General
Overview
Our passengers enjoyed sunshine-filled days this winter as they sailed trough the tropics on a unique itinerary that took them to both celebrated and far-flung ports of call. On the MSC Lirica's 11-night round trip cruise from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA where they discovered new and enchanting destinations.
Sailing from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA – Jamaica - Columbia - Panama - Costa Rica - Honduras - back to Florida we visited a dazzling array of cultural and historical ports overflowing with the beauties of nature, pristine beaches, crystal clear surf, coral reefs, mountain peaks, waterfalls, rain forests and amazing nature & wild life.
On this trip we explored Costa Rica's lush tropics where we visited Costa Rica's Puerto Limon, a land of perpetual springtime-iridescent blue butterflies, scarlet macaws and palm promenades. We experienced Panama - from a tour of the Panama Canal to a skyrail trip over the rainforest canopy and a sightseeing visit to Panama City (Jewish community included). Our group navigated to the historic fortresses of Cartagena, Colombia, the oldest city in the New World, and experienced the ultimate tranquility, enchantment and wonder by the variations of sparkling beaches and turquoise waters of Jamaica, Honduras and other Caribbean islands.
Special Entertainment & Program
In addition to the ship’s fantastic activities, facilities and entertainment (incl. Broadway theatre), our special program included live performances by world famous chazzanim Benjamin Warschawsky (who entertained us in live concert with Chazzanut as well as contemporary Chassidic, Italian Opera, and Spanish music) & Azi Schwartz as well as lectures, minyanim, special Shabbat program and more! Of course, all this in the exceptional environment of the MSC Lirica, while our 5 star chefs delighted the pallets of all with gourmet Glatt kosher cuisine and all kosher and Jewish needs were taken care of – par excellence!
