YOUR HOSTS

Gary and Connie Gannon from Gannon Travel have been escorting tours for over 25 years and have hosted groups to Panama on four other occasions.  What a better way to travel than with someone who knows the ins and outs of Princess.  They can make recommendations on tour opportunities and if you have a question or concern, they are there to take care of it on the spot so you travel worry free.

PANAMA CANAL

Considered by many to be the ‘eighth wonder of the world,’ it’s not surprising that travelers across the globe aspire to one day witness this marvel of engineering up close.  The result of several nations’ historic efforts, a Panama Canal cruise is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, best experienced by sailing through on an unforgettable cruise with Princess.

ISLAND PRINCESS^®

Island Princess was built to Panamax size – this means she can offer you the exclusive experience of sailing through the Panama Canal! A high percentage of balcony staterooms give passengers the chance to view this feat of engineering up-close, or take in stunning views of spectacular glaciers during cruises to Alaska. Featured on just one other Princess ship, the Bayou Café and Steakhouse is a unique dining venue onboard in which to enjoy authentic New Orleans cuisine accompanied by live jazz.
