Steel Latitudes – Oranjestad, Panama Canal & Cabo

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 20 nights from Fort Lauderdale on April 13, 2026, visiting Oranjestad, Panama Canal and Panama City, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The sailing ends in Seattle. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Aruba, Panama, Mexico and United States. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Star Princess launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 20-night sailing is a strong place to start.
