A vibrant bridge between North and South America, Central America is significant for its vastly different cultures, wildlife and landscapes. Many of its unique locations are recognised with UNESCO World Heritage status.
To visit Central America is to comprehend the mysteries of the Mayans; to explore wild coastlines and experience pristine natural parks; to trace the line of history by wandering through cities built by Spanish explorers; to discover the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal.
As if these are not compelling enough reasons to visit, Ponant is offering a $1,300-per-person credit towards the cost of flights when the 2019/2020 cruise is booked before 3o June 2019.
By booking early, guests can also enjoy the best Ponant bonus discount available, with savings of up to 30%.
Seven-, 10- and 13-night cruises feature a range of evocative destinations including the Great Blue Hole in Belize as well as Antigua, Granada, Honduras and Guatemala. Guests will see the often-overlooked Mayan ruins in El Salvador and the exotic bird life of Costa Rica while travelling in refined comfort aboard one of Ponant’s latest-generation small, luxury expedition ships.
More than 30 exceptional itineraries – many featuring Ponant’s new Explorer ships Le Champlain and Le Dumont-d’Urville, along with sister-ships L’Austral, Le Boréal and Le Soléal – explore coastlines and islands, with an emphasis on cultural discoveries and encounters with local populations.
