Description
Experience the most engaging exploration of the Panama Canal and surrounding ports on a 7-night journey along the smooth tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. Pearl Seas Cruises is one of the only cruise lines that takes guests along the entire length of the Panama Canal, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Begin your journey in Cartagena, Colombia, a former center of commerce for the Colonial Spanish Empire, and today a beautifully preserved city with castles and colorful architecture. Continue to the San Blas Islands, an archipelago of picturesque islands and learn about the native Kuna people from our local guide. Cruise the blue-green waters of Gatun Lake, one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, which is surrounded by scenic rainforest and flourishing with native wildlife.
Visit Colon, the city entrance to the Panama Canal, before exploring one of the greatest engineering feats in history. Admire the massive locks of the canal from one of the Pearl Mist’s observation decks or from the comfort of your private balcony as the ship navigates gently through. Travel to Las Perlas Archipelago and admire the untamed natural beauty of these largely uninhabited islands. End your amazing voyage in the capital of Panama, Panama City, and explore the Casco Viejo, the old city, built in 1674 and accented with French and Spanish Colonial style architecture.
