Navigate the entire Panama Canal — Miraflores, Pedro Miguel, and Gatun Locks — aboard a dedicated transit vessel. Glide through Culebra Cut and vast Gatun Lake in one epic, bucket-list crossing from ocean to ocean.
What to expect
Board a purpose-built transit vessel in the Pacific and spend approximately 8–10 hours traversing the Canal's three lock systems. Watch enormous container ships share the chambers just metres away, then emerge into the jade expanse of Gatun Lake. Expert narration covers the Canal's history, engineering feats, and ecological significance throughout. Disembark on the Atlantic side with bragging rights few travellers ever earn.
Good to know
Full transit days are limited and sell out months in advance — book the moment your itinerary is confirmed. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking; most full transits conclude on the Atlantic side with coach return to Panama City included. Bring sun protection and a light layer for air-conditioned indoor decks.
