Bocas del Toro

Port Bocas del Toro stands out in the Caribbean as an archipelago destination where every voyage becomes a living postcard. From Isla Colon, home to the town of Bocas del Toro, to 50 cays and 200 tiny islets, guests sail through turquoise waters, mangrove channels, and sunlit coves that larger ports can only dream of. Signature experiences include island hopping that blends snorkeling among vibrant coral gardens, guided wildlife walks in Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park (Panama's first marine park), and sunset sails along the Chiriqui Lagoon toward Playa Larga, a critical nesting site for sea turtles. Visitors wander pristine white-sand beaches lined with palm trees and—within a single day—spot howler monkeys, sloths, caiman, and a kaleidoscope of birds while calm bays reflect the emerald canopy. The port's fleet features compact, expedition-style ships built for shallow bays and secret coves, enabling intimate access to ecosystems off-limits to bigger vessels. Onboard services emphasize a Panamanian sense of place, with locally inspired cuisine, open-air observation decks, and eco-education programs, plus shore excursions designed to minimize environmental impact. In short, Bocas del Toro offers a premium, immersive Caribbean cruise experience distinguished by biodiversity, intimate access, and a pace that invites you to slow down and truly explore.
