From Panama City to Valparaíso · Central America · 9 nights
Designed to provide an unrivalled level of luxury yet immersive global exploration, Scenic Eclipse has it all.
Scenic have gone all out to create the most luxurious, most
technologically advanced and most exciting expedition ship ever
built. We couldn’t have been more excited about the advances that
this ship represented when she launched in 2019, offering
enhancements to already thrilling itineraries.
The port of Fuerte Amador sits at the southern edge of Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The shining skyscrapers of the Panamanian capital are a testament to the city's status as a key financial centre, while the tiny Casco Viejo is home to pretty colonial streets, hip hotels and happening bars. If you find the city's chaotic traffic offputting, you may prefer an excursion to the canal's Gatún Lake in search of wildlife including capuchin monkeys and sloths.
Characterful, colourful and a little chaotic, the port city of Valparaíso is scattered across 45 vertiginous hills. Thanks to this difficult topography the city streets are punctuated by steep staircases and funicular elevators, and energetic explorers will be rewarded with wonderful views of the pastel hued buildings that hug the slopes.
