The Pacific Approach

1. Boarding and Departure: You will board the vessel and set sail towards the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal.

2. Panama Bay Views: Take a moment to admire the spectacular Bay of Panama and the splendorous skyline of Panama City before you pass directly under the iconic Bridge of the Americas.

   Conquering the Locks

   3. Miraflores Lake: You will then enter Miraflores Lake, a small, artificial body of freshwater that separates the Miraflores Locks from the Pedro Miguel Locks.

   4. Pedro Miguel Locks: The ship will enter the Pedro Miguel Locks, the second set of locks on the Pacific side. Here, the vessel is masterfully raised 9 meters (30 feet) in a single step, showcasing the sheer power of the Canal’s engineering.
