Panama Canal Cruises
176 sailings from $2,218 per person — compared for you by a real consultant, not a checkout page.
A Panama Canal transit is engineering tourism at its finest: a full day climbing and descending the locks between two oceans, bookended by Costa Rican rainforest and Caribbean ports.
Full transits reposition ships between coasts seasonally, so departures are limited and the best cabins — starboard for the approach, with a balcony — go early.

Which cruise lines sail Panama Canal itineraries?
Royal Caribbean International, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises all operate Panama Canal sailings in our current catalog, from family mega-ships to adults-only and luxury small ships. Which one fits you depends on budget, travel party, and how you like to spend sea days.
Why book a Panama Canal cruise by phone instead of online?
Full-transit sailings are limited each year and priced like the bucket-list trips they are — early access to inventory matters more here than almost anywhere. Call Ticketing-Info and a licensed cruise consultant compares live fares, cabin categories, and current promotions for you — no online payment, nothing booked until you confirm.
