Costa Rican Cruises-Rare But Remarkable

If you’re planning a vacation to Costa Rica, why not bring along your hotel and restaurant?  The most delightful way to experience Costa Rica’s marvelous beaches and coastal rainforests is from a cruise ship, and when you treat yourself to a Costa Rican cruise, getting there will be a big part of the fun!

Coata Rican cruises range from seven-or- eight night budget trips with a single Costa Rican port of- call at Puerto Caldera on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, Seabourn’s to four-week affairs which begin at Puerto Caldera and wend their way along the Central American Coast, stopping at Puerto Quepos and Puerto Moins, before touring the Caribbean and ending at Fort Lauderdale.

These Costa Rican Cruises traverse the Panama Canal to get from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, but before they get underway allow their passengers a day at Puerto Caldera to enjoy the sights of San Jose.  One of the most popular attractions is the National Theater at the Plaza Del Culturas.  Modeled after the Paris Opera House, the National Theater houses magnificent Italian paintings, sculptures, and frescoes.

Coat Rican cruise passengers who want a glimpse of the country’s wild side before heading for the Panama canal can take an excursion to Poas Volcano National park during their day in Puerto Caldera (Caldera referring to the volcanic crater).  Some Poas tours also include side trips to the Doka Coffee Estate and the village of Sarchi, the heart of Costa Rica’s artisan community. 

At Sarchi you can shop for hand-carved wooden figures and elaborate canes, hand-woven wall tapestries, leather goods, and toys.  You can also purchase charming miniature replicas of Sarchi’s famous hand-painted wooden carts to use as planters or decorative accents.  Or you can spend your off shore day river rafting on the Corobici River, gliding along through the heart of the Costa Rican jungle and glimpsing some of the hundreds of bird species which make Costa Rica a birdwatcher’s Paradise.

Windstar is one of the two cruise lines which cruises to Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce, where you’ll find Central America’s largest rainforest and one of the few rain forests on Earth which slopes directly down to meet the ocean.  Declared a national treasure by the Costa Rican government, Golfo Dulce such a remarkably diverse ecosystem that you can actually identify 100 different species of trees growing on a single acre!

During your stop at Golfo Dulce you can explore the tiny town of Golfito, established in the 1930s as a banana port, and arrange an excursion to the Corcovado national Park and the remarkable black sand beach at Zancudo.

Even Windstar and Seabourne offer only a few Costa Rican cruises each year, and they aren’t chape.  Even when you arrange thses cruises through online discount cruise booking services at 50% discounts, you can expect to pay a minimum of $7500 for a four-week cruise.  For your money, however, you’ll enjoy a month on one of two of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships. Windstar’s ships are actual sailing vessels, motor-sail yachts with automated riggings.  The can be under full sail within two minutes of having their riggings engaged, and the largest of their four-ship fleet has a passenger capacity of only 312.  Sailing on Windstar entitles you to complimentary water sports activities, including windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking right off the ship’s Water Sports Platforms.

Carved $16.99 Japanese director Koji Shiraishi helms the direct-to-video supernatural horror picture Carved. The story unfolds in an ominous suburban town, where, 13 years prior, the spirit of a woman turned up to terrorize youngsters. During her tragic lifetime, the woman in question had been severely disfigured by her psychotic husband, who slashed her from mouth-to-cheek with a pair of scissors. After her untimely death, she prowled the streets of the town, clad in a surgical mask and a long, sweeping coat, and would accost her victims, removing her mask to reveal her deformities as she queried, Am I pretty? Any victim who answered negatively met an immediate grisly death. Now, after a lengthy absence, the woman's ghost returns to wreak another onslaught of terror on the community. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi Guide
