the americas 71 panama canal #1 IN THE PANAMA CANAL As an exclusive benefit of cruising with us, a Panama Canal expert will give a live narration from the bridge as you transit the Canal, providing history and insight along the way. Welcome to one of the greatest modern marvels. The Panama Canal is one of the cruise wonders of the world and an experience that’s full of unexpected delights. When you sail the Panama Canal with Princess, ® not only do you get to transit the Panama Canal, but you’ll also encounter diverse cultures along the way. Whether you decide to do a full transit of the canal or a partial transit from the East coast, this adventure is one you’ll hold on to forever. In 1967, Princess became the first cruise line to take guests through the Panama Canal, transiting the world’s greatest shortcut. Today, Princess remains the #1 cruise line for traversing the jungle-draped and culture-rich destination — taking more guests through the Panama Canal than any other cruise line. 63 Watch from the Promenade deck or from your balcony as your ship is raised and lowered through the Panama Canal’s lock system, powered by gravity using water pulled from Gatun Lake, and you’ll be struck by the capacity of human ingenuity.
