BEYOND THE HORIZON...
IS A TRUE SEAFARING ADVENTURE
The lure of long-distance travel upon immense bodies of water is as old as humankind itself. Painters, poets and songwriters have long drawn inspiration from the appeal, the challenge and the mystery of what awaits beyond the horizons of blue, green and turquoise seas. Dr. Samuel Johnson famously wrote, "When a man comes to like a sea life, he is not fit to live on land." When pushing off from the Port of Miami, we’re certain you’ll quickly adapt to the sanguine pace of life at sea. It may be true, as novelist Joseph Conrad wrote, that “He who loves the sea loves also the ship’s routine.” But open water also fuels a desire for adventure, and you’ll find it as you transit one of the 20th-century’s greatest technological achievements — the Panama Canal — before entering the world's largest expanse of water, the mighty Pacific Ocean. As you settle into ocean life, be prepared for a soaring of the spirit. It may come while standing on your balcony, morning coffee in hand, watching diamonds of sunlight sparkle on a sea that stretches to never-ending horizons. Or it may be fired by the rhythms and sweet smells that welcome you to the South Pacific islands of French Polynesia. Mythic, heavenly, verdant — exactly as you’d expect yet shockingly sublime — a people and place you’ll never forget on your journey of a lifetime. As you’ll joyously discover, this pattern is repeated. Hypnotic, almost addicting days and nights aboard Seven Seas Mariner ® , peppered with the excitement of what awaits at the next port of call. Heading south through the Coral Sea, watching for the spectacular Australian coast while navigating the Great Barrier Reef. Visiting a wish-list of cities that ring the South China Sea. Island hopping in the Indian Ocean. Crossing the fabled Arabian Sea on your way to the Gulf of Oman. Rounding the southern tip of South Africa, where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic.
All told, a seafaring adventure as majestic as any ocean.
