It's that special time of the year again, whereby the Panama Canal Cruise ship season commences, this time round with the transit of the Coral Princess, which is sailing on a repositioning voyage from Los Angeles to Ft. Lauderdale. 

As from October 2014 until April 2015, some 200+ Cruise Ships are expected to transit through the Panama Canal during this Cruise season.

The main Cruise Lines involved are:

• Holland America Line
• Princess Cruises
• Celebrity Cruise Line
• Norwegian Cruise Line 
• Costa Cruises
• Hapag-Lloyd

Most of the above Cruise Lines will be operating repositioning Cruises from 7 days to 10 days. 

The lure of the Panama Canal is still very much alive and it's something that all avid true cruisers want to experience at some point in their lives!
