Costa Rica to Panama small ship cruise

Planet

Grab your camera and embark on a journey through a limitless canvas of color, beauty, sound, and aroma. Venture deep into the countries’ national parks, in the search for macaws, sloths, howler monkey and dolphins along with our on- board Naturalist. Cross the legendary Panama Canal. Swim through the crystal clear waters off Granito de Oro and Coiba Islands, soar through a rainforest canopy, and dance with Emberra Indians.. Pura Vida!. Did we mention some of the activities from which you can choose from including snorkeling, lectures, guided tours, and zip-lining? This cruise will bring you closer to nature and local wildlife. Having a naturalist on board our cruise ship, we secure that during your excursions, you learn how to respect and treat the animals you meet and the best ways to move in their natural environment. Keeping their home untouched helps the animals live in peace and make them comfortable with meeting people! The great advantage of small cruise ships is that they are flexible to dock directly to the ports where possible. This way we are not using our tenders very often, we use our swimming platforms, and we suggest our guests to swim to the beaches, walk on shore, and use less transportation possible. This cruise is a trip to paradise and paradise was free of transportation!

People

All our supplies for food, fuel, water and all necessary provisions on board, come from the local market. Our cruise coordinators are acquainted with the places our ship visits so that they make the best suggestions for guests' shore excursions. Our aiming is that all travelers get closer to the everyday living by mingling with the locals on every possible occasion. In addition, we are always supporting the communities by using local guides and proposing excursions which are leaded by locals. At Playa Biesanz in Costa Rica you will enjoy a wonderful "Tropical evening on board", with dances and some local recipes, the best way to discover local cultures: fiestas and gastronomy! During your excursion in the Darien National park you will be welcomed by Embera Indians, one of the 7 indigenous groups living in Panama. Those people are proud of their culture, they are very friendly and are known for their beautiful handicrafts and well preserved traditions. Getting to know them is an unforgettable experience!
