Cheap Panama Canal Cruises
On a cruise through the Panama Canal, one of the most exciting moments will surely be passing through the canal itself. Passengers can watch from their balcony or the deck as the ship lines up behind freighters, tankers, and other cruise ships passing through and is then raised and lowered through the canal using gravity alone. On either side of the Canal, ships stop in sunny destinations like Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Aruba, and Mexico. Most cheap cruise vacations that include the Panama Canal are at least 10 nights, with some lasting up to several weeks, so you'll have plenty of time to visit multiple tropical destinations.

Most discount Panama Canal vacations sail during the winter and spring, between November and April. Many cruises depart from California or Florida, though some end all the way in Vancouver. Along the way, you can visit ports in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Jamaica, and more. Some cruises also make a stop in Gatun Lake for an eco-safari into the jungle, which has been largely untouched to this day. If you're looking to start and end in the same place, Princess Cruises offers round-trip cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, or Los Angeles, California.
