Day 1: Arrive In Panama
Transfer from the Panama City airport to Colón on the Caribbean coast to board the Pacific Explorer. Dinner.

Sleepy Portobelo was once one of the richest ports of the Spanish Main, until plundered by Henry Morgan in 1671. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 4: Panama Canal
Transiting the Panama Canal is an unforgettable experience, especially aboard a small ship like the Pacific Explorer. Note: international maritime law gives priority to large vessels.
