Regatta made a daylight transit of the Panama Canal. The canal opened in 1914 and is only 48 miles long and takes 8-10 hours to traverse. There are three lock systems. The Gatun locks near the Caribbean entrance consist of three chambers raising ships 85 ft in Gatun Lake. After traversing Gatun Lake the San Miguel locks with one chamber lowers ships 31 ft. A short distance across Miraflores Lake and ships arrive at the Miraflores Locks consisting of two chambers and a 54 ft drop to the level of the Pacific Ocean. Current locks are 965 ft by 110 ft. The new canal expansion locks will be 1200 ft by 160 ft. Unlike the original locks that use water from Gatun and Miraflores lakes one time, the new locks will have retention ponds to capture the water for reuse as it is in limited quantity. The new expansion is set to open June 26, 2016, and the first ship will be a Cosco container ship. Tolls for use of the canal depend on the type of ship, the size and cargo. Regatta's toll was about $175K. The highest toll ever paid was by Norwegian Pearl in 2010 and was $375K.
