Itinerary

Your luxurious yacht cruise begins in Panama City, where you'll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on your discovery of the Southern Caribbean. (D)

Today, we are passing through the Panama Canal, the most famous attraction in Panama. Considered as one of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Modern World', this canal was built to significantly decrease the travel time for ships between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. In its lifetime, the canal has seen over 900,000 vessels and counting, and is seen by many as an engineering miracle which was at first considered impossible to build. Today, you'll experience this marvellous waterway for yourself. (B/L/D)

The San Blas archipelago is a group of islands located just north-west of Panama in the Caribbean Sea. There are 378 islands within the archipelago spread around in an area of roughly 100 square miles. Most of the islands are uninhabited, but on some of the larger ones, one can meet the native people known as the Kunas. Formally called Kuna Yala (‘Land of the Kuna'), San Blas is an autonomous territory of Panama famous for its untouched nature and traditional culture. (B/L/D)

Located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena de Indias uniquely combines the charm of colonial architecture and the excitement of vivid modern life.

The welcome sign of Santa Marta reads, “Here you can have it all” – and this is truly the case when it comes to the wide variety of activities available in Santa Marta.
