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.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica:
The golden beaches, swaying palm trees and fragrant air are just a prelude to what surrounds this beautiful city. Within the nearby jungle-covered mountains are the magnificent Dunn's River Falls, the foliage of Fern Gully and the untouched beauty of the White River.
George Town, Grand Cayman:
The largest of the Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman is famous for its Seven Mile Beach, the popular Stingray City and its excellent diving. Both nature and history are preserved underwater with a collection of easily viewed shipwrecks.
Cartagena, Colombia:
The old walled city of Cartagena reflects a turbulent history of conquistadors and pirates. Climb "las murallas" for an unforgettable view of the harbor. Shop for emeralds and leather goods along the cobblestone streets of this enchanting city.
Panama Canal (Gatun Lake), Panama:
When you book an overland journey on your partial transit of the Panama Canal, you’ll really travel like the jetsetters do as you sail through the Caribbean entrance of this maritime marvel. Once we arrive at Gatun Lake, booked shore excursion guests can disembark for an unforgettable adventure that not only promises beautiful scenery and wonderful photo ops, but an exciting jaunt to Colón, where guests will resume their cruise back aboard the ship. How’s that for excitement? Please note, only booked shore excursion guests can disembark at Gatun Lake. But everyone is welcome to explore at our port-of-call in Colón.
Colón, Panama:
Sail into the Caribbean seaport of Colón and grab a good spot on deck so you can take in the view. What a picture it is. Behold the Atlantic Ocean entrance to the famous Panama Canal. Born from a desire to get to California (and its Gold Rush) as fast as possible, this industrious town was the last stop on the 19th century Panama Railroad. It’s now home to Canal Zones, U.S. military bases and of course, beauty.
Puerto Limon, Costa Rica:
Puerto Limón is known for its multi-cultural community and a festive annual carnaval celebration. In recent years the area has become even better known as must-see stop for eco-tourists. The region's unique geography and neo-tropical climate combined with abundant rainforests make for one of the most naturally diverse "biospheres" in the world. And you can take advantage of national parks and reserves in all directions from Limón. Pay close attention when you dock as many guests have reported seeing peaceful sloths lumbering in the trees right in port!
Harvest Caye, Belize:
Harvest Caye in Southern Belize is the Caribbean's premier island destination. Immerse yourself in natural beauty and culture on a 75-acre oasis featuring an expansive pool with a swim-up bar, salt-water lagoon for water sports, exclusive 7-acre beach and exciting shore excursions ranging from zip lining across the island to snorkeling the world's second largest barrier reef.
Cozumel, Mexico:
The island of Cozumel off the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula continues to be known for its fantastic fishing, snorkeling and diving opportunities. And despite the growth of tourism in recent years, the island and its only town, San Miguel, retain much of their original warmth and charm.
