Transit the Panama Canal
An engineering marvel, the canal has reduced the continental divide and drastically eased global commerce. With three sets of locks, the 51-mile trek is an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity. Constructed more than 90 years ago, the conduit altered the geography of the Americas forever. Dams stopped the rivers in their tracks. Valleys became lakes, and mountains islands. While sailing through the most lush of tropical landscapes, this day aboard the Symphony will provide stunning vistas and peaceful escape. |

Oranjestad, Aruba, Dutch West Indies
The town was built around Fort Zoutman shortly after it was constructed in 1796 and Oranjestad has been the capital of Aruba ever since. The charming port city is best explored on foot. Its palm-lined central thoroughfare runs between old and new pastel-painted buildings of typical Dutch style. Aruban handicrafts abound at the dockside bazaar, where bargaining is expected and dollars or florins are accepted. If you’re looking for a little culture, Oranjestad has a handful of museums and houses of worship to visit, many of which offer free admission. |

Basseterre, St. Kitts, West Indies
Founded in 1627, and rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 1867, the law still holds that no building can be taller than the surrounding palm trees. On the southwestern shore of St. Kitts, Basseterre is one of the oldest and most scenic capitals in the Caribbean. The historic district has attractive examples of Creole and West Indian architecture, and the island’s most popular historical attraction, Brimstone Hall fortress, is mere minutes from the port. |

San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan is steeped in Old Spanish tradition. Old San Juan, the original city was founded in 1521 and contains well-preserved examples of 16th and
17th-century Spanish colonial architecture, highlighted by the famous El Morro fort. Many of the narrow streets are paved with adequines, the ballast stones from Spanish galleons. It is easy to see why this whole area is a National Historic Zone. |
