Panama Canal
An epic thing to mark off the bucket list is cruising through the marvel that is the Panama Canal. Seeing how the complex lock system of the Panama Canal operates when you sail through it is an engineering education. The views of the natural surroundings from the ship’s deck along the canal are astounding.

Rainforests and Jungles
A variety of vast tropical rainforests and dense jungles that are ideal for ecological exploration are home to the countries of Central America. Through the tree-lined waterways, you can kayak or take an eco-cruise or go for a guided rainforest walk and meet exotic animals that call it home.

Reef of the Mesoamerican Barrier
The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest reef in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, lies off the eastern coast of Central America. Cruises to Central America and Honduras offers passengers the opportunity to experience snorkelling or scuba tours of the vibrant reef and its marine life.

Local Culture
Central America’s culture varies by region, but with a vast past that goes back to ancient times, it is notably colourful and welcoming. Visit Embera Indian Villages during your cruise to Central America, travel into the highlands to explore ancient cities, and visit a hacienda growing sugarcane and coffee.

Cruise Ports of Central America
As mentioned earlier, depending on the itinerary you select, the countries you might visit on Central American cruises vary. Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; Puerto Limon and Puntarenas, Costa Rica; Colón, Panama; and Roatan, Honduras, are the cities you may be visiting.
