9) Panama Canal
This is an ideal cruise destination for seniors who are interested in seeing one of the architectural wonders of the modern world—the Panama Canal. Cruise lines often re-locate ships to, and from, Alaska and the Caribbean, during the spring and fall/autumn. They use the Panama Canal to traverse between east and west; and this means great opportunities for some great prices. For seniors who have mobility issues, there are partial transit trips that include passage through the Gatun Locks to the breathtaking Gatun Lake. Those seniors who want to go from ocean to ocean can take full transits, which will include the Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Miraflores Locks, and destination points throughout the Caribbean and Central America. All cruises will offer great lecture series and other enrichment activities, making this cruise destination a great choice for seniors.
