We woke up and looked out our window to see dawn riising over the Darien Gap, one of the highlights of this cruise to the Panama Canal and the Darien Gap.
We were going ashore at Playa Muerte to visit the Embera people. The landing spot can be a little difficult to find and navigate so some of the Embera come aboard to help guide the Zodiacs heading to shore.
And they happen to be on board the ship at breakfast time, so they join the queue for a full breakfast buffet.
You won't find that in any brochure.

National Geographic Quest
| Built | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Max passengers | 100 |
National Geographic Quest is a state-of-the-art, purpose-built expedition vessel made for exploring coastal waters, shallow coves, and fast-moving channels where wildlife congregate while sailing with the luxury of supreme comfort. Spacious cabins, open decks for wildlife viewing, and specialty tools for exploration make it the ideal platform for sailing in the remote areas of Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize.
Designed with decades of expedition experience in the region, National Geographic Quest more than comfortably accommodates 100 guests in 50 cabins. Her twin expedition craft landing platform allow us to rapidly get on and off the ship to take advantage of wildlife sightings and to ensure we maximize our time off the ship exploring. Created with a shallow draft, Quest draws only nine feet of water allowing her to sail into places where much larger ships cannot go.
Deck plans are for illustrative purposes only – The actual ship and cabin layout may differ.
