Take a break from ordinary vacations, and choose the adventure of a lifetime with a Panama Canal cruise. Offering fantastic voyages through both old and new ports with great shopping, culture and plenty of ways to wine and dine, there's never been a better way to escape the everyday. Most Panama Canal cruise vacations average around 14 nights, giving you and the rest of your party all the time in the world to soak up the sights and get away from it all.

Perhaps your Panama Canal cruise vacation will take you through the port of Huatulco, Mexico, where quaint villages meet upscale resorts - plus plenty of white-sand beaches to enjoy the waters of paradise. Enjoy a livelier environment in Cabo San Lucas, and dine at the world-renown Cabo Wabo Cantina Concert Hall & Restaurant, owned by rocker, Sammy Hagar. If you'd prefer to spend your time enjoying all the water sports that a Panama Canal cruise has to offer, don't miss the unbeatable scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities in Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

Regardless of which fantastic Panama Canal cruise itinerary you choose, you're sure to experience luxurious accommodations, fine dining options and daily entertainment aboard your cruise ship. Why settle for the hassle of multiple hotel stays and inconvenient transportation when you can have it all with a cruise vacation?
