16 Night Panama Canal: Ocean to Ocean Holiday Cruise aboard the Island Princess

Share

Join the Island Princess and settle in for sixteen nights of breathtaking travel across the sea from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles!

This trip is notable because you'll only visit once-in-a-lifetime ports like Puerto Chiapas, Huatulco, and Puntarenas. This route is an unusual one for the Island. In fact, it sails it just once.

At less than $80 per day for an outside cabin, this bargain is incredible. We include all all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in the price, so there are no sneaky extra fees.


The Island Princess

Based in Vancouver and refurbished less than two years ago in 2024, more than 2,200 guests can travel comfortably on this top-rated Coral class cruise ship.

The Island Princess delights guests with a gym, a spa, and a casino.
