THE PANAMA CANAL TODAYA major expansion completed in 2016 added the new Agua Clara Locks on the Atlantic coast and the Cocoli Locks on the Pacific coast, which can now accommodate larger ships to transit the canal. Caribbean Princess® was among the first large ships to sail the Agua Clara Locks, and Emerald Princess® will join her in the 2019-2020 sailing season.

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 cruiseship can provide.
AN ENDURING LEGACYThe 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.
Panama Canal construction showing workers drilling holes for dynamite in bedrock. 1913.
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.
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.
THE CANAL EXPERIENCEAs 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 District of Panamá, and Fort San Lorenzo, one of the most complete and biggest forts built in Panama.
