Sunken Galleons – Cartagena & Panama Canal

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on January 22, 2027, visiting Oranjestad, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Celebration Key. 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 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Bahamas. Don't rush through Celebration Key, which is known as Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Caribbean Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 12 nights. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All told, 6 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
