Day 3 ·Puntarenas, Costa Rica
12 Dec 2026Arrive 07:00Depart 19:30One of Latin America's most peaceful countries, often called the "Switzerland of Central America," Costa Rica does not possess an army and boasts a stable democratic government as well as a high literacy rate. Strategically located between two great continents, it has been the benefactor of great cultural contributions from each. Visitors to Costa Rica will be welcomed by friendly people and will enjoy superb scenery and an ideal climate. - 4

Day 5 ·Acajutla
14 Dec 2026Arrive 09:00Depart 18:00Relatively new on cruising sojourns, El Salvador is likely to become pinned as a surprising favorite, due to a unique blend of authenticity and rusticity combined with classic tropical attractions – think national parks, steep volcanos, wide beaches, colonial history, colorful handcrafts and an easy-going attitude. Outdoor pursuits might put you in snorkel gear or on ziplines, or you might make a beeline for a café serving the region’s famed coffee. - 6

Day 7 ·Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa
16 Dec 2026Arrive 11:00Depart 20:00With its golden beaches and brilliant waters, the picturesque seaside port of Zihuatanejo is somewhat reminiscent of Polynesia. Just five miles away lies its twin town, the resort of Ixtapa, an isolated oasis of high-rise hotels, yet Zihuatanejo's natural beauty has been preserved and its pristine, fine sandy beaches remain. - 8
Day 8 ·Manzanillo, Mexico
17 Dec 2026Arrive 09:00Depart 19:00Despite being Mexico’s biggest and busiest seaport, this sunny destination is known for its miles of golden sand beaches – by some counts there are twenty – and water sports including swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, snorkeling and diving. Manzanillo hosts the annual International Sailfish Tournament (be sure to see the 82-foot turquoise sailfish statue in town!), so not surprisingly, the deep-sea fishing here is excellent, too. - 9
Day 9 ·Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
18 Dec 2026Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00Embraced by rugged tropical mountains on one side and the beautiful Banderas Bay on the other, Puerto Vallarta is second only to Acapulco when it comes to the Mexican Riviera's leading resort cities.
White stucco houses are capped with red-tile roofs and surrounded by bougainvillea-lined cobblestone streets. Native women who beat their laundry along riverbanks as busy fishing boats return to port illustrate a lifestyle that has been maintained for decades.
Nearby, sophisticated restaurants, luxury hotels, smart boutiques and lively nightclubs bear testament to the changes wrought on this quiet seaside city since the 1960s. Life here has never been quite the same since the filming of the movie "Night of the Iguana" and the worldwide publicity accorded the romance of its stars, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
Puerto Vallarta brims with life. Shop for leather goods, shell and silver jewelry, hand-embroidered blouses or painted figures from Oaxaca. Explore cobblestone streets and picturesque alleyways filled with the scents and bustling energy
of Mexico. - 10
