Panama Canal

Cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific through one of the great feats of engineering. A Panama Canal cruise combines a bucket-list transit with Caribbean and Central American ports.

The Panama Canal is a 51-mile waterway in Panama that connects the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean Sea, making it an excellent destination for all sorts of unique cruises. Panama Canal cruises are very unique when compared to other cross-country expeditions, being confined to the waterway itself. You might end up taking a full-length cruise of the entire canal or hitting a few core stops along the way. Either way, you can trust that you’ll be put in front of some truly unique natural beauty and cultural touchpoints. Many different lines offer Panama Canal cruises, meaning you have plenty of options for experiencing the one-of-a-kind passageway. Check out our itineraries below to see how you can experience the Panama Canal – remember to take plenty of holiday as these are generally slightly longer voyages.
