four of the specially priced itineraries transit the Panama Canal - truly a
unique experience from the perspective of a small ship. Included are all
meals, pre-post hotels, shore tours, admission to museums and parks, tax and
port fees, and transfers when the SVE air program is
used.

Peninsula - named by National Geographic as ‘the most biologically intense place
on Earth- - $2,567 to $4,762; and the eight-night Treasures of Costa Rica &
Panama where guests
explore the Secas Islands with hikes, by Zodiac and kayak, and snorkel the
secluded bays, Marenco Biological Reserve with its monkeys, toucans, parrots,
manta rays, dolphins and other exotic wildlife, and Panama’s Darien Jungle with
a visit to the local Emberá village - $2,567 to
$4,762.
Accompanied by experienced naturalists and guides, guests participate as much or as little
as they wish – hiking the near-virgin forest trails one day, relaxing in the
warm waters of a secluded beach or kayaking the calm waters of a hidden bay the
next. Naturalists span the sciences -
birds, marine mammals, plants, history/culture, etc. - sharing their love and
knowledge of the region’s tremendous offerings, while the friendly international
crew ensures the onboard comfort and needs of the guests are met. Meals are prepared by talented chefs making
use of local ingredients, freshly caught seafood and, of course, locally grown
coffee.
Led by former executive director of International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO)
and eco-tourism expert Denise Landau, Sea Voyager Expeditions offers true
adventure cruises vs. the more commonly known soft-adventure sailings – where
guides lead passengers along well-worn paths, amid groups of others visitors
while pointing out the local animals and sights. “We have chosen to specialize in this region
and share its spectacular diversity as exploration from the sea floor to the
rainforest canopy is possible,” states Denise Landau, CEO and president. “Our itineraries are as varied as the noisy
monkeys, the myriad of colorful butterflies, and the thousands of species of
birds unique and endemic to this region.”
