Begin your journey with a scenic ride to join a ferry to Fort San Lorenzo. This 16th century fortress boasts panoramic vistas of the Chagres River and the Caribbean Sea. Learn about the history of the pirates and buccaneers that sailed these waters as you traverse this historic site. Proceed to the New Locks Observation center area to view the Canal's newest- set of locks.

Special Notes:

Sequence may vary. Travel time to the fort is approximately 90 minutes including a short ferry ride. This excursion involves walking over uneven ground. Comfortable walking shoes and adequate sun protection are recommended. Ship sightings are not guaranteed. There are no restrooms available at the San Lorenzo Fort.
The Panama Canal Authority assigns specific time slots for the transit of a vessel through the locks. The ship will anchor in a designated area and will wait for instructions. Once clearance is transmitted to the ship, procedures begin to bring ship's tour passengers ashore. Therefore, tour departure times may vary and will be announced onboard. The return time of the ship to Colon or Cristobal may also be delayed due to transit through the locks. We recommend that you are prepared for any potential of delay in the ship's arrival to Colon or Cristobal and plan accordingly by bringing any needed medication or essential items on tour.

Depending on the voyage and itinerary guests will be dropped off in either Colon or Cristobal.
