Safari Voyager

A sleek and nimble expedition vessel designed for active exploration of Costa Rica's Pacific coast.

Overview

The Safari Voyager is an expedition vessel specifically designed for navigating tropical waters, combining discreet elegance with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Accommodating 66 guests, this ship allows for an intimate and flexible sailing experience, reaching remote corners of the Costa Rican coastline that are not easily accessed by larger vessels. Its design prioritizes a connection with the environment, featuring spacious social areas and panoramic windows that keep Central America’s lush nature constantly in view.

Life on Board

Life aboard the Safari Voyager is defined by comfort and exceptionally personalized service, thanks to a low guest-to-crew ratio. Guests can relax across four decks, soak in the breeze on the Sun Deck, or socialize in the main lounge while sharing photos of the day’s sightings. The atmosphere is relaxed and adventurous, doing away with formal dress codes to focus on camaraderie among travelers. Furthermore, the experience is complemented by wellness amenities and a “farm-to-table” culinary approach, where every meal celebrates local flavors using fresh, sustainably sourced regional ingredients.

Adventure and Exploration

The heart of the experience is active exploration and direct contact with biodiversity. The ship is equipped with a specialized launch platform that facilitates the deployment of kayaks, paddleboards, and skiffs for quick excursions into mangroves and reefs. Guided by expert naturalists, passengers have the opportunity to hike through primary rainforests, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and spot iconic wildlife.

All-Inclusive Comfort

To ensure a completely worry-free journey, the Safari Voyager operates under a premium all-inclusive concept. This covers everything from group transfers between the Liberia airport and the pier to all entry fees for National Parks and protected reserves. The offering also includes a full gastronomic program and an open bar featuring premium spirits, wines, and handcrafted cocktails. Supported by expedition guides and guest experts, every detail is handled so that travelers can focus solely on absorbing the “Pura Vida” magic.

Itineraries & Prices

All itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s or your guide's discretion.
