13 days MS Roald Amundsen Departure: 25 September 2024 TROPICAL WATERS AND REMOTE ISLAND COMMUNITIES IN THE CARIBBEAN Your adventure begins in the ‘City of Neon’, Miami. From here, we head south to experi- ence a slice of Mayan heritage before dis- connecting from the rest of the world as you encounter island living, vibrant sea life and mesmerising coral reefs. Mayan majesty Belize is home to several Mayan ruins, but arguably none as famous as Altun Ha, just outside of Belize City. It's one of the best-restored Mayan sites, enabling you to get a true sense of the ancient civilisation. A sea of flora and fauna White sandy beaches, densely forested islands and a rich variety of sea life await you. We will explore the Belize section of the large Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, one of the world’s largest reefs, second only to Australia’s Great Barrier. Then continue into Honduran Isla Utila, famous for its amazing snorkelling possibilities, the old town of Trujillo, one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas, and the seldom- visited Cayos Miskitos, off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. UNESCO's Seaflower Biosphere Reserve in the waters around Isla de Providencia has inspired a nickname: the ‘Sea of Seven Colours’. In Bocas del Toro, you may have a few optional excursions to spot the exotic wildlife in the UNESCO- listed national marine park here. Island communities One of the highlights of an expedition cruise with Hurtigruten Expeditions is learning about the island communities we'll be visiting. Through lectures from our Expedition Team, you'll learn about their history and society. The warm welcome you'll receive on Big Corn Island will stay with you, and that’s even before sampling the local food of some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.
