SPOTLIGHT:
Princess Cruise Destinations
PANAMA CANAL
An eco adventure celebrates the
beauty of natural destinations and builds environmental and
culturalawareness of the area. Through our association with local
ground-based operators around the world, Princess Cruises® prides itself on
offering life-enhancing experiences while at the same time respecting the
natural integrity of the area. Nowhere is this more evident than on our
spectacular Panama Canal cruises visiting lush and exotic ports of call.
The connection that changed the world An epic marvel of modern engineering,
the Panama Canal opened to the world in 1914, and fulfilled a dream over 400
years in the making. Today, almost 100 years later, more than one million
ships have passed through its mighty locks and it remains one of the world’s
busiest and most vital trade routes. The 50-mile Canal route cuts through
sheer granite and dense jungle revealing some of the most breathtaking
tropical sights in the world. Sandy-beach islands line both coasts. Steamy
jungle rainforests, pristine waterfalls, and cool, misty mountain valleys
off er a tropical wonderland to be explored, valued and preserved.
Natural Ecology
The natural ecology of the region
is as unusual as the Panama Canal itself. Each rainforest is its own
delicate ecosystem. Panama is home to the Smithsonian Tropical Research
Institution, which has trained hundreds of tropical biologists dedicated to
long-term ecological studies. On an aerial tram excursion over the Gamboa
Rain Forest Resort, life in the treetops will be intimately revealed to you.
Soar above the forest’s canopy and see the complex ecological communities
that populate the area. This fascinating aerial adventure provides a “bird’s
eye view” to some of the most spectacular tropical vegetation in the world.
Enrich your experience Enhance your Panama adventure with the Princess 2-Day
Canal Experience, providing an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself
in Panama’s environmental treasures. Visit Miraflores Locks for an in-depth
view of how the Panama Canal operates and then enjoy an eco-cruise on Gatun
Lake, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. Your expert guide will
explain the complexity of the flora and fauna of the Canal area and its
ecological contribution to the Canal. As you sail around Monkey Island keep
a lookout for the playful inhabitants who greet you from the trees. A ride
on the hemisphere’s first transcontinental railroad is always a highlight.
The dome cars and observation windows offer unforgettable views of Gatun
Lake and the isthmus’ dense rainforest.
