PANAMA CANAL | From Atlantic to Pacific | La Bohème TV

🚢 Join us aboard the MS Oosterdam for an unforgettable journey through the legendary Panama Canal, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 🌎 Our voyage begins in Fort Lauderdale and takes us south through the Caribbean, past Aruba, before reaching the Atlantic entrance of the Panama Canal. ⚓ At the Gatun Locks, the Oosterdam enters an extraordinary system of three lock levels. Guided and centred by the famous electric locomotives known as “mules,” the ship gradually rises approximately 26 metres above sea level before reaching Gatun Lake. 🚢 Along the way, we watch cargo ships travelling in the opposite direction and experience the enormous lock gates opening and closing around us — an impressive demonstration of the engineering that has allowed ships to cross Panama for more than a century. 🌴 Leaving the Gatun Locks behind, we enter Gatun Lake and continue our journey across Panama toward the Pacific. 📍 Stretching approximately 80 kilometres between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Panama Canal opened in 1914 and transformed world shipping by eliminating the long voyage around South America. 🌆 At the end of the day, the Oosterdam anchors with the skyline of Panama City visible in the distance. ▶️ NEXT: Inca Discovery & Lima ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Panama Canal 00:04 Fort Lauderdale to Panama 00:12 Entering the Panama Canal 00:44 Gatun Locks — First Level 01:07 Ships Crossing the Locks 01:18 Climbing Through Gatun Locks 01:39 Entering the Second Level 01:59 Rising Toward the Final Level 02:09 Leaving Gatun Locks 02:28 Gatun Lake & Panama Canal 02:49 Panama City 02:55 Next: Inca Discovery & Lima ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 LA BOHÈME TV Travel • Adventures • Nature • Events 👍 If you enjoyed the journey, please like the video and subscribe to La Bohème TV for more travel adventures around the world. #️⃣ HASHTAGS #PanamaCanal #GatunLocks #Panama #MSOosterdam #CruiseTravel #Travel #LaBohemeTV
