Starting in 2011, m.v. Balboa Explorer will offer unique adventure cruises in Panama, one of the most exciting cruise grounds in the world from many perspectives: historical, natural and cultural.

Panama, at less than 3 hours from major US gateways, 50% bigger than Costa Rica, but with 2/3 its population, allows the discerning traveler a unique travel experience and extraordinary getaway. And if you wonder if Panama is the perfect cruising ground, to put things into perspective: the 48 contiguous states of the USA represent over 100 times the landmass of Panama but only 4 times its coastline!

m.v. Balboa Explorer, aptly name for the first European to set sight on the Pacific Ocean is a self-propelled boutique adventure platform, allowing tailor-made cruises to suite individual tastes and/or group requirements.

Last but not least, the m.v. Balboa Explorer will be the safest, best equipped, most environmentally friendly and most comfortable expedition yacht cruise in the Americas, bar none. This converted former North Sea trawler and its crew will meet Llloyds Register and British Coast Guard large yacht standards and is a true ocean capable expedition yacht. Its small size and our commitment to conservation and the protection of the local heritage makes us a highly sustainable travel operator.
