On this trip Steve and Joanne cruise through the Panama Canal, one of man''s largest and most difficult engineering achievements, a man-made waterway that divides North and South America.
A series of canal locks raise and lower ships in to Gatun Lake and provide a crossing between the Pacific and Atlantic. By maintaining the fresh water in Gatun Lake it provides a unique eco system making a fascinating and interesting rain forest.
This makes it one of our bucket list vacations. So come with us on a holiday of a lifetime as we traverse the locks, go into the rain forest and visit interesting ports in Columbia, Costa Rica and Mexico on the Emerald Princess one of Princess Cruises older ships.
In this episode we go from the Atlantic to the Pacific ascending and descending the Panama Canal locks and Lake Gatun with it's unique eco system and rain forest habitat. A truly fascinating all-day experience, one not to be missed.
