Princess Panama 24-25

PRINCESS Cruises is inviting travellers to sail through the “world’s greatest shortcut” with its newly released 2024-2025 Panama Canal season.

Guests can choose from new 12day round trip itineraries through the Canal’s new locks or ocean-to-ocean itineraries through its historic locks.

Three Princess ships will sail on 26 departures, visiting 23 destinations in 12 countries, featuring 24 transits through the new locks and 13 transits through the historic locks.

The 12-day round trip itinerary is new for Princess, with guests for the first time ever able to stop in the Southern Caribbean with a late night in Aruba (pictured), and enjoy an additional stop in Bonaire or Curacao.

This itinerary is ideal for guests looking to experience a partial transit, as well as the unique culture in South and Central America, while visiting Caribbean islands and rainforests.

All these sailings go through the new locks.

For guests who want a full transit experience, ocean-to-ocean itineraries stop in Fort Amador, providing an in-depth exploration of the lock system and access to Panama City.

These itineraries sail between Los Angeles or San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale or vice-versa.

All ocean-to-ocean itineraries sail through the historic locks.

A highlight ashore will see guests explore lush rainforests filled with ecological wonders and unique wildlife by visiting a sloth sanctuary.

“Three ships will transit the historic Panama Canal during our upcoming 2024-2025 season offering full transit sailings, ocean-to-ocean or roundtrip options from Fort Lauderdale,” President John Padgett said.
