Package Overview

And since that time, the tremendous growth rate of canal traffic resulted in the expansion project being slated to be completed sometime mid to late 2015. The new third set of locks currently being constructed offers a unique opportunity to experience one of the most magnificent engineering marvels in the world...past, present, and future.

Package extension options are available for those that wish to extend their trip beyond 6 days.
