Vast rainforests teeming with exotic wildlife, jungle rivers overhung with lush vegetation, the unique culture of the Embera Indians ... Central America, Costa Rica and Panama in particular, are evocative and multi–faceted.

Why we love it here: These two countries are remarkably diverse in landscape, wildlife and culture – whetting our appetite for exploration and providing virtually unlimited opportunities for adventure.

Why you might want to visit Central America: To explore some of the best–preserved natural and cultural treasures in the world. To snorkel, dive, kayak, hike, climb, site–visit and cruise through some of the most marvelous landscapes in the world – with brilliantly exotic birds and animals literally everywhere – from the tree tops to the reefs.

Why you might want to go with us: Diversity and delight are the main reasons to choose to visit Central America. And we are the first ship–based company to begin exploring there. You can count on our knowledge and experience, the expertise of our 'locally grown' naturalists, and most importantly, our passionate enthusiasm for discovery to provide you with an extraordinary experience.

Our Costa Rica expeditions are wilderness–focused. When we add Panama, we move from focusing on Nature to the historical drama of the Panama Canal and the indigenous people for whom this region is home.
