Costco Cruises to Mexico
To many Americans, “Mexico” is practically synonymous with “vacation destination,” and while this is obviously a problematically narrow view of large and culturally rich nation, this doesn’t change the fact that millions of tourist from the U.S. funnel into Mexico every year. Given the volume of tourism, it makes sense that there are lots of cruises to Mexico, and also that Costco Travel offers plenty of these cruises. (Costco Travel, at least at this point, only caters to their U.S. members, so obviously Mexico is a focus of their operations.) To give you an idea of what Costco cruises to Mexico are available, we’ve compiled a guide that spells out the range of possibilities, as well as touch on booking Mexican cruises with Costco as we conclude.

Costco Cruises to Asia
In our guide and overview of Costco cruises, we mentioned that you can take a Costco cruise to the far corners of the globe.

Hawaii Cruises: Cruises to Hawaii

Panama Canal Cruises: What Does “Partial Transit” Mean?
If you have ever looked into cruises to the Panama Canal or transcanal cruises, you’ve probably seen the phrase “partial transit” (or potentially “partial crossing”). As you might have guessed, “partial transit” means that the cruise ship does not fully traverse the Panama Canal, but merely goes part of the way through it and then turns around, exiting through its point of entry. This is, in the simplest terms, what “partial transit” means in the context of a Panama Canal cruise. However, much more can be said about partial transit cruises of the Panama Canal, which is why we have dedicated an article to the subject. Exactly what does partial transit of the Panama Canal entail, and how can you go about booking one of these cruises? Read more […] -

And if you do find yourself waiting there, we’ve compiled some things to see and do before you leave on your cruise from Honolulu. Read more […] -
Cruises to the Panama Canal
The title “Cruises to the Panama Canal” contains an important preposition, “to.” The word “to” is significant in this instance because it distinguishes cruises to the Panama Canal from cruises through the Panama Canal, which are also called transcanal cruises. The latter are offered infrequently because they are repositioning cruises, whereas cruises to the Panama Canal are offered more consistently throughout the year. Having already covered transcanal cruise and how to book them, we decided to focus on cruises that merely visit the Panama Canal and then return to their port of departure. Below you will find an overview of these cruises to the Panama Canal. Read more […]
