After transiting the Miraflores Locks, our vessel cruises through the famous Gailliard Cut, a nine-mile excavation through Panama's back bone and into Gatun Lake. During our transit, we will pass the Smithsonian Institute's Barro Colorado Island and witness beautiful jungle scenery and wildlife. If time permits, prior to begining the transit, our vessel will travel into the Bay of Panama. In Panama Bay you will get a great view of Panama City's skyline, a bird sanctuary on Flamenco Island, and ships awaiting transit.
Return time can vary depending on lockage availability.
