Moderators Moderator_02 Posted January 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi. We now have 4 spaces available for this amazing tour. We were totally booked until today. Only taking 25 persons on this trip. One of our dear friends had an accident yesterday and now she, her husband, and 2 visitors will not be able to go. Is there anybody that is interested to fill in these 4 spaces. ****You only have until Wednesday, February 1, 2023 to confirm. PARTY BUS - February 3 (Friday) to February 6 (Monday), 2023 (2 amazing tours in one trip!) A.) Panama Canal “Partial” Transit - a once in a lifetime adventure B.) Visit the Biomuseo, designed by the renowned architect Frank Gehry. We will be staying at the Radisson Hotel Panama Canal conveniently located in the entrance of the Amador Causeway. There are Many wonderful restaurants on the Amador Causeway. There is also an amazing sidewalk that starts at this hotel and goes all the way to the end of the Causeway. The Amador Causeway was built with material taken out to build the Panama Canal..so it is a man made road that has wáter on both sides. From one side you see the entrance of the Panama Canal for the ships going Northbound (which is what we will do), and from the other side you have the most amazing view of the skyline of Panama City. The best way to experience the Panama Canal is in a cruise onboard the Pacific Queen. You will have the opportunity to appreciate the canal up close and to transit through the locks alongside the big ships. See the tugboats in operation and the Panama Canal expansion new set of locks! The Pacific Queen was designed specifically for day tours and cruises. It is a Norwegian built cruiser with a capacity for 250 passengers with 119 ft. in LOA and 25 ft. in Beam. Passengers will enjoy its two spacious, enclosed decks, fully equipped with air conditioning and a comfortable seating arrangement. In addition, an open-air third deck serves as an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy your cruise and relax in a tropical setting. The vessel’s bow can accommodate additional passengers, and enjoys an open-air setting. Onboard the Pacific Queen we operate a souvenir shop, complete with local handcrafts, Panama Canal souvenirs and more. In the first floor, you will find a lounge area with bar where food and drinks are served. The Pacific Queen has a speaker system for tour guide narration of the cruises. The Pacific Queen has six conveniently located restrooms to ensure a comfortable trip. The itinerary is: A.) February 3, 2023 (Friday) – Leave Boquete 7:30AM.
