City and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For an edgy feel of the city, stroll amongst the skyscrapers that house cool small hotels, chic bars and some of the best shopping areas in Panama. Dont leave Panama without experiencing the wonders of the Teatro Nacional, the BioMuseo (a biodiversity museum) and Plaza de Francia, home to famous landmarks and amazing sights.

Cruising Panama Canal
This $387 million dollar, 51-mile-long canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Completed by the U.S. from 1904-1914 under teddy Roosevelt, it is considered one of the greatest engineering marvels of all time.
Oranjestad (Aruba)
Colonial architecture comprises much of Aruba's bright and breezy capital, which is located just south of the main resort area. Orangestad is extremely popular because of its abundance of boutiques and duty-free shops. Local bars provide great opportunities to socialize with the locals.

New York
The city that never sleeps is quite possibly the world's most illustrious city. Known for its brazen streets, glamorous lifestyles and intriguing crowds, the Big Apple is home to a dizzying number of world-renowned attractions, including the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Central Park and Broadway.
