One of the world's great travel experiences is the daylight passage through the Colorado Rockies over the storied Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, the legendary 'Main Line through the Rockies' that traverses Glenwood Canyon, a visual and engineering marvel. Another 'must see' wonder is the spectacular transit of the Panama Canal, from the Pacific to the Atlantic through rain forests and jungles, a passage not only through the Isthmus of Panama but through history and one of the modern wonders of the world. Happily, for one time only, we have combined these two great travel experiences into one elegant and leisurely holiday that offers great style, comfort and a price that is extraordinary. To top it off, we have included time in Reno and Lake Tahoe, two nights luxury hotel stay in California's lovely Napa Valley (with wine tasting!) and two nights in 'Everybody's Favorite City, San Francisco'. Perhaps nicer, some truly wonderful sightseeing is also featured like a ride on the now restored Virginia & Truckee Railroad to storied Virginia City, Nevada, a visit to colorful Sausalito on San Francisco Bay, and even a cable car ride 'halfway to the stars'. All of this is a prelude to the highlight of this holiday, a 16-day voyage from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale aboard the superb ms Zuiderdam of Holland America Line.

Saving the best for last, we board Holland America's ms Zuiderdam, an elegant moderately sized ship by modern standards and sail under the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge on a rare voyage south to the west coast of Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, the Panama Canal and Colombia that uniquely, features rare and unusual ports, and not the usual collection of overrun tourist haunts. With spacious cabins, a choice of fine dining venues and a proud tradition of Dutch seagoing excellence, there are few better choices for a Panama Canal cruise at any price. For our price, there is simply no better choice and the only flaw in this amazing package is that it is offered only once and will sell out. We invite you to join us. All Aboard!
