Island Princess • 16 Nights
I selected this voyage for our SkyMed Signature Sailing collection because it offers something truly special. You’ll begin in Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic side of the Americas and, sixteen days later, arrive in Los Angeles on the Pacific—having crossed through the heart of Panama along the way.
The highlight, of course, is the Panama Canal itself. Watching Island Princess enter the locks, rise and fall with the water, cross the Continental Divide and eventually emerge into the Pacific is one of those travel experiences that is difficult to appreciate until you actually see it happen.
But this journey offers much more than the Canal, with Aruba, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico adding tropical scenery, fascinating cultures and wonderful experiences along the way.
If you've ever said, “One day I'd like to see the Panama Canal,” perhaps this is the day to stop saying one day. I hope you'll join us.

A journey from ocean to ocean—Caribbean sunshine, the historic Panama Canal, tropical Costa Rica, Mexico’s colorful Pacific coast, and the unforgettable experience of crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Indulge your appetite whenever you wish on board Princess®. Every hour, our chefs are busy baking, grilling and sautéing great-tasting fare from scratch. Princess dining options include a wide range of culinary delights to suit any palate, from endless buffet choices to gourmet pizza, frosty treats, decadent desserts, and much more.
Experience one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements as Island Princess makes a full transit of the Panama Canal. Watch the ship enter the historic locks, rise and fall with millions of gallons of water, cross the Continental Divide, and emerge into the Pacific—an extraordinary journey from one ocean to another.
And importantly, the sources specifically identify the January 19 transit as a full transit through the historic locks, rather than the newer locks.
