Planning a panama canal crossing

Review the itinerary to confirm whether the sailing includes a full canal transit and which coast it finishes on. A Panama port call alone does not establish that a voyage crosses the canal.

The calendar below summarizes the 319 upcoming sailings currently listed here. It describes this catalogue, rather than predicting the cruise lines’ complete schedules. Open a route below to compare its ships and endpoints, or compare individual panama canal sailings and fares.

Full transit, partial transit or a port visit?

Princess distinguishes a full canal transit from a partial transit. A full transit travels between the Atlantic and Pacific sides; a partial transit does not necessarily take you all the way through. A stop in Colón or Panama City alone does not establish that the ship transits the canal. Confirm the named transit in the operator’s itinerary.

Choose your coast and onward journey

Start with the embarkation and disembarkation ports. A coast-to-coast sailing and a Caribbean voyage with a Panama visit have different flight and transfer requirements. Do not assume you can embark at an intermediate port or split the cruise into independently bookable legs.

Compare dates, stops and days on board

Princess highlights winter through spring for canal cruising and describes mid-December to mid-April as the dry-season window. The calendar below describes this catalogue’s listed sailings, rather than forecasting every operator’s schedule. Compare the full day-by-day itinerary for the transit day, sea days and stop durations; our listed port calls may be incomplete.

Confirm the whole price before booking

Compare the same cabin category and occupancy, then check taxes, port charges, gratuities and any excursion costs. Ask whether the canal experience is included in the sailing itself or depends on an optional shore excursion. Add transport and hotels at both ends of a one-way voyage to your budget.
