Panama Canal Passage – Cabo & Cartagena

About this cruise

A 19-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 Seattle on September 28, 2026 and visits Los Angeles, San Diego and Cabo San Lucas, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The trip wraps in Miami, so you won't retrace your steps. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 8 port calls start. 5 countries (United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Cabo San Lucas: Where the desert kisses the sea. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Poesia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 19 nights well spent.
