Most Searched Packages

A Panama Canal cruise is engineering as a spectator sport: your ship rises through the Gatun Locks, crosses Gatun Lake, and descends at Miraflores to the Pacific, with Cartagena, Costa Rica's rainforests, and Cabo San Lucas along the way. Full transits run coast to coast between Florida and California; partial transits sail round-trip from Florida and turn around in the lake. Fond Travels packages the cruise with flights to the port (one-way for full transits) and a pre-cruise hotel night, booked by phone.

What a Panama Canal cruise package can include

  • 10–11 night partial transit or 14–16 night full transit cruise fare
  • Flights from your US city to Fort Lauderdale or Miami, and home from Los Angeles or San Diego on full transits
  • Pre-cruise hotel night and port transfers
  • Excursions: Cartagena old town, Panama Canal railway, Costa Rica zip-lines and sloth sanctuaries, travel protection

Best time to go

Transits run October through April, which is also the dry season in Panama and Costa Rica; January–March is the most comfortable, and October and April dates have easier flights.

Route options

  • Partial transit: round-trip Florida, the locks and the lake, simpler flights
  • Full transit: the complete crossing plus Mexico's coast
  • New locks: larger ships use the 2016 expansion, an equally impressive passage

FAQs

At least one night before; we build it in so a winter flight delay can't cost you the sailing.

Yes — a passport is required for full transits and strongly recommended on partial ones. We'll confirm the requirements for your sailing.

The transit day is the highlight and most guests want their own rail; we'll also tell you which side of the ship faces the visitor center.

We book a flight to the departure port and a separate flight home from the arrival coast as one package, so you're not paying for an unused return.
