Panama Canal - Book of Mormon Cruise
This 10-night Panama Canal cruise sails from Miami to Panama City, with calls in Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize City, Roatan, Puerto Limón, and Colón, plus a daylight transit of the Panama Canal. During the days at sea, guests will have the opportunity to attend Book of Mormon seminars. Join us on a Book of Mormon cruise as we explore the Caribbean and traverse a portion of the Panama Canal.
This cruise is a little bit more expensive than a typical Book of Mormon or Panama Canal Cruise. Oceania Cruise Line is a fairly high-end cruise line with very good food. Come join us.

We also visit a cenote and those who wish to enjoy the cool waters should come prepared with a towel and swimwear.
