They’ve pulled back the curtain on their 2027-28 Caribbean and Panama Canal season, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of expansive, a real smorgasbord of maritime adventure.

Imagine this: a staggering 20 ships, setting sail on 129 distinct voyages, weaving through 90 utterly unique itineraries. Yes, you heard that right.

And then, for the more intrepid explorer, comes the awe-inspiring experience of a full transit through the Panama Canal. It's an engineering marvel, a journey that still, after all these years, takes one’s breath away, offering a perspective on the world that's simply unparalleled.

The fleet itself is, you could say, a star-studded affair.
