Port charges are included on your itinerary.

Today is a full day spent at sea, as you cruise onward toward your first destination, Mexico's Cabo San Lucas. Nights are always a buzz with activity, and it's up to you to choose your pleasure - from live theater and the big screen, to plush lounges, swanky casinos and dance clubs.

It is the largest community in Los Cabos municipality, and the second-largest in Baja California Sur, after La Paz. The word cabo translates into English as cape and San Lucas is the Spanish name for Saint Luke. Thus Cabo San Lucas can be translated as Cape Saint Luke and Los Cabos as The Capes.

Today begins a string of three straight days at sea, cruising south through the Pacific Ocean. If you're feeling lucky, make your way to the onboard casino and try your hand at a game of cards, roulette or the slot machines.

Cruising the Pacific Ocean, you are relaxingly making your way south toward the Panama Canal. Curl up with a good book, or explore the ship's vast array of activities, including massages at the spa.

You're nearing the lower portion of Central America now as you continue on to tomorrow's port stop, San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. This day at sea offers ideal opportunity to socialize with others on board. Grab a drink and mingle!

San Juan del Sur is a coastal city on the Pacific Ocean, in south-west Nicaragua. The town is a popular tourist location because of its many nearby spectacular beaches. San Juan del Sur is popular among surfers and is a vacation spot for many Nicaraguan families and foreign tourists, who consider it an unspoiled alternative to Costa Rica. Its population is approximately 18,500, comprised largely of families engaged in fishing. San Juan del Sur, set aside a crescent-shaped bay, was a popular resting place for gold prospectors headed to California in the 1850s.

Puntarenas is the capital and largest city in the province Puntarenas, Costa Rica, at the Pacific coast. The eponymous and oddly shaped province has its largest section in the South, far from the capital. Some 100,000 live in the city and close towns. With beaches on the Pacific Ocean, it also attracts many tourists, especially surfers. It is also a possible stopover point for the touristy Monteverde, further inland. Its port, Caldera, is one of the main ports in the country. Also, regularly scheduled ferries carry vehicles from Puntarenas to the Nicoya Peninsula

Meet your private driver at the port for transfer to a full day tour to the Manuel Antonio National Park. The park is Costa Rica's smallest national park, just over 683 hectares, but it remains one of the most amazing, and most popular to visit. Among a small forested area and three exceptionally beautiful beaches you will find a truly tropical paradise. Here, the mountains meet the sea, the beaches are covered with coconut palms and the ecosystem is teeming with land, air and sea species. During the 2 hour walk on the park trails, you will have the opportunity to see the endangered squirrel monkey (Manuel Antonio boasts the largest population in the world), various colorful and majestic birds, white faced monkeys, sloth, brilliantly colored land crabs, and colorful butterflies. A beach break will be included for time to enjoy the waves! After the tour, you will be returned back to the port.

One full day at sea is all that separates you from the highlight experience of your voyage: transitioning the Panama Canal. Sit back and relax, or alternately, discover the world of art onboard your cruise ship. Every Princess ship has art experts and world-class caliber artwork to enrich your cruise experience, or perhaps, even to take home through one of the art auctions.

Here is the moment you've been waiting for- today you'll transition the Panama Canal. As staggering a concept of digging through the Continental Divide, The Panama Canal also involved constructing the largest earth dam ever built, as well as the most massive canal locks and gates worldwide. This is a true historic engineering feat.

Cartagena de Indias is a port city on the northern coast of Colombia and capital of Bolívar Department. It is the fifth largest urban area in Colombia with a population over 1 million. Founded in 1533 by Spaniard Don Pedro de Heredia, and named after the port of Cartagena in Spain's Murcia region, the city was a major center of early Spanish settlement in the Americas. It experienced rapid development in the eighteenth century as the de facto capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada and as the main hub of commerce and transportation in the late viceroyalty era. The city is presently a center of economic activity in the Caribbean region and a popular tourist destination. Cartagena's colonial walled city and fortress were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

Oranjestad is the capital and most important city of Aruba located on the southern coast near the western end of the island. The town was built around Fort Zoutman shortly after it was erected in 1796. The fort is still one of the town's attractions, others being the tax-free harbour and the Willem III Tower, located near the fort. Dutch colonial architecture is less visible than on neighbouring island Curaçao, but several modern recreations have emerged, including the outdoor shopping mall at Royal Plaza, and a few scattered buildings along Main Street and on the Main Square. Oranjestad is served by the Queen Beatrix International Airport, 2.5 kilometers from the city center.

Today you'll sail north, through the tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. Grab a lounge chair around the big screen and watch one of the various movies lined up during your voyage.

Today is your final day at sea, as you near the southern coast of the United States, sailing to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Spend some time recounting the exceptional moments on your voyage.

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale. This morning you'll disembark from your cruise vessel, and bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates.

Meet your driver for a private transfer with vehicle and driver.
