Sunken Galleons – Cartagena & Panama Canal

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on January 22, 2027, visiting Oranjestad, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Celebration Key. 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 Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Bahamas, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Caribbean Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 12-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
