Panama Canal Odyssey – Cabo, Mazatlán & Oranjestad

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 16 nights from Los Angeles on October 4, 2026, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Panama City, Panama Canal, Oranjestad and Fort Lauderdale. You finish in Fort Lauderdale. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Mexico, Panama, Netherlands and United States. Mazatlan alone is worth the trip, Colonial centro meets Pacific surf. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Star Princess launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
