Previous Cruise with Kevin and Brahm Groups

PONANT
For centuries, the Antarctic remained like a ghost on the map of the world; yet today, the White Continent exerts a powerful fascination. Explored since only 1820, this vast icy continent offers spectacular mountain scenery, the world’s biggest icebergs, and an extraordinary array of wildlife: fur seals, penguins, albatrosses, sea elephants, orcas, and whales live side-by-side in this grandiose landscape. Who has not dreamed of savouring the white stillness, an extraordinary spell-binding atmosphere of total serenity unequalled anywhere else on Earth? It is an experience not to be missed. We have sailed to Antarctica before and we loved it; however, we forgot to get off the ship onto the continent and to get a picture with a penguin! So, we are going back and would be thrilled if you joined us. #InspiredQuests #CwKandB | ||

Azamara Club Cruises
You are about to become a Costa Rica expert after exploring the exciting heritage, delicious cuisine, and proud culture of Central America. Several overnight stays make it all happen. The first overnight stay is in Fuerte Amador (Panama City), Panama. Take your pick between the Frank Gehry-designed Biomuseo, dinner on beautiful Flamenco Island, or a visit to Panama City’s UNESCO World Heritage site, Panama Viejo. Or do them all. Then sail to Costa Rica, where the ship stays late or overnight at every port. A rainforest and incredible beaches at Golfito Bay and marlin fishing in Quepos give you a taste of local culture. There are spectacular views from the Papagayo Peninsula and dolphins around Isla Tortuga to be spotted. Then it is back to where you started, Caldera, Costa Rica, for a final overnight there. Of course, by now, you are already an expert. There is a lot to do, and luckily, all the time to do it. Perfect weather, amazing landscapes, and nights out on the town sum up this Central American adventure. #InspiredQuests #CwKandB | ||
