a cruise wonder of the world
Watch from the Promenade deck or from your balcony as your ship is raised and lowered through the Panama Canal’s lock system, powered
by gravity using water pulled from Gatun Lake, and you’ll be struck by the capacity of human ingenuity. Each historic lock fills with an
astonishing 52 million gallons of water and measures 110 feet across and 1,050 feet in length, leaving a berth of only 16 inches on either side
of your ship. While the new, expanded locks can accommodate larger ships, the process is equally as astounding. A Panama Canal expert will
give a live narration from the bridge as you transit the Canal, providing history and insight along the way.
It’s been deemed one of mankind’s greatest engineering
achievements, and sailing the Panama Canal has become
one of the must-do travel experiences of the world.
THE CANAL EXPERIENCE
As you glide from port to port, diversity of people
and sites you’ll encounter in Central and South
America is a wonder to behold. Travel by dugout
canoe to an Embera village in the heart of Chagres
National Park in Fuerte Amador. Witness history
as you ride the world’s first transcontinental
railroad, the Panama Canal Railroad. And soar
above the jungle paradise of Soberanía National
Park via aerial tram. You’ll also have access to
six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the
Archaeological Site of Panamá Viejo, the Historic
On board the Panama Canal Railway
District of Panamá, and Fort San Lorenzo, one of the
most complete and biggest forts built in Panama.

SCENIC CRUISING IN GATUN LAKE
Every transit through the Panama Canal
locks includes scenic cruising through
the wild and wonderful Gatun Lake, once
the world’s largest man-made lake, dotted
with small islands and lush vegetation.
The powerful tankers and container ships
are a sight to behold and this intimate
view of the Gatun Lake canal system is
something only a cruise ship can provide.
Panama Canal construction showing workers
drilling holes for dynamite in bedrock. 1913.
AN ENDURING LEGACY
The Panama Canal took a full 10 years to complete, with upwards of
50,000 workers at a time carving through thick jungle and granite. It
took 4.5 million cubic yards of concrete to make the locks and dams of
the canal, and more than 60 million pounds of dynamite to excavate and
construct it. When it opened in 1914, the 51-mile-long waterway through
the Isthmus of Panama finally linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
In doing so, it forever changed the course of travel, as ships sailing from
New York to California could cross the Canal in eight to 10 hours, rather
than making the nearly 8,000-mile-long journey around Cape Horn.
