Pictures of Panama and the Panama Canal
Cruising the Panama Canal - Panama Canal Transit - Panama Canal Excursions
If you're cruising to Panama, this 30-minute video about the Panama Canal is an invaluable resource. It was written and recorded exclusively for cruise ship passengers and contains helpful information about the various ports, new and old locks, dams, and excursions.
In addition, you'll experience a full southbound transit through the Panama Canal, beginning on the Atlantic Coast near the port of Colon and concluding on the Pacific at Flamenco Island. In the process, we'll pass through all five sets of locks, under all three bridges, and through the famous Gaillard Cut.
The video is professionally narrated and includes plenty of still images and illustrations to help you better orient yourself.
It's a video you won't want to miss if you plan to cruise the Panama Canal.

All rights reserved. The historical picture of the Panama Canal was purchased from the Panama Canal Authority. For more information about Panama, we recommend you visit the following site:...
Excellent presentation and very detailed and full of very useful information. The best Panama Canal transit that I've watched. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Mark
At the end I was expecting to see Amador cruise port! Where my cruise will start on the NCL JADE in 2025.
The cruise port is located on/behind Perico Island, which resides along the Amador Causeway. From the port, which is closed to the public, you'll be able to see Flamenco Island; the Causeway, which runs parallel to the Canal; the Biodiversity Museum; and the Panama City skyline. Because the port is closed to the public, I can't enter, unfortunately.
Time for an update! My booked cruise from Panama City cruise port will go through the full Canal. I am flying in to the PTY Tocumen Airport in March 2025
Hi, you mean a full transit, from one end to the other. If you are departing from Panama City and completing a full transit you will likely visit Colombia, Costa Rica, and a few Caribbean Islands. Honestly, those are newly scheduled itineraries. I don't know of any currently operating. Best of luck, and I do plan to record a new, updated version. In the meantime, visit the website panamacanal-excurions.com for up-to-date information about most/all of the excursions.
@@globalfunseeker6733 when I first looked at my cruise I thought it said it would stop in Cartagena, but when I finally booked it Cartagena changed to a port to the northwest of the Canal on the Caribbean side and then on to Aruba and Curacao and Jamaica before Tampa.
I depart January 2023 from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angles on the Emerald Princess. More excited now than ever to make the trip. Happy I have a cabin on the port side of the ship as it appears better for more views of the canal, railroad and Panama. Thank you for an excellent presentation!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you found the video helpful. When transiting through the Canal, you will probably spend most of your time outside on deck and not in your cabin, so you can see the locks and Gatun Lake in its entirety. Everything you see from your cabin can be seen from the deck. Most often, cruise ships enter into the first set of locks early, between 6:00-8:00 a.m., and depart from the Canal around 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Have a wonderful trip. And for more information, you can visit my website at panamacanal-excursions.com/
Fabulous information. I didn’t know much before I viewed it. Now I definitely want to cruise through it. Thank you.
Thanks. I'm glad you found the video interesting, and hope you have an opportunity to cruise the Panama Canal.
Excellent presentation. We are going on a cruise this Nov. and the video is very informative. Thanks
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Many of the cruise ships transiting the canal in November are repositioning from Alaska to the Caribbean for the winter months. In that case, you'll be transiting northbound. If you're departing from the Caribbean or Florida, then you'll be transiting southbound.
The best video I have ever watched on the Panama Canal Locks. Your outline format presentation of the subject matter is outstanding. The transit illustrations, routes, and maps are clear and concise. Thank you sir for sharing it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I intend to publish an updated/improved version for the 2023 cruise season, in addition to other videos of Panama's most popular shore excursions. If you're planning a cruise to Panama, make sure to visit the website www.panamacanal-excursions.com, as I'll be updating that shortly with plenty of new photos and content. Kind regards.
