Our Journey — Navigating Fellowship, Service & Discovery
Each port we visit opens new doors — culturally rich towns, scenic vistas, warm local hospitality, and possibilities for meaningful Rotary service. Whether it’s stepping ashore to explore historic streets, visiting a community in need, or simply taking in nature’s beauty, every stop offers both wonder and the chance to make a difference.
Back on deck, our time at sea will be just as full. Fairfield mornings turn into afternoons of conversation, enrichment, workshops, and time to reflect. As the sun dips low, we’ll come together for dinners, events, and entertainment that bring Rotarians and families into closer connection.

Our Journey Begins
Our journey begins the moment you step aboard Grandeur of the Seas. You’ll be joined by fellow members of District 5710 and The Sunset Club of Boquete. This voyage is more than a cruise — it’s a celebration of service, fellowship, and discovery.
As we sail from Colón, Panama, you’ll feel the excitement build — the ocean breeze on your face, the ship’s gentle motion beneath your feet, and the promise of days filled with connection, purpose, and inspiration. Together, we’ll chart a course toward unforgettable destinations, with the sea as our shared backdrop and Rotary spirit guiding the way.
Our voyage, Rotary at Sea’s is more than an itinerary — it’s a path toward shared purpose. We’ll return home with new friendships, renewed inspiration, and the knowledge that this journey has contributed tangible impact to the world we serve.
Return With More Than Memories — Come Home with Purpose Renewed.
We’ll embark from Colón, Panama, setting sail on an immersive seven-night Southern Caribbean voyage aboard Grandeur of the Seas. As the city of Colón fades into the distance and the canal’s history gives way to open ocean, the excitement of what lies ahead will begin to build.
Our first destination brings us to Cartagena, Colombia, where the city’s colonial fortresses, charming old town, and vibrant streets await. This is a place where history, culture, and color merge — and where our Rotary fellowship can explore and engage.
Between ports, our sea days will be rich with opportunity. You’ll find moments of calm to watch the horizon, times for fellowship, enrichment sessions unique to Rotary at Sea, and conversations that deepen connections. Whether on deck lounges or in cozy interior nooks, these are days to reflect, rejuvenate, and prepare for what’s ahead.
As we return to Colón at the voyage’s end, we do so not just with memories of sunlit shores and sea breezes, but with the shared purpose of service. This journey is more than an itinerary — it’s a pathway to new friendships, refreshed inspiration, and tangible aid for communities we serve together.
