The Biggest Ever Passenger ship goes through the Panama Canal

This week the biggest passenger ship to go through the Panama Canal was the Norwegian Bliss. 168000 tons with nearly 5000 passengers on board is transiting the waterway.The Norwegian Bliss left Germany’s Meyer Werft shipyard in March to begin a 15-day itinerary this month, sailing from Miami, Florida through the Panama Canal and up along the west coast of Central and North America before reaching its final destination at the Port of Los Angeles in California. The ship will then service the Alaska region until the end of the cruise season, after which it will be repositioned in the Caribbean.For the Panama Canal, The 24th of May marks the unofficial end to the 2017-18 cruise season when it will transit the Pacific Princess, operated by Princess Cruises, as part of a 17-day voyage from Los Angeles, California to its final destination at the port of Fort Lauderdale. The pacific Princess or the “Love Boat” as it’s called is only 30000 tons in comparison to the Norwegian Bliss.

The Norwegian Bliss is a fantastic ship in the Norwegian cruise Lines fleet, it will be doing itineraries in Alaska this summer in and out of Seattle and that will be amazing for a big ship as that.
