But the most impressive of all is
the Panama Canal itself. Since its opening in 1914, the Panama Canal
is "the eighth wonder of the world." and has been considered
an amazing feat of engineering that is acclaimed the world over
as one of man's greatest triumphs. Your path is a storied waterway
that cuts through the Continental Divide, using a feat of hydrotechnology
to raise cruise ships as large as 90,000 tons 85 feet above sea
level. You cruise through a near Garden of Eden - lush, tropical
rain forests and untamed jungles in the heart of Central America,
home to varied wildlife and fascinating cultures. And Panama Canal
cruise itineraries promise gorgeous, exotic ports of call. A Panama
Canal cruise offers more than a passage through the historic Canal,
it also includes the magic and beauty of the Caribbean, Central
America and Mexico.
