Celebrity Cruises Exotics 2008

Fuerte Amador, Panama
Like a sentry, this old fort stands guard
over the Panama Canal’s entrance into
the Pacific Ocean. From here you can
venture into Panama City for shopping,
sit and watch the incredible spectacle
of huge ships making their way through
the waterway, or take a side trip out to
the idyllic islands that dot the mouth of
the canal.
Ports of Call
Manta, Ecuador
This port city affords the visitor unprecedented
access to ancient Manta culture. A short
jaunt from the port lies the Bahía de Manta.
There you’ll find the Parque Nacional
Machalilla, with its cloud forest, archeological
sites, and colonies of nesting seabirds.
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Manta
Highlights & Montecristi, Full Day to Machalilla
National Park, San Antonio Cultural Festival
La Serena (Coquimbo),
Chile
If you’re looking to steal a few tranquil
moments, what better place than the city
known as “The Serene One”? Its nearby
pristine beaches come with powdery white
sand and warm water. And Chile’s secondoldest
city also offers quite a collection of
cultural delights. Be sure to take in the
stunning colonial architecture around the
Plana de Armas and sample the region’s
mouthwatering seafood.
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Take a walk up into the tropical hillsides
overlooking Montego Bay and you can feel
the port city’s energy rise to meet you.
Players sit relaxed along sidewalks playing
dominos, and thriving shopping arcades
pulse with activity. No stop here would be
complete without a visit to the worldfamous
Doctor’s Cave Beach, which is fed
by mineral springs.

Tubing, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, Essence of
Montego Highlights
Lima (Callao), Peru
The cultural and economic heart of Peru,

Francisco are a sight to behold, as are the
thousands of antique texts you’ll find in
the adjoining monastery.

Colonial Lima, Peruvian Art & Museum Tour
Montevideo, Uruguay
Uruguay is cattle country, and although
Montevideo is a thoroughly modern city
with a rich artistic tradition, the reach of
the rural estancias is all around you. If ever
there were a time you were inclined to
indulge, delicious steaks are the specialty
of the house in virtually every restaurant.

Estancia, Juanicó Winery, Full Day to Punta del
Este
