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

Share

Step aboard the Ruby Princess and prepare for sixteen nights of leisurely travel across the sea from Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco!

This sailing is particularly exciting because you'll exclusively tour through rare cities such as Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, and Fuerte Amador. This route is an interesting one for the Ruby. In fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

This includes all all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. No surprises! Offered at under $120 a day, this is a solid deal.
