The deal
Cruising through the historic Panama Canal is a memorable journey no matter what time of year, but with fall just around the corner the price of cruises through this famous waterway have dropped considerably.
Our editors have found a September sailing on Princess Cruises’ Coral Princess with extremely favorable cabin prices starting from as little as $899 — that’s nearly 71 percent off.
This 15-night cruise aboard the Coral Princess embarks from sunny Los Angeles on September 24 and spends a day at sea before arriving in gorgeous Cabos San Lucas, Mexico. The next stop is Acapulco which is well-known for its cliff-divers and picturesque beaches. Costa Rica and Panama are also listed on the ports of call before the ship does a full transit of the Panama Canal.

On October 5, the ship docks in Cartagena, Colombia — an ideal spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. And, before reaching its final destination of Fort Lauderdale, the Coral Princess also makes a stop in Aruba where passengers can bask on the white-sand beaches and swim in the warm azure waters.

In addition to the starting price of $899 for inside cabins, oceanview staterooms are only a hundred dollars more — which is a steal compared to the brochure rate of $3,372.

The dollars
All prices are per person and based on double occupancy. Accommodations, meals, some beverages, entertainment and port charges are covered in the cost. Government fees and taxes as well as off-boat expenditures are extra.

The catch
Return flights from Fort Lauderdale are not included.
