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

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 23 nights from Fort Lauderdale on April 19, 2027, visiting Oranjestad, Panama Canal and Panama City, with additional stops along the US/Canada West Coast. The sailing ends in Vancouver. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. 6 countries (Netherlands, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, United States and Canada) across the US/Canada West Coast, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Puerto Vallarta: Cobblestone streets, Pacific sunsets. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Island Princess. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 13 ports, 6 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
