* Ports of call may vary based on itinerary and departure dates selected Cabin PricingPortsFort LauderdaleOriginally a fort built by the U.S. Army in 1838, during the Second Seminole War, Ft. Lauderdale has little left of its warlike past. Instead the city welcomes visitors with broad beaches and an easy pace of life, plus convenient air and water connections that make the city a perfect place to begin or end a cruise.  Panama CanalThe Panama Canal is approximately 50 miles long and joins the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The waterway was cut through one of the narrowest portions of land joining North and South America and took over 400 years to complete. The canal was started by the French and finished by the United States. During the course of this construction over 30,000 people lost their lives. The first ship to transit the Panama Canal was in 1914 and today about fourteen thousand vessels do so each year. MantaA commercial centre – the second largest port after Guayaquil – and a thriving holiday centre, Manta and its people are drawn to the shore and its curving Malecón, the promenade that lines the bay. All of life is here – restaurants, bars and their music spill out, with revellers splitting their time between these and favourite beaches like El Murciélago. Don’t miss the chance to learn about the many talents of the locals and their ancestors – not least of which is the Panama hat that originated in nearby Montecristi. CallaoLocated on the fringe of Peru's fascinating capital, Lima. The city features many fine landmarks, not least of which is the Plaza de Armas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll appreciate its mix of colonial mansions, Moorish balconies, palaces and churches. Don’t miss a visit to the Gold Museum, brimming with resplendent Inca exhibits. Easter IslandBilled as the most remote inhabited island in the world, Easter Island is known locally as Rapa Nui. It adopted its more familiar name after one Johannes Roggeeveen discovered the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. Like him, you’ll come face to face with the ancient Moais. About 800 of these giant statues, representing high chiefs of competing tribes, are dotted around the island. Some weigh up to 80 tons and it remains a mystery to this day how they were quarried and moved before the wheel was even invented.

A well deserved title, indeed, Pitcairn Island is the final resting place of the H.M.S. Bounty and its mutineers. Later, Pitcairn became the first Pacific island to become a British colony. Today it remains a breathtakingly beautiful retreat from the world.
PapeeteA look beyond its bustling waterfront will reveal the island paradise French artist Paul Gauguin came to explore and embrace. The island’s lush interior is a canvas of deep green valleys, 7,000 feet-high peaks and cascading waterfalls. On the south shore lies the Gauguin Museum at Mataiea while at Tautira on the north coast, other famous names like Captain Cook and Robert Louis Stevenson came to call. Back in Papeete, visit the restored ancient temple of Arahurahu Marae or shop for cultured black pearls.
Point Venus, Gauguin Museum, Tahara Hill and Matavai Bay RarotongaThe Cook Islands lie at the very heart of Polynesia, and Rarotonga is it's capital. Rarotonga remains an unspoiled island of staggering beauty. White-sand beaches ring the nearly circular island. Sharp ridges cloaked in lush vegetation rise from the interior. And the friendly Polynesians are legendary—warm, charming and generous. Rarotonga's largest village is Avarua. In addition to it's scenery, the island is famed for its great snorkeling and diving sites, excellent sport fishing, and a relaxed and easygoing lifestyle.
