Join us on an unforgettable Panama Canal adventure with Virgin Voyages as we explore Gatun Lake during our Brilliant Lady cruise! 🇵🇦🚢 In this Panama cruise excursion vlog, we leave Colón behind and head deep into the heart of the Panama Canal for a wildlife boat tour across the famous Gatun Lake — one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, created during the construction of the Panama Canal itself. This Virgin Voyages shore excursion takes us speeding through the Panama Canal shipping lanes, surrounded by huge container ships, before slowing down to explore the jungle-covered islands of Gatun Lake in search of wildlife. Along the way we encounter howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, tamarins, sloths, crocodiles, bats, iguanas and more, all while learning about the fascinating history of the Panama Canal and how Gatun Lake helped shape modern Panama. Could this actually be the best cruise excursion we’ve ever done? 👀 From speeding through the Panama Canal shipping lanes alongside enormous cargo ships, to hearing howler monkeys echo through the jungle and spotting sloths hidden high in the trees, this ended up being one of the most memorable days of the cruise so far. And once we’re back onboard Brilliant Lady, the vlog continues with the rest of day 5 (of our 16 day sailing) — including Virgin Voyages’ brand-new dinner show, Up With A Twist. ✨ In this vlog: • Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady excursion • Panama Canal adventure tour • Gatun Lake wildlife boat trip • Howler monkeys, sloths & crocodiles • Panama cruise excursion review • Up With a Twist Dinner show 🎥 This video is part of our Panama Canal cruise series aboard Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady, sailing from Miami to Los Angeles through the iconic Panama Canal. ▶️ New to this series?
