Ocean Discovery – Fort Lauderdale, Cartagena & Panama Canal (Cruising Canal)

About this cruise

If you've got 15 nights to work with, this sailing from Fort Lauderdale on January 3, 2028 through Cartagena, Panama Canal and Acajutla, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You get off in Los Angeles, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 7 port calls start. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Colombia, Panama, El Salvador, Mexico and United States. Don't rush through Puerto Chiapas, which is known as Southern Mexico's Pacific gateway to ancient Mayan heartland. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Coral Princess has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All told, 7 ports across 15 nights covers a lot.
