The Panama Canal

Posted: May 08, 2026
 
Category: Special Offers

There are some journeys that you just know are going to be special the moment you step onboard. A Panama Canal transit aboard Royal Clipper is one of those journeys. This is not simply a cruise from one place to another. This is a rare chance for customers to sail through one of the world's greatest waterways aboard the world's largest square rigger in service. 

The journey blends the warmth and colour of the Caribbean with the drama of a true ocean passage. Choosing either: Caribbean Luxe, Barbados Stay and Panama Canal Sailing, guests will travel from Barbados through St. Lucia, the Grenadines, Grenada, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, and Colombia, before reaching Panama. Or, sail the reverse route on: A Grand Caribbean Passage, Panama Canal and Antigua Stay, beginning in Panama and journeying through Colombia, Grenada, St. Lucia, and Guadeloupe before a relaxing stay in Antigua.  

Whichever direction you choose, each port of call brings a new rhythm, from soft island beaches and lively harbours, to historic cities and faraway coastlines. 

Then comes the unforgettable centerpiece - The Panama Canal. A feat of engineering, a passage between oceans, and a moment made even more memorable from the deck of the Royal Clipper. With Royal Clipper's Panama Canal sailings not featuring in 2027, this is a rare opportunity to experience this remarkable journey in true Clipper style!
