The Panama Canal announced that it expects to receive approximately 234 cruise ships through the panamax and neopanamax locks during the upcoming 2018-2019 cruise season.
The Panama Canal Authority said the first crossing will occur Friday with the 48,075-dwt Seven Seas Mariner (built 2001) on a northbound transit from the US West Coast to the US East Coast.
“As the second full cruise season with the Expanded Canal, we aim to build off our recent milestones and success,” said Panama Canal’s Senior international trade specialist Albano Aguilar.
