Exploration and Adventure through a Panama Cruise
Panama cruises take passengers through the world’s most famous waterway and into some of the most amazing destinations on earth. Lasting between 10 and 15 nights, Panama cruises offer breathtaking sights, duty-free shopping, and all the luxuries of a comfortable cruise ship.
Your Panama cruise’s city of origin and your final destination (both one-way and round-trip Panama cruises are available) will determine the port cities in which your ship will dock.
Panama cruises originate from several locations, and the most common are:
- Los Angeles
- San Diego
- Fort Lauderdale
- Miami
Panama cruises frequently dock in cities like:
- Cabo San Lucas
- Acapulco
- Porto Quetzal
- Cartagena
- San Juan
What to Expect on a Panama Cruise
As you might expect, Panama cruise ships sail right through the Panama Canal. What you might not expect is how amazing it is to be on board a Panama cruise ship and experience one of the greatest engineering feats ever accomplished.
Your Panama cruise ship will glide over six massive locks which are part of what makes the canal work; you’ll be raised 85 feet above sea level before the crossing is complete, and you’re back to ‘cruising altitude’ again. Most Panama cruise ships have resident canal historians available to explain how everything works and answer any questions you might have.
As your Panama cruise is traveling from port to port, you’ll be able to enjoy the unparalleled amenities available on most cruise ships. Relax in the spa, dive into an on-deck pool, or keep in touch with the office (but only if you must) through the ship’s business center. Lean over the ship’s railing and feel the cool ocean breeze, have a glass of wine in the lounge, or do anything else that meets your fancy.
When your ship docks, you’ll be able to explore Mayan ruins, dine on a wide variety of ethnic foods, and shop at any of several famed locations. Some Panama cruise travelers choose to take a dip in the warm waters, sunbathe on pristine beaches, or get to know the locals in each port of call.
