Panama Canal - Ocean To Ocean

16 nights · Star Princess · 7 ports · 10 days at sea

Day 1, Los Angeles

Selected day

Day 1

Los Angeles

United States · Embarkation

San Pedro harbor paths, maritime history, a battleship.

Los Angeles sails from the World Cruise Center at San Pedro, in the harbour south of the city, not from anywhere near the parts of Los Angeles people picture. It is about forty minutes from the airport with no traffic and considerably more with it. Mexican Riviera itineraries and repositioning sailings leave from here.

Ways to spend your day

  • San Pedro Downtown Harbor

    Enjoy the public harbor setting and paths available on your visit date.

  • Los Angeles Maritime Museum

    Explore available indoor exhibits in San Pedro.

  • Battleship IOWA

    Choose the general-admission experience and spaces suited to your access needs.

Day 4

Cabo San Lucas

Mexico

Marina views, natural history, Médano’s shore.

Cabo San Lucas is a tender port: ships anchor off the point and boats run into the marina, which puts you in the middle of the town. El Arco, the rock arch at land's end, is a short water taxi and the thing everyone photographs.

Ways to spend your day

  • Cabo San Lucas marina

    Enjoy a selected public marina-side section.

  • Museo de Historia Natural de Cabo San Lucas

    Choose available natural-history and regional-history exhibits.

  • Playa El Médano

    Enjoy a selected beach section without adding a water excursion.

Day 5

Mazatlán

Mexico

Machado plaza, archaeology, Pacific views.

Mazatlán docks in a working commercial port a short ride from the restored Centro Histórico, which is the part worth seeing and is often skipped for the beach strip. The malecón is one of the longest seafront promenades in the Americas.

Ways to spend your day

  • Plazuela Machado

    Choose the plaza and its surrounding historic streets.

  • Museo Arqueológico de Mazatlán

    Explore selected open galleries of regional archaeology.

  • Paseo Olas Altas

    Choose a manageable public waterfront section.

Day 11

Panama City

Panama

Canal views, the old quarter, a biodiversity museum.

Panama City cruise calls on the Pacific side often use the Amador Causeway cruise terminal. The Causeway, Biomuseo, and transfers toward Casco Viejo or the canal’s Pacific locks are typical; do not confuse this berth with Colón on the Caribbean side.

Ways to spend your day

  • Miraflores canal views

    Check current access during modernization works and keep the agreed return time firm.

  • Casco Antiguo and a food break

    Choose a comfortable section around Plaza de la Independencia after arranging both city connections.

  • Biomuseo on Amador

    Check the museum’s opening on your actual visit date and arrange both connections.

Day 12

Panama Canal Transit

Day 13At sea.A full day at sea aboard Star Princess. Sailing from Panama Canal Transit toward Oranjestad.

Day 14

Oranjestad

Aruba

Town flavors or a beach day.

Oranjestad docks in the middle of town, with the pastel Dutch frontages and the shops immediately outside the terminal. Aruba's draw is the beach rather than the capital, and Eagle and Palm are both short rides north.

Ways to spend your day

  • Town & Dutch pancakes

    Browse town and the waterfront, with pancakes or lunch at Renaissance Marketplace.

  • Eagle Beach

    Choose Eagle Beach for your main outing, checking shade and rentals before settling in.

  • Palm Beach & food

    Choose Palm Beach for a beach area with nearby restaurants and watersports.

Day 17

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

United States · Disembarkation

New River views, coastal gardens, Fort Lauderdale history.

Port Everglades is the cruise port for Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. It is about 4 km (2.5 miles) from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and is a major departure point for Caribbean sailings.

Ways to spend your day

  • Riverwalk public paths

    Choose a manageable public section beside the New River.

  • Bonnet House Museum and Gardens

    Choose selected first-floor exhibit rooms and garden spaces.

  • Historic Stranahan House

    Choose selected rooms on the self-guided audio visit.
