SOUTH AMERICA CRUISES
Hunt for cultural treasures and outdoor thrills in South America.
Central and South America are a lively mix of cultures, history, music, cuisine and natural landscapes. Lose yourself in the charm of Cartagena, Colombia's colorful and colonial capital city. Travel deep into the lush rainforests of Costa Rica in San Luis Park. Lay back on white-sand beaches like Dzul Ha and Chen Rio in Cozumel, Mexico. Go snorkeling in the warm waters lined with vibrant coral reefs off Belize, and see the Mayan landmark El Castillo in the rainforest near Belize City. Cruise to Central and South America to stroll through the Spanish colonial-era streets of Antigua, Guatemala, with its Baroque churches backdropped by dramatic Volcan de Agua volcano.

& NORTH AFRICA CRUISES
Explore the extravagance of the Arabian Gulf and North Africa, and witness thousands of years of history.
Set sail on Arabian Gulf cruises to explore exotic souks (Arabian markets), smell fragrant incense wafting from a traditional bakhoor burner and sample spicy dishes like machboos, a delicious seafood or meat stew. Visit the mosques of Muscat, Oman, before taking in the sprawling, modern city of Dubai from the tallest structure in the world, the Burj Khalifa. Step back in time in the Al Fahidi Historical District, or soak up the culture at the extraordinary Museum of Islamic Art. If you're feeling adventurous, get a glimpse of giraffes at the Arabian Wildlife Park, or go dune bashing through the desert on a safari. With thousands of years of history and culture brewing in the deserts of the Arabian Gulf and North Africa, you're bound to be swept away.

PANAMA CANAL CRUISES
From Cartagena to Cabo San Lucas, cruise the Panama Canal.
The Panama Canal is one of the most astonishing human-made wonders, a sliver of ingenuity that allows ships to move from one ocean to another. Cruise from the Pacific to the Atlantic, or vice versa, and take in the scenery as you move through this engineering marvel built in 1914. Along with the tropical views and modern design of the canal, there's also great opportunity for adventures on land and by the shore, where you can get in touch with the indigenous culture at the Museum of Oaxacan Art in Huatulco, Mexico, or go kayaking in Nicoya Bay at Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
