Miami, Colon, Cartagena, Aruba, Willemstad

Colon is located on the stunning Caribbean coast of Panama, where unparalleled beaches and lush tropical scenery blend harmoniously. Here we will marvel the maginificent Panama Canal. You can visit nearby Portobello, discover the ruins of Spanish forts, watch the colorful yachts sailing in the bay or bargain for treasures in the local markets. Time given, travel to the Gatun Locks for a bird's eye view of the immense ships passing through the Panama Canal.

Founded by the Spanish colonists, on June 1, 1533, in a protected bay in the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena has the most extensive fortifications in South America. A system of zones divides the city into three neighbourhoods: downtown San Pedro, with the cathedral and many Andalusian-style palaces; quiet San Diego, where merchants and the middle class lived; and Gethsemani, the 'popular quarter' with plenty of night clubs. Its fortifications, constructed by the Spanish, are today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town the walls protected is also part of that World Heritage designation. Cruise visitors can walk those deeply textured alleyways today through some of the best-preserved colonial neighborhoods of the Americas. There are nice beaches ready to enjoy, such as the busy Bocagrande, which is close to the city and the quiet Playa Blanca, in the south, across the bay.

Aruba is the Caribbean, but with a charming rugged edge. Brightly coloured houses, vibrant street life and a distinct buzz in the air, are all part of the experience when you visit the capital Oranjestad.You can walk at the Schooner Market and watch merchants sell exotic fruit and fresh fish direct from tiny boats. Aruba is beaches, sun and shopping along Main Street and Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard.Arikok National Park, Aruba's natural treasure, covers nearly one-fifth of the island and is home to rare endemic flaura and fauna, caves for exploring, hiking and ragged, wind-torn bits of coastline for mountain climbing.

Willemstad, with its deepwater harbor Shottegat, interlacing waterways and narrow shop fronts is the capital City of Curaçao, former Dutch colony, divided in two by St. Anna Bay. Its neighborhoods mix Dutch, Spanish and Portugueseurban styles and then dresses them in effulgent pastels, thus granting it the title of World Heritage City.

Wander the shops and markets of the Punda and Otrobanda districts and soak up some color. Punda is the oldest part of the city, showcasing beautiful 17th - and 18th-century Dutch-style architecture. Make a stop at the floating market, so named because of the vendors who sail by sea from Venezuela each morning to sell their fresh vegetables, fruit and seafood. Don't miss the marine park, taste international cuisine and dance the night away at the numerous bars and discos.
