why Princess® is the best choice to see the panama canal

1 #1 Cruise Line Sailing the Panama CanalWe are the #1 cruise line sailing the region, as we take more passengers through the Panama Canal than any other cruise line. Princess has been crossing the canal for over 50 years, and our onboard destination experts explain the history and culture of Panama over the ship’s intercom as you cross the canal! Choose from two itineraries: a 10-day cruise that sails roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale and lets you experience the Panama Canal locks and explore Caribbean islands or a 15-day Ocean to Ocean cruise that sails between Ft. Lauderdale and either San Francisco or Los Angeles – and offers a full transit of the Panama Canal.

2 A Marvel of EngineeringThere’s no better way to see this bucket-list destination than on a cruise with Princess. Get up close to the historic canal locks or experience the new locks, which opened in 2016, and marvel as your ship is raised and lowered in the locks by gravity alone! Every option includes scenic cruising through Gatun Lake and optional excursions that provide deeper exploration into the engineering and history behind the building of the Canal.

3 Travel Beyond the CanalPrincess truly knows this region and we craft our itineraries to allow our guests to relax on top beaches of the Caribbean, enjoy scenic cruising of Gatun Lake, take in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica and explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cartagena and diverse cultures of Central America.

4 Best Cruises for EnrichmentOur Discovery™ Recommended shore excursions include riding the historic rails of the Panama Canal Railway and visiting Soberania National Park. You won’t want to miss a visit to Costa Rica’s famed Sloth Sanctuary, an Animal Planet™ Exclusive tour. Our Encounters at SEA with Discovery™ speaker series includes local experts that provide live commentary on the history and culture of Panama as you transit the locks, as well as guest lectures. Immerse yourself in the cultures of the region with Carnaval de Panama, part of our Festivals of the World celebration.
