14 Night South American & Panama Canal Cruise

Celebrity Infinity

Once the epicenter of Spring Break, Ft. Lauderdale is now a year-round destination where culture and cuisine are in ample supply. Beautiful beaches, sunshine, coastline, nightclubs and superb restaurants await you in this Gold Coast enclave. More restaurants and shopping on Las Olas Boulevard or Himmarshee in downtown Ft. Lauderdale are a must.

Founded in 1533, Cartagena is the picture-perfect Spanish-colonial village. A fortress wall surrounds the historic village’s pastel-colored architecture, quaint streets and fine cathedrals, containing them like jewels. Stroll through the walled old town (Ciudad Murallada), shop the boutiques housed in what used to be dungeons, and otherwise enjoy a jaunt through a rich history.

“The land of the divided, the world united.” It’s hard to imagine a more fitting motto for what in no uncertain terms irrevocably changed the Western Hemisphere forever. For fifty miles the Panama Canal transects the exotic emerald jungles of Panama and gives one an appreciation of what a Herculean task it was to build this waterway before the advent of computers and giant earth movers.

Manta, Ecuador affords the visitor unprecedented access to ancient Manta culture, including the small rafts once used by the Manta circa 500 - 1500 AD. A short jaunt from the port is the Bahia de Manta. There you’ll find el Parque Nacional Machalilla with its cloud forests, archeological sites and colonies of nesting seabirds.

The cultural and economic heart of Peru, Lima once served as the seat of power for the Spanish Empire of South America. Lima is home to fine museums of archeology, art and even gold. The catacombs beneath the Church of San Francisco are a sight to behold as are the thousands of antique texts you’ll find in the library of the adjoining monastery.

Arica, Chile is an oasis, literally. Bordered by desert sand dunes and fertile valleys fed by the melting and life-giving snows of the Andes, this city is located in the heart of some culturally fascinating attractions. The Plaza Colon, Eiffel’s iron cathedral of San Marcos, is one such point of interest. Another is the archeology museum in the nearby Azapa Valley. There you’ll find pre-Columbian weavings, carvings and mummies from the Chinchorro culture dating back to 10,000 BC.

If you’re looking to steal a few tranquil moments, what better place than La Serena, Chile The Serene One. Its nearby pristine beaches come with powdery white sand and warm water. And Chile’s second-oldest city also offers quite a collection of cultural delights. Be sure to take in the stunning colonial architecture around the Plaza de Armas, go stargazing at the Mamalluca Observatory, and sample the region’s mouth-watering seafood.

The entire town of Valparaiso, Chile seems to precariously hang on precipitous cliffs, crisscrossed by narrow, twisting footpaths, stairways and the city’s time-tested rapid transit system of funicular cars called ascensores. If you’ve never ridden one, you’re in for a treat.

Onboard the Celebrity Infinity you will find a sumptuous, world-class meal. A theatrical extravaganza reminiscent of the best on Broadway. Cocktails in a piano bar at midnight, breakfast overlooking the sea at sunrise. Each and every one is a reality on Infinity. A member of our Millennium class of ships, Celebrity Infinity is steeped with prestige and elegance. Dressed in polished marble, warm woods and etched glass, Celebrity Infinity consistently makes a long-lasting, luxurious impression.
