Cunard Panama Canal Cruises

Sailing through the Panama Canal with Cunard Line is an amazing adventure. As your ship rises or lowers, depending on which direction you are headed, you can marvel at the canal’s engineering from your balcony. The Panama Canal is a seemingly unimaginable feat.

You’ll learn about the incredible history of this passageway on your cruise. You will also have several opportunities to explore the beautiful lands of Central America, from the coffee plantations in Puerto Rico to the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua.
