Sailing along the Pacific coast
Enter the luxury cruise ship Explora I and experience a 15-day voyage full of variety: remote coastlines and romantic resorts, chic cities and wonderful UNESCO sites. The cruise begins at the Panama Canal. The ship docks at Quepos, Costa Rica, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. You will visit Manuel Antonio National Park, where sloths move slowly and monkeys hang in trees. The tour continues to San Juan del Sur, a quiet beach town for surfers and sunbathers. In Puerto Quetzal, ruins of former glory dazzle us at La Democracia, where pre-Maya statues known as "fat gods" dot the landscape. With a sky and sea largely impeccably blue, Mexico's Rivera calls. Beach resort Puerto Vallarta is set on azure Banderas Bay against dramatic mountains, full of boardwalks and unparalleled sunsets. Cabo San Lucas, at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula has world-class golf courses, epic marlin fishing and dive sites that Jacques Cousteau called "the aquarium of the world.
San Diego and L.A.
With its infinite beauty, we visit sunny San Diego and then venture to Los Angeles, where culture meets the coast. The second-largest city in the United States and perhaps the most glamorous with epic shopping in Beverly Hills, celebrity spotting in Malibu Beach or hiking to the Griffith Observatory for a panoramic view of this City of Angels. Where the world can't find you...
