Central America cruises

Made up of seven countries - Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama - the region of Central America is diverse and yet somewhat similar, due to the countries’ shared Latin American background.

While it may often be forgotten as a cruise destination due to its proximity to the Caribbean on its eastern coast, North America and the Galapagos Islands, Central America is a magical cruise destination in its own right. Whether as part of a grand world cruise, a fly cruise or part of a tailor-made cruise and stay package, there are plenty of hidden gems and unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered. From taking a step back in time at the Mayan ruins to white-water rafting, hikes through the tropical rainforests and their diverse wildlife or city tours, there's never a dull moment thanks to the fantastic Central America cruises on offer.

In addition, one of the most popular parts of Central America cruises is the Panama Canal. From Colón on the north east coast to Panama City itself in the south, you'll get to sail down one of the most iconic waterways in the world, taking in the contrast between rugged landscapes, tropical rainforests and man-made feats of engineering such as 85-foot-high locks.
