In 2024, you can select a cruise in the prime months of January through April and October through December, departing from six exciting cruise ports:

Full Transit vs. Partial Transit

Choose between full transit and partial transit with a Norwegian Panama Canal cruise. Partial-transit cruises tend to be shorter and often feature round-trip routes. On the other hand, a full-transit cruise presents the opportunity to embark and debark at different ports. Experiencing the Panama Canal in its full glory is a dream come true for many. If this is high on your bucket list, consider a full-transit Panama Canal cruise.
