Panama Canal Epic – Grand Cayman & Cartagena

About this cruise

A 17-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on April 13, 2026 and visits Grand Cayman Island, Cartagena and Colon, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You get off in Los Angeles, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 7 countries, from Cayman Islands to United States. Don't rush through Grand Cayman Island, which is known as Seven Mile Beach and stingray encounters. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Summit has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 9 ports across 17 nights covers a lot.
