Overview

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and features a system of locks and cuts to raise ships above sea level. This boat tour lasts about 7 hours and includes a partial transit through the canal. The cruise passes through the Miraflores Locks and the Pedro Miguel Locks, where the water level rises 56 feet. The route also goes through the Culebra Cut, a narrow, excavated part of the canal. Along the way, passengers see the Centennial Bridge and the Bridge of the Americas. The tour includes a guided sightseeing cruise, lunch, and non-alcoholic beverages. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Panama City are provided, though the service does not cover airport hotels or beach hotels located after the Bridge of the Americas. The itinerary involves crossing half of the Panama Canal. It begins with a check-in period of about 15 minutes, followed by passing through a single-level lock in approximately 20 minutes. The cruise then reaches the start of Gatun Lake after about 10 minutes.
