Timelapse footage of a cruise on the Panama Canal
In this timelapse we watch the Queen Victoria cruise ship navigate the Panama Canal, an 80km manmade waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Taken from the balcony of a cabin, this video shows the full eight hour trip condensed into a timelapse video spanning a few short minutes for your convenience.
Watch as the ship pass through the locks and lakes as it makes the transition from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific. The stark difference in the shade of the water is part of what makes the Panama Canal passage such an iconic journey in the world of cruising.
