Your favorite
traveling tandem is off soon on another adventure, this time on a sailing excursion
from Costa Rica to Panama. Yeah, we know, that isn’t cheap, but we did get the
trip at half-price when we saw it offered mid-December. Remember when a ship
sails with an empty berth that is revenue lost forever.
We’re
traveling again with the Unforgettable Cruises people. Readers of this incredibly
informative travel blog may recall that we sailed with Unforgettable Cruises
last July island hopping along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia on a ship that
had only 38 passengers. The London based company is attentive to details and
offer trips to destinations around the world. Their motto is “small ships big
experiences”.
At
first, we considered traveling with them on a two-week liveaboard dive
excursion in the Maldives, an expensive big-ticket bucket-list item for me, especially
now that I am dive certified for open water, but logistically it didn’t work
out. We also considered Bali and Fiji, but we jumped on their special offer of the
half-priced trip we are going on next week. Payment had to be made in full at
the time as the trip was just two months later, but we asked for and received a
modest discount on top of the set rate because we were “frequent” travelers
with the company.
We are on the M/S
Panorama, a three-masted motorsailer first launched in 1993 and renovated in
2014 and sail from Puerto Caldera in Costa Rica, to Panama City, Panama. There
are much cheaper ways of traveling, but the level of luxury offered by the
company makes it difficult to look elsewhere for accommodations
