VIEW THE JOURNEY
Oranjestad to Balboa / Fuerte Amador
Bougainvillea-covered balconies, jungles teeming with wildlife, one of the most brazen engineering feats in human history… there’s more treasure here than the Spanish ever dreamed of. Step back in time to the height of the Spanish Empire in Cartagena and Santa Marta, where you can tour museums glittering with pre-Colombian gold and jewelers display fresh-from-the-mine emeralds. Join the birds in the rainforest canopy and caimans in thick mangroves. Relive history as you transit the Panama Canal, enormous locks gaping above you and Lake Gatun spread out below. Interact with the Kunas at the San Blas Islands and celebrate the day with our Signature Beach Barbecue there. Dine alfresco beneath a colony of stars and toast the perfect antidote to winter.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 1: Oranjestad
Known for having some of the best beaches in the Caribbean, this Dutch port makes it easy to just … take it easy. Walk through town to choose your favorite carved wooden door, or spend the day like the Arubans do playing dominos at a beachside table.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 2:
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 3: Santa Marta
Romantic Santa Marta has it all: history (Colombia’s oldest city), natural beauty (from gentle bays and beaches to the highest coastal mountain range in the world), and its very own celebrity. Simon Bolivar (“The Liberator”) is known as the George Washington of South America, and this was his Mount Vernon. Visit his beautiful estate or head to one of the two UNESCO Biosphere Reserves nearby.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 4: Cartagena
Welcome to the sparkling city of Cartagena, where the gold and jewels of the Spanish Main awaited shipment across the Atlantic. No pirate could resist, nor will you be able to when you visit this historic city. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is surrounded by 400-year-old walls and contains a plethora of churches, fortresses, and restored colonial mansions. Outside the walls are more treasures: Climb the massive Castillo de San Felipe to investigate its maze of hidden tunnels, or shop for the perfect emerald.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 5: San Blas
The San Blas Islands of Panama is an archipelago comprising approximately 378 islands and cays, of which 49 are inhabited, some by the Kuna people. Scattered over an area of about 100 square miles, the islands are the number 1 vacation destination in Panama although the Kuna work hard to protect their land against overwhelming tourism and keep the islands healthy and lovely, unique and untouched by culture. These white-sand and palm tree lined islands are encompassed by a coral reef and warm, crystal-clear water that is perfect for snorkeling and is home to a variety of marine life including dolphins, sharks and giant manta rays.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 6: Bocas del Toro
Bocas del Toro on Bastimentos island was visited by Columbus in 1502 and then built up with colorful and Caribbean-style clapboard houses by the United Fruit Company in the early 20
th
century. Situated on the beautiful Bocas del Toro archipelago, the laid-back and friendly community is a great combination of races and ethnicities living harmoniously. West Indians, Latinos and
Extraneros
(the resident gringos) make this an easy place to feel right at home and embrace the relaxed Caribbean vibe of the town. Not far from town is the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, as well as two national parks, La Amistad and many banana plantations. We will anchor at Red Frog Marina, considered to have the finest beaches of Panama.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 7: Panama Canal
At nearly 48 miles long, on your transit through the Panama Canal you will enter three sets of locks that raise and lower the vessel 85 feet between the calm Pacific Ocean and the shimmering waters of the Atlantic. Your voyage features a daylight hours transit with numerous observation vantage points for outside viewing and comfortable indoor air-conditioned lounges. Expert onboard commentary enhances your journey as you watch the day to day workings of this bucket list experience.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 8: Balboa / Fuerte Amador
One of the entrances to the Panama Canal on the Pacific side, Balboa/Fuerte Amador was founded in 1519 and is a short distance from Panama City. In 2012 Balboa was ranked #1 in Latin America in the category of world's busiest container ports. Sightseeing highlights include the colonial homes, the Administration Building, the Goethals Memorial, the Prado, and the local handicraft markets of traditional Panamanian crafts.

Insider Tips
One of the best souvenirs of this journey is a hand-embroidered mola made by the Kuna Indians, something that is only sold in Panama and Colombia. One of the best places to buy them is at the handicrafts market in Balboa.
Get ready for a special treat when we’re in the San Blas Islands. We’ll open the Watersports Platform at the stern of the ship so you can enjoy all its complimentary water toys. And you’ll be treated to all the delights of our Signature Beach Party while you are here.
Birders take note: Colombia has the highest bird diversity of any country with more than 1,900 species, and our excursion to Cartagena’s National Aviary lets you see an important sample of this variety.
Brightly dressed palenquera ladies – carrying fruit trays on their heads – add to the beauty and attraction of Cartagena. Some will happily pose for you in exchange for a small tip.
The coffee and chocolate (cacao) grown in this region are delicious. Be sure to try some, and if you have a chance, visit a farm where the crops are grown to learn how they’re produced.
The Windstar Life
The Windstar staff-to-guest ratio is 1:1.5, and it shows.The moment you board you’ll feel it: an ever-attentive crew at your service, providing you with what you want and need, when you want and need it.
