And Feel Like You’ve Joined an Exclusive Cruise Club!
The two-lane Panama Canal, with its series of three locks operating as “water elevators”, eliminated the need for ships make the lengthy, and often dangerous, voyage around Cape Horn. So spectacular is the travel experience, once you’ve sailed the Panama Canal it’s as if you’re a member of an exclusive cruise club. For vacationers the Panama Canal, considered to be the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” changed boat cruise travel forever. The undisputed highlight of any Panama Canal cruise is the eight- to ten-hour journey through the Canal, as the ship is lifted and lowered through the lock system. Depending on the itinerary, Panama Canal cruises call in many exotic Central American, Caribbean and U.S. ports known for exclusive travel.
