Similar to previous years, ships from Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line will offer itineraries with full or partial transits.
Smaller cruise ships will also transit the waterway, including Voyager Safari and National Geographic Sea Lion, with shorter seven- and eight-day itineraries, respectively, along the west coast of Central America.
During the upcoming season, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Holland America and Noble Caledonia will have ships transiting with new itineraries. Regent's Seven Seas Explorer will transit on January 2, HAL's Eurodam on April 13 and Noble Caledonia's Hebridean Sky on April 17.
After more than 160 successful transits completed through the new locks, the Panama Canal is now accepting booking requests for Neopanamax passenger vessels for transit dates beginning April 1, 2017.
To date, 11 reservations have been made for passenger vessels to transit the expanded Canal starting October 2017, for the 2017-2018 season.
