Sunken Caldera & Isthmus – Willemstad, Panama & Bimini
About this cruise
Block out 11 nights from January 3, 2028 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Oranjestad, Willemstad, Panama Canal, Colon, Grand Cayman Island and Bimini and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. 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 Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Curaçao, Panama, Cayman Islands and Bahamas, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Colon, Where the canal connects two oceans. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Ascent joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
