Land Exploration & Expedition Voyage
A TRADITIONAL TALL SHIP EXPERIENCE
Cruise the Caribbean Sea from Panama to Mexico aboard the three-masted sailing ship, Sea Cloud Spirit. Enjoy an all-inclusive lifestyle aboard a vessel that combines the classic design and traditional rigging of its windjammer predecessors with thoroughly modern comforts.
COASTAL CHARMS OF REMOTE REGIONS
Arrive on the shores of remote archipelagos to snorkel vibrant reefs and meet the indigenous communities of secluded villages. Walk through lush rainforest filled with the sounds of birdlife and playful monkeys. Making our way under billowing sails, our voyage is also as much about a life at sea, as it is these stunning destinations.
PROCEED ALONG THE PANAMA CANAL
A transit of the Panama Canal is an essential aspect of the Panama experience. We acquaint ourselves with this astounding triumph of engineering, navigating the locks and waterways of the innovative trade route.
DISCOVER ANCIENT SITES OF THE MAYA
Our journey concludes in Mexico, where towering monuments of the Maya civilisation stand proud. Along the Yucatan Peninsula, we marvel at the ancient sites of Chichén Itzá, Uxmal, and Oxkintok, whose intricate architecture demonstrates remarkable ambition and sophistication.
ANCIENT & AWE-INSPIRING SETTINGS IN TULUM
In the coastal Mexican town of Tulum, we explore an exquisite complex of beachfront ruins during a private tour. Then enter one of the region’s spectacular cenotes, enjoying exclusive access and dining.
NATURAL WONDERS OF RIO LAGARTOS
Delight in the natural marvels along the Yucatan Peninsula’s northern coast. At the wildlife reserve of Rio Lagartos, a flamboyance of pink flamingos strides gracefully through the waters of a lagoon. Close by, we also gaze across the mesmerising surface of a pink lake at Las Coloradas.
