About This Cruise
The 16 Night Panama Canal: Miami to Los Angeles is a 16-night one-way itinerary aboard Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady. You board in Miami and disembark in Los Angeles, calling at 8 ports across 7 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Florida (Miami), Colombia (Cartagena), Panama (Colon), Costa Rica (Puntarenas), Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas) and 1 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Miami and home from Los Angeles, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
