The immensity of the Panama Canal is truly amazing to see even after nearly 100 years. The audacity of setting out to cut a 51-mile divide through the sheer rock between two great continents beggars belief even today. To contemplate doing so largely by hand is unthinkable. No wonder it took such a toll of human lives. And no wonder a Panama Canal cruise is the perfect way to see the canal proper. To look down from the five-star luxury sightseeing deck, perhaps on one of the finest cruise ships in the world, is to somehow honour the labour of those forgotten ‘navvies’ who made it possible. You can sail into the canal proper and return again into the Atlantic, or you can cruise right through to the Pacific and finish your cruise in Los Angeles, a truly nautical experience. And of course, you can add on extra nights in a city of your choice before or after your cruise. Panama Canal cruises could be one of the most truly memorable experiences you’ll ever have.
