16 Night Panama Canal, Ocean to Ocean aboard the Island Princess

Share

Prepare for sixteen nights of leisurely travel across the sea when you embark on the Island Princess from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego.

This cruise is particularly interesting because you will only spend time at rare destinations such as Puerto Chiapas, Huatulco, and Puntarenas. This route is an unusual one for the Island. In fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

Offered at less than $115 a day, this bargain is very strong. The price includes all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes. No sneaky extra fees!


The Island Princess

More than 2,200 people can comfortably cruise on this highly-rated Coral class vessel, based in Vancouver and refurbished less than two years ago in 2024.
