Cruise Ships to Panama Canal

The Panama Canal was advantageously placed at one of the shortest distances between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in Central America. Most cruises through the canal are “respositioning” cruises, between-season voyages that move ships from the Pacific Coast or Alaska to the Caribbean – or vice-versa.

These cruises start in New York or Boston, then travel north up and around Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick before heading southwest on the St. Lawrence River.
