Infinity Traversing Panama Canal Locks For the past 9 years McConaghy Tours and Lobstick Tours have offered a Panama Canal sailing every November and on our 10th Anniverary sailing, it was decided we would go with the cruise line that has consistantly offered the best service and pricing, Celebrity.  This combined with the extremely positive feedback from last years sailors, confirms this is the right choice for our friends wanting to sail this year.
