Mapped by Columbus. Fought over by the Spanish. French, Dutch, Danish and English. The southern Caribbean is a parade of islands and idyllic harbours that beg to be discovered. Verdant, vibrant, Roseau is a dream where shades of emerald green are too vivid to imagine. The Lesser Antilles - Aruba and Curaçao -beguile with vivid flamingos, wind-bent divi divi trees, and Dutch windmills. The curvaceous shore of Colombia leads to an overnight in Cartagena;  a tropical city with a seductive blend of 500-year-old history and exuberant beauty. No place more magical than Puerto Limon; skywalk in a virginal forest and ford rivers in search of anteaters, sloths, and giant butterflies. Nature and ingenuity conspire as we sail under the Bridge of Americas to negotiate the locks of the Panama Canal. With front-row views aboard EXPLORA I, you experience one of the most amazing man-made wonders where the triumph of engineering connects two shuning seas.
