One of the greatest engineering feats ever, the Panama Canal is becoming one of the world's most popular cruise itineraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for Panama Canal Visitors Oct 21 2003
By Steve Pickering
Anne Vipond continues her series of excellent books with this guide to cruising the Panama Canal. Really, anyone visiting Panama would find this book useful, but people on cruise ships will find it invaluable. Anne does an excellent job of relating the history and geography of the Panama Canal. She also delves into the details of the actual ports, including the new cruise port in Colon. This is the best guide to the shore excursions from Colon and on Gatun Lake. If you're traveling the Panama Canal, this book will bring you much better understanding of this unique destination. Anyone who will be debarking for the day in Panama will find that the book will save them much time and money. Highly Recommended!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Dec 11 2008
By Beavertree - Published on Amazon.com
I too am disappointed in this book. It's all over the place with other destinations, format is terrible. Lots of info on nothing relevent. Pictures are good but not relevent! No information on current ports! No information on shore excursions, all info is short and vague. This book was slapped together from many sources and is not for people who are actually planning on a panama canal cruise.

2.0 out of 5 stars Covered with old library markings and Missing "Large Color Map" Oct 21 2009

Purchased this book for a cruise I was taking. Mildly disappointed that the book was marking Library property all over including the card pocket. But very unhappy that the Large Color map of the area was missing (this was the main reason I choose this book).
