Canal/Trans-Canal Cruises |
A Panama Canal cruise is a rite of passage every traveler should
experience at least once in their lifetime. Adventures abound
including the exotic Yucatan Peninsula, the wild beauty of Costa
Rica and the plazas and cathedrals of Cartagena. But the most
impressive of all is the Panama Canal itself. Since its opening in
1914, the Panama Canal has been considered an amazing feat of
engineering that is acclaimed the world over as one of man's
greatest triumphs.

| From the Panama Canal's
opening day to present, nearly a million ships have passed through
the mighty locks. Encompassing tragedy and triumph, Spanish kings,
conquistadors and five different American presidents, the building
of this massive project spanned 400 years. And today, nearly 100
years after its completion, the Panama Canal remains one of the most
vital trade routes in the world. |
