Back by popular demand, the much talked about Suite Life Panama Canal Cruise is coming again in January 2013! Check out these amazing ports of call:
• Aruba • Curaçao • Costa Rica • Panama •
Aboard Suite Life's Panama Canal cruise, you'll not only tour one of humanity's greatest feats of engineering, but you will also witness tropical wonders and colorful cities unlike anything you've ever seen before. From snorkeling adventures in the gorgeous island of Aruba to the lush jungles of Costa Rica, the ports of call aboard your Holland America Zuiderdam Caribbean & Panama Canal cruise will offer some breathtaking natural balance to the man-made wonder of the Panama Canal.
With its Amsterdam-like canals, gabled Dutch colonial buildings, an exotic floating market, the bustling duty-free port of Curaçao has it all. Plus the world-famous Curaçao Liqueur Distillery and an intriguing coral reef teeming with parrotfish and queen angelfish make this a truly exciting port of call.
Gatun Lake, Panama Canal is key to supplying the water necessary to operate the locks system. Formed by an earthen dam across the Chagres River to keep the water 85 feet above sea level, the water runs downhill to fill the locks. No pumps, no power other than the force of gravity! Fact: It will take about 52 million gallons of water to float your Holland America ship through the locks.
Colon, Panama lies on the stunning Caribbean coast of Panama, where unparalleled beaches and lush tropical scenery are de rigueur. In nearby Portobello, discover the ruins of Spanish forts, watch the colorful yachts sailing in the bay or hunt for treasures in the local markets.
With Suite Life's Long awaited Caribbean / Panama Canal cruise, you will be sure to have a most memorable vacation of a lifetime!
