in The Panama Canal & Costa Rica
You have to go on this trip! It included a bit of everything...hiking, swiming, snorkeling, dancing, island visits, Panama Canal transit, history, etc. Make sure you bring some type of water shoes, the best ones would be something like Tevas where you can get them wet and hike with them as well. Bring a small backpack for the beach excursions. You will be provided with snorkels, masks and flippers. If you have your own mask and snorkel, you ay want to bring it. Bring plenty of sun screen! Bugs were not a problem and bug spray was provided. Have fun!!!!!

    Thanks for the review! We're going on the Feb. 23 eastbound trip. We don't snorkel or swim, but we can manage to sit on the beach! :-) We have Keen sandals with closed toes. Will those be ok for the hiking portion? What do people wear to dinner? We are arriving on Feb. 21 to take an Arenal volcano tour. Thanks for your help!

    Just got back from the Feb 5th westbound tour - LOVED IT! GO GO GO! What an amazing tour. Met lots of great people. Highlights for us were the Canal, stopping for an amazing morning of snorkeling at a small island in the Pacific. And a stop on the Pacific side at the Embera tribe. Really a great experience with the Embera - got our Jagua tatoo's (like Henna and goes away after a week or two).

    The cruise and staff on Le Levant are wonderful. If you can - take the bridge tour (limited attendees) - the captain gives a great history lesson - and all the backup systems of the backup systems of the backup systems - interesting. The chef gives a great galley tour as well. No lack of food on or off ship...

    Some great meals and some average meals - but you won't starve. On ship - breakfast, lunch (with desserts), afternoon tea (with finger sandwiches, cookies, cakes), happy hour drinks, dinner (with dessert).

    Tour will take you to places and see things that you really cannot do on your own or would be very hard to arrange or get access to.

    This was a great trip - and highly recommend everyone to take it! WELL DONE TAUCK!
