The rich heritage and cultural diversity offer visitors varied opportunities when travelling. A key attraction on these cruises is the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel. The Panama Canal is not only a means of transport for cruise ships, but also a unique sightseeing destination in itself. The season for viewing the Panama Canal runs from October to April, with the rainy season ending in November.
