Review
" Anne Vipond goes beyond the standard cruise-guide fodder of ship and port descriptions. It's a comprehensive work." -- Chicago Tribune
"...there are few books better on cruising than those by Anne Vipond." -- Globe and Mail, national newspaper, Toronto
"Covers the destinations with solid detail and from the cruiser's perspective." -- Travel Trade Magazine, New York
Product Description
One of the greatest engineering feats ever, the Panama Canal is becoming one of the world's most popular cruise itineraries. Ports of call span the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera, but the highlight of the cruise is the eight-hour transit of the Canal in which six massive locks raise and lower the ship 85 feet. Read about the monumental construction of the Canal as well as the history, culture, flora and fauna of this tropical region. Detail provided on popular ports, from Florida to California.
