Few experiences can match one of the world’s most dramatic voyages, a cruise from one ocean to another through one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world, the Panama Canal. An engineering marvel when it opened one hundred years ago, the 50-mile passage through the Panama Canal continues to astonish the most veteran traveler. Experience firsthand the mighty locks that raise and lower ships 85 feet using no other power than the force of gravity, accomplishing in mere hours what would have taken a three-week circumnavigation of South America in years gone by. Just as impressive is the cruise through the lush tropical jungle in the Gaillard Cut, a channel hewn through solid rock eight miles thick where the canal slices through the rugged Continental Divide.

We invite you to join us for this voyage of a lifetime featuring the historic Panama Canal during the 2014 centennial-year celebration and the unspoiled rainforests of Costa Rica at the best time of year. Further to our comprehensive itinerary, visit three UNESCO World Heritage sites and Panama’s ancient San Blas Islands, where the Kuna Indians live much as they did centuries ago. Tour one of acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s newest designs, Panama City’s Biodiversity Museum. Experience Costa Rica’s world-renowned and protected national park—rainforests, islands and archipelagos that foster one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet.

This exclusive offering features the intimate m.y. Variety Voyager, launched in 2012. A true small ship, m.y. Variety Voyager carries only 72 guests and provides deluxe accommodations along with an intimate atmosphere to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow alumni.

This is an extraordinary and exclusive opportunity available only to affinity travelers, and it is an excellent value. I encourage you to book now while space is available.

in the Heart of the RainforestNature's Wonders

Cartagena, Colombia This beautiful Spanish colonial city, founded in 1533 and named after Cartagena, Spain, is one of the best preserved walled cities in the world. Today, its massive fortifications and Castillo de San Felipe fortress are a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and an enchanting tribute to this “Ciudad Heroica,” which withstood countless battles over the centuries. Cartagena’s charming circular plazas served as the setting of the movie Romancing the Stone.

San Blas Islands Located on the Caribbean side of Panama, the sun-drenched San Blas Islands are an extraordinary testament to Panama’s commitment to the indigenous Kuna Indians and their centuries-old way of life, including language, customs and culture. Villagers live in typical thatched-roof huts, barter or trade in fish and agricultural products and paddle dugout canoes, their main mode of transportation. Kuna women continue to hand-stitch traditional colorful molas, reverse appliqué panels, and to wear wini, long strings of tiny beads wrapped around their forearms and legs in striking geometric patterns.

Called the “coast of riches” by the Spanish conquistadors who discovered it in 1502, Costa Rica offers travelers incredibly beautiful,

ecologically diverse and fascinating cultural experiences. More than 25% of the country is a national park, wildlife refuge or protected rainforest, earning Costa Rica the distinction of the greenest country in the world and the leading eco-tourism destination. Explore lush rainforests, exquisite beaches and a stunning palette of wildlife, with hundreds of rare and endemic species, including 600 species of non-migratory birds. Costa Rica’s national motto is “Pura vida!” which translates literally as “pure life” but is better expressed by the optimistic, carefree spirit and the smiling faces of the ticos (Costa Rican natives) who welcome you to this spectacular landscape.

Panama City Central America’s most attractive capital city was founded in 1519 by Spanish explorers and rebuilt in the late 17th century. Many historic structures remain today within the designated UNESCO World Heritage site—Panama Viejo, the oldest European settlement in the America’s, and Casco Antiguo, with its cobbled streets and spectacular ruins of 16th-century cathedrals. Near the Panama Canal, the Miraflores Locks Visitor Center provides an ideal observation area and opportunity to see how the locks operate, and the new Biodiversity Museum, designed by architect Frank Gehry of Guggenheim fame, showcases the ecological significance of Panama’s exotic flora and fauna.

Coiba National Park, Panama Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, Coiba National Park and its Special Zone of Marine Protection has emerged as a rich laboratory for studying coral, mammals and plants. In addition to 69 species of fish, humpback, orca, sperm and Cuvier’s beaked whales are known to move through the marine park’s perimeter, and large marlin may be seen leaping from the water. Formed by a steep volcanic outcropping over millions of years, Granito de Oro, which means “granules of gold” to reflect its purity, is an islet known as the “live aquarium of Coiba” for its vast array of exquisite marine life such as parrotfish and orange-sided triggerfish.

The largest island in Central America and once an isolated prison, Isla Coiba hosts terrestrial wonders—untouched rainforest, rugged headlands, pristine white-sand beaches and mangrove

thickets—the perfect environment for the evolution of new and endemic subspecies and for the protection of endangered species.

Osa PeninsulaLocated along the southern Pacific coast, this secluded natural wonderland was declared “one of the most biologically intense places on earth.” Central America’s largest virgin lowland tropical rainforest, the Osa Peninsula’s rugged natural splendor is home to rare and endangered species, including the harpy eagle, spider monkey and three-toed sloth. In Casa Orquídeas, a stunning, maze-like botanical garden of over 100 species of orchids, bromeliads, heliconias and edible plants, visitors can observe colorful toucans, scarlet macaws and jewel-hued hummingbirds.

Quepos Named for the native Quepo Indians and once known for its banana plantations, Quepos today is the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park and recognized throughout the world for its high-quality palm oil and abundant marlin, sailfish and snapper sport fishing.

Costa Rica is famous for its hundreds of stunning freshwater falls.

San José, Costa Rica The horticultural diversity of Costa Rica, the “Garden of the Americas,” is evident in the parks of this vibrant capital city. San José is also an interesting mix of architectural styles, including

Spanish Colonial, Moorish and Modernist. Its National Theater is a regal Baroque edifice modeled on Milan’s La Scala. The National Museum’s

exhibits feature impressive pre-Columbian Central American artifacts.

Formed by damming the Chagres River, the Panama Canal’s stunning Gatún Lake is the largest man-made lake in the world.

Once a forgotten neighborhood, Panama City’s Casco Viejo, the walled colonial quarter, is now a vibrant UNESCO World Heritage site where the culture is a melting pot of old and new, local and imported.

CROSS SECTION OF THE PANAMA CANAL

Tens of thousands of laborers worked—and sacrificed—to complete the largest engineering endeavor of the time.

In February 1915, the 580-foot-long S.S. Kroonland was the largest passenger ship to date to transit the Panama Canal.

Opened in 1914, the “greatest liberty ever taken with nature” cost over $400 million and took 33 years to complete. Spanning 50 miles and cutting through the Great Divide, this historic engineering feat changed the world, opening up new channels of international trade, allowing ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a fraction of the time. The French attempted to build a sea-level canal in the late 19th century, but lack of engineering expertise and disease halted the project.

After extensive political discourse and U.S. involvement in Panama’s independence, the project was turned over to the U.S., who saw the canal’s strategic advantages, and construction began in 1903, during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Almost 100,000 workers were involved, among them French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. When completed in 1914, it was considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. One hundred years later, the Panama Canal has undergone a $5.25-billion expansion, adding a third lane for cargo traffic and maintaining its status as the gateway to the world.
