Treasure-Hunting Passage – Cartagena & Panama Canal

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on November 23, 2026, visiting Oranjestad, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Celebration Key. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 5 countries, from Aruba to Bahamas. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Caribbean Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Aruba, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Bahamas.
