My bucket list

Now is a great time to visit the Panama Canal and take a partial of full tour. An expansion project, which added another set of locks, opened in 2016. Carmela and Alonso are the perfect hosts. This cruise was at the top of my bucket list.

I recommend!

On a 'partial transit' cruise to the Canal, narrators describe the area and point out the new locks being built as part of the expansion program. The view of Panama City as it pops into view is quite impressive, I definitely recommend.

Best thing to do

Is it best thing to do when in Panama. We've done Princess through the Canal 3 times. Obviously, we've enjoyed it! Have a wonderful time. Read The Path Between The Seas before you go for some excellent perspective.. Enjoy.

Best trip ever!

I lived in Panama for 24 years and never took a trip to the Canal until I moved to the US. Thanks for offering this service to expats! It was an incredible experience that I recommend to allwho are still in Panama or planning to visit.
