Today
sail into the Caribbean seaport of Colón
and grab a good spot on deck so you can take in the view. What a picture it is.
Behold the Atlantic Ocean entrance to the famous Panama Canal. Born from a
desire to get to California (and its Gold Rush) as fast as possible, this
industrious town was the last stop on the 19th century Panama Railroad. It's
now home to Canal Zones, U.S. military bases and of course, beauty. Experience
the partial transit of the Panama Canal, you'll really travel like the jetsetters
do as you sail through the Caribbean entrance of this maritime marvel. Shore
excursions at Gatun Lake can be pre booked with the cruise company. (Please note only clients booked on
the shore excursions will be able to disembark at Lake Gatun - this is a
partial transit excursion, and you will
travel to Colon by land and join the cruise ship there). You can stay on board and take in the
amazing experience and the scenery as well.
