Additional Information

Day 1 (APR 13): Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Depart @ 3:00pm

Days 2-3 (APR 14-15): Days at Sea

Day 4 (APR 16): Aruba

Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast: the island's arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast. Aruba's long and colorful heritage is reflected in its dialect. Called Papiamento, it is a tongue that combines elements of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, African and English.

Day 5 (APR 17): Day at Sea

Day 6 (APR 18): Panama Canal Full Transit New Locks

Cruising through the Panama Canal will be one of the unforgettable experiences of your voyage. It takes about eight hours to travel the 50-mile Panama Canal, a 20th-century engineering marvel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. First envisioned in 1513, the canal became reality after the U.S. took over the failed French effort and completed construction in 1914, overcoming massive engineering, health, and logistical challenges. The U.S. managed the canal until 1999, when control was handed over to the Republic of Panama and its Panama Canal Authority.

Please Note: A full transit of the Panama Canal provides guests the opportunity to enjoy this engineering marvel and the beautiful nature surrounding it. Guests will spend this day onboard the ship. Shore excursions will not be offered as the ship spends the majority of the day transiting the canal and its three sets of locks.

Day 7 (APR 19): Fuerte Amador, Panama

Fuerte Amador, situated at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, is a man-made peninsula extending out into the Pacific Ocean. The one-mile causeway was created by connecting four small islands with rocks excavated from the Panama Canal. There are several shops, restaurants, and other specialty stores centered around a large marina that serves as a tender dock. The causeway also affords a panoramic view of Panama City's impressive skyline and serves as the home for the Smithsonian Institute of Tropical Research.

Days 8-12 (APR 20-24): Days at Sea

Day 13 (APR 25): Mazatlan, Mexico

Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a name that means "Place of the Deer," sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre, and the Cerro de Neveria - "Ice Box Hill" - divides the area's rocky Pacific beaches from the broad, white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world's top resort destinations. Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the famed Papantla dancers, Mazatlan remains one of Mexico's major Pacific ports - the city exports over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year.

Day 14 (APR 26): Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression, creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas - or "Cabo" - is one of the premier resort destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax on one of the white-sand beaches or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world.

Days 15-16 (APR 27-28): Days at Sea

Day 17 (APR 29): Los Angeles, California

The City of Angels always hovers between dream and reality. Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the "dream machine." In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and a sizzling culture. LA is the source for trends that migrate across the country and then the world. Where else can you enjoy a Thai taco or munch on a kosher burrito? Or travel from downtown's high rises to the beaches of Malibu, shopping in Beverly Hills along the way?

Days 18-20 (APR 30-MAY 2): Days at Sea
