This 9 minute video covers the Northbound (Pacific to Atlantic, i.e. west to east) transit of the Panama Canal aboard Celebrity Cruise Line's Infinity. (The canal actually runs north and south, even though ships are sailing East to West or vice versa). This transit was part of a 14 night re-positioning cruise from Valparaiso, Chile to Ft. Lauderdale. We had an Aft-facing balcony cabin, which added to the excitement of the transit. The transit took about 12 hours, and by afternoon many guests were entertaining in the 'Aft-Club' cabins. Quite a beautiful day! In the opening scene a book is show laying on the balcony table called 'The Path Between the Seas', which is a must-read for anyone sailing through it. The book covers the history, challenges, politics, and media coverage of the day - quite a fascinating look at this modern day marvel. It really made the significance of the passage even more amazing. There are also a couple scenes showing Panama Hats, which were purchased at the previous stop of Manata Ecuador, which is famous for these hats that are shipped worldwide.
