Discover Panama Canal

Cruises Panama Canal – A cruise through the Panama Canal is an exciting and exhilarating way to move from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

On your Panama Canal cruise, join other passengers on the decks enjoying the experience of the journey, as you find yourself face to face with the imposing canal walls!

A Panama Canal cruise is one of a kind. Learn about the epic saga behind the canal’s construction, with stories of determination, hard-work, and heroic tragedy, that made this wonderful waterway. You’ll see the astonishing views on either side, the dense forests exuding life as you glide through the pass. Sail through this 80 km long feat of fantastic engineering, visiting the glittering historical ports of Cartagena and George Town.

Choose Your Panama Canal Cruise

On a Panama Canal cruise, you can opt for the traditional trans-canal experience, which means you spend a day on the Canal, crossing from ocean to ocean. “Partial crossings” are also available, for those who are happy just to experience one of the magnificent locks. The ship crosses through one lock, and then lets passengers off in the town of Gamboa, along the Canal. From there, cruisers can enjoy a myriad of shore excursions and take in sights they otherwise wouldn’t see on a day-long crossing.

Whichever type of Panama Canal voyage you choose, it’ll be the journey of a lifetime, creating unique and special memories that only a fortunate few have had the chance to experience.
