Yes. The only way to get from the North Atlantic to the North Pacific without the Panama Canal is the Arctic Ocean.

The Northwest Passage.
The Northwest Passage, except that it isn't imaginary; it's just usually frozen. For the last couple of years, good icebreakers have been able to make it.

The Suez Canal
The Northwest Passage is the name that European explorers gave to a theoretical waterway that would pass through the Americas and connect the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. However, there is no "Northwest Passage." However, the Pacific is directly connected to the Atlantic between South America and Antarctica, as well as through the Strait of Magellan. Today, however, ships often travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Panama Canal, a man-made waterway across the nation of Panama in Central America.
