Creator's Key Takeaways

So, if you just wanted a video seeing what the locks were about and how they work, this is the one for you.

It is $10 for adults, for non residents.

This is the old locks, but when we go over to the other locks, Aqua Clower locks, we'll have a better vantage point.

The Panama Canal is the proof that dreams are possible when there are many fighting to make dreams come true.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prepare and make sure you have enough time if you want to see the locks because that is going to be the longest part of your day.
If you're considering doing a Panama Canal cruise, take a cruise line excursion.

YouTube Video Description

Join Free and Michelle as we show Gatun Locks and Agua Clara Locks LIVE and in action during our Panama Canal cruise on Carnival Venezia. This video focuses only on the locks — real ships transiting through both systems — so you can clearly see the difference between the original Panama Canal locks and the newer expanded locks. We visit the Gatun Locks and the Agua Clara Locks, capturing ships moving through each lock chamber, plus the official informational video shown at Agua Clara explaining the history, purpose, and evolution of the Panama Canal. This tour was made easy with our private driver Junior, giving us the freedom to stop, watch, and really experience the canal up close while sailing aboard Carnival Venezia. If you’re planning a Panama Canal cruise or just want to understand how the locks actually work, this video gives you a clear, side-by-side look at both lock systems in real time. 📲 BOOK your next cruise with us: https://hwthbookings.cruisebrothers.com Email hwthbookings@gmail.com for booking!
