Relax aboard the six-star Crystal Symphony as you chart a course to fascinating ports of call. Dock in Tortola, stroll the stunning white beaches and, at the next stop, explore the tropical paradise of St. Barthélemy and Guadeloupe. Then, admire the beauty of St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles, while browsing duty-free shops, scuba diving or snorkeling in the island’s vibrant coral reefs, or hiking in the conical hills. Cruise the sapphire waves of the Caribbean Sea as you journey to the beautiful island of Aruba. Next, marvel at the engineering feat that is the Panama Canal. An expert guide will relate the history, mechanics, and fascinating facts about the canal as the ship is slowly raised and lowered through six locks. You’ll be amazed at the narrow Gaillard Cut, blasted out of the canal’s solid mountainside. Savor the beauty of Gatun Lake along the way. Finally, after sailing the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean, your adventure concludes in Caldera, Costa Rica.
