15-Day Norwegian Cruise Line Panama Canal Cruise

Witness first-hand one of the most amazing feats of modern engineering — the Panama Canal. Let history unfold in Cartagena's picturesque squares and explore Panama City  - a vibrant, historic metropolis. West of the Canal, cruise to Costa Rica's jungles, the beaches of Mexico and more. Come aboard and let your incredible journey begin.

NCL offers the unique opportunity to sail the Panama Canal from both Miami and California. Start in the east and cruise the Caribbean with a shorter Canal visit or go all the way west. Or begin in California and sail through Mexico and South America before crossing into the Caribbean and up the east coast.

Sailing the Panama Canal from beginning to end is a lifelong dream for many, and one that was only recently made available to large cruise ships. So make this a journey you'll never forget. Select a longer itinerary and experience the famous system of locks as you cross oceans on the world's greatest shortcut.

Get a birds-eye view of this maritime marvel when you sail the Caribbean entrance and explore the land side of the Panama Canal, then continue on for a tropical cruise. Or take advantage of the miraculous gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with a full journey spanning multiple countries.

With over 100 Panama Canal cruise shore excursions to choose from, you'll have no shortage of water sports, art, culture, and food experiences. Consider exploring the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Costa Maya or snorkeling the Underwater Sculpture Gardens in Great Stirrup Cay. You can also witness tropical sea life during a snorkeling excursion in Cabo San Lucas or try your hand at catch-and-release fishing in Harvest Caye, Belize. Foodies may want to consider an authentic Mexican fiesta (with a tequila factory tour) in Puerto Vallarta.
