To ensure your safety and give you peace of mind, we have worked with our regional team and listened to government guidance and feedback from our travelers to create these health and safety protocols for this Small Ship Adventure:
- All travelers joining us aboard our small ships must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure and provide proof of vaccination upon boarding the ship. If you are unable to provide proof of vaccination upon arrival at your destination, you will have to return home at your own expense
- All local Trip Experience Leaders, ship staff, and crew will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
- All coach drivers will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
- All public areas will be sanitized nightly and all ships are equipped with High Efficiency Particular Air (HEPA) filters.
- All travelers, ship crew, and Trip Experience Leaders will have their temperature checked every time they return to the ship using a non-contact infrared temperature scanner.
- All meals are served by the dining staff—buffets are no longer available.
To meet this requirement, please bring your original COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card with you on your trip. The white card must display your name, type of vaccine, and the date(s) the vaccine was administered. We also suggest taking a picture of this card to keep for your records as a backup.

M/S Discovery
Launched in 2004, the privately chartered, 24-passenger M/S Discovery catamaran was designed for small group exploration. We have specifically chartered a smaller ship as we feel this is the best way to focus on exploration and to experience the Panama Canal. Relax on the open-air Upper Deck with your group of 20-24 travelers (average of 22); enjoy meals and drinks in the dining area, bar, and lounge; and embark on up-close explorations of the canal and surrounding landscape via the onboard Zodiacs and kayaks, which have a unique platform that lowers and retrieves kayakers gently for your safety and comfort.
Take in sweeping views of the Panama Canal from the open-air Upper Deck
Main deck cabin with double bed
Open-seating dining room
Bar & lounge
Take in views of the canal from your seat on the Sun and Observation Decks, which are complete with chairs in an open-seating arrangement. The Discovery has an Open Bridge policy, which means the command room of the ship will be open to you during the trip so you can observe how the Captain and officers sail.
The Middle Deck features a lounge and dining room. Relax with old friends and new, and participate in onboard discussions in the comfortable lounge, complete with a bar where coffee, tea, and house beer and wine are available all day. Savor regionally-inspired dishes or American favorites during all buffets and table-service meals at the restaurant with single, open seating.
Located one level below the restaurant and lounge, the Main Deck features 12 all-outside cabins, each with a large window for viewing. Please note: There is no elevator onboard to move between decks.
