Panama Canal By Cruise Ship
by Anne Vipond
One of the world's greatest engineering feats, the Panama Canal is 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 normally part of a Panama cruise,
from Florida to California. Color photos and maps throughout! Comes with
giant color pullout map of Panama Canal showing detail of attractions
and sights along the entire length of the canal.
