Treasure-Hunting Passage – Cartagena & Panama Canal

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on November 23, 2026, 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. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Bahamas.
