Panama Canal By Cruise Ship
by Anne Vipond
One of the world's greatest engineering feats, the Panama Canal is becoming
one of the world's most popular cruise itineraries. Ports of call span
the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera, but the highlight of the cruise
is the eight-hour transit of the Canal in which six massive locks raise
and lower the ship 85 feet. Read about the monumental construction of
the Canal as well as the history, culture, flora and fauna of this tropical
region. Detail provided on popular ports, from Florida to California.
“...Anne Vipond goes beyond the standard
cruise-guide fodder of ship and port descriptions. It's a comprehensive work.”
Chicago Tribune
“...there are few books better on cruising
than those by Anne Vipond.”
Globe and Mail, Toronto
“Covers the destinations
with solid detail and from the cruiser's perspective.”
