Your home for all 10 nights aboard Viking Mars — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 10 Night Classic Panama Canal Passage is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Mars. You board in Fort Lauderdale and disembark in Panama City, calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Florida (Fort Lauderdale), Mexico (Cozumel), Belize (Belize City), Costa Rica (Puerto Limon) and Panama (Colon, Panama City).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Fort Lauderdale and home from Panama City, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
