Too4thesea Posted July 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2014 We will be sailing to Panama canal in Dec on Celebrity. I've tried to find out what might be available for a tour of the canal in Colon, to no avail. My husband spent his youth there. A tour of the canal, it's planned expansion, and a visit to the past would be a wonderful. Any suggestions, advice, etc...would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.....newbee to the sight:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted July 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You are not traveling through the canal? That would be your best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too4thesea Posted July 26, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's a cruise. Looking for shore tours that accommodate handicapped at stop in Colon. (Didn't plan on walking to the canal:p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It appears the OP is on Equinox, which call s at Colon. On our Infinity cruise, with a call at Colon following the transit, we were able to take a tour of Gatun Locks and the expansion center. The Gatun part was accessible, except for the viewing center, but there was a grassy area right by the lock, with benches. You would just miss the view from above. I think the expansion center was accessible, but I can't recall if an accessible bus was available. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlened236 Posted July 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's a cruise. Looking for shore tours that accommodate handicapped at stop in Colon. (Didn't plan on walking to the canal:p) Thanks for the laugh of the day. Wish I could help been thru the canal 4 times but never to Colon. I use a w/c for tours and can walk short distances, I did not find any totally accessible tours at any stop. Sorry Arlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
