Staff Spotlight: Panama Canal with Princess Cruises

Our travel consultants frequently take remarkable journeys and they always come back with exciting stories and stunning pictures.  Recently, Emily Medina took a trip with Princess Cruises through the Panama Canal and was amazed by this ‘miraculous bridge of water’.  

In April 2017, I sailed on the Island Princess on the 10-day Panama Canal Voyage out of  
​Ft Lauderdale, FL. Our first stop was beautiful Aruba where we explored the rock formations and other city highlights.

​Our second stop was Cartagena where we explored the Old City, born at the height of the Spanish empire and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We shopped and even saw a Colombian folkloric dance and music show.

​Next was the Panama Canal which is a true wonder.  We did a tour in Colon where we saw wildlife in their natural habitat as we cruised through Gatun Lake.

​In Limon, Costa Rica we explored vibrant rainforest filled with exotic tropical plants and spotted lots of birds, monkeys and sloths.

Our last stop was Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  We visited the botanical garden, the beach and
​Dunn’s River Falls.
