Description

Every mile of the massive Panama Canal represents a hundred stories of extraordinary human vision, tragedy and triumph. One of the greatest achievements of the 20th century, the Panama Canal remains an engineering marvel and one of the world's most vital trade routes. Transiting the Panama Canal is a traveler's "must do" adventure and is just the beginning of the wonders you'll experience on a Holland America Line Panama Canal cruise vacation. Admire the impressive three lock system of the Panama Canal and the lush tropical beauty of Gatun Lake. Walk in the footsteps of ancient Incans at Machu Picchu, built high in the Andes Mountains in the first century AD. Explore rainforests and jungles in search of rare birds and endangered species. Relax on beautiful Mexican and Caribbean beaches. Cruise Costa Rica's Golfo Dulce and South America's Amazon River. Holland America Line Panama Canal cruise vacations offer all this and more.
