u All Shore Excursions Included Dear Temple Alumni and Friends, Few experiences can match one of the world’s most dramatic voyages, a cruise from one ocean to another through one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world, the Panama Canal. An engineering marvel when it opened one hundred years ago, the 50‑mile passage through the Panama Canal continues to astonish the most veteran traveler. Experience firsthand the mighty locks that raise and lower ships 85 feet using no other power than the force of gravity, accomplishing in mere hours what would have taken a three-week circumnavigation of South America in years gone by. Just as impressive is the cruise through the lush tropical jungle in the Gaillard Cut, a channel hewn through solid rock eight miles thick where the canal slices through the rugged Continental Divide. We invite you to join us for this voyage of a lifetime featuring the historic Panama Canal during the 2014 centennial-year celebration and the unspoiled rainforests of Costa Rica at the best time of year. Further to our comprehensive itinerary, visit three UNESCO World Heritage sites and Panama’s ancient San Blas Islands, where the Kuna Indians live much as they did centuries ago. Tour one of acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s newest designs, Panama City’s Biodiversity Museum. Experience Costa Rica’s world-renowned and protected national park— rainforests, islands and archipelagos that foster one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet. This exclusive offering features the intimate m.y. Variety Voyager, launched in 2012. A true small ship, m.y. Variety Voyager carries only 72 guests and provides deluxe accommodations along with an intimate atmosphere to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow alumni. This is an extraordinary and exclusive opportunity available only to affinity travelers, and it is an excellent value. I encourage you to book now while space is available. Sincerely,

Amy Goerwitz Director of Temple Travels Temple University Alumni Association

In February 1915, the 580-foot-long S.S. Kroonland was the largest passenger ship to date to transit the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal 100 th Anniversary Opened in 1914, the “greatest liberty ever taken with nature” cost over $400 million and took 33 years to complete. Spanning 50 miles and cutting through the Great Divide, this historic engineering feat changed the world, opening up new channels of international trade, allowing ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacifi c oceans in a fraction of the time. The French attempted to build a sea-level canal in the late 19th century, but lack of engineering expertise and disease halted the project. CROSS SECTION OF THE PANAMA CANAL Pedro Miguel Locks Culebra (Galliard) Cut Gatún Locks Miraflores Lake Gatún Lake Miraflores Locks Atlantic Pacific Ocean Ocean

After extensive political discourse and U.S. involvement in Panama’s independence, the project was turned over to the U.S., who saw the canal’s strategic advantages, and construction began in 1903, during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Almost 100,000 workers were involved, amongPROOF them French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. When completed in 1914, it was considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. One hundred years later, the Panama Canal has undergone a $5.25-billion expansion, adding a third lane for cargo traffi c and maintaining its status as the gateway to the world.

Tens of thousands of laborers worked—and sacrifi ced— to complete the largest engineering endeavor of the time. m.y. Variety Voyager Oceans Deck Horizons Deck Riviera Deck Marina Deck
