Atlantic Crossing – Azores & Lisbon

About this cruise

Block out 13 nights from April 17, 2028 and let this sailing from Jacksonville do its thing. The route covers Great Stirrup Cay, Horta, Ponta Delgada, Leixões (Porto) and Lisbon and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Last stop: Lisbon. With 8 sea days versus 5 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. Mid-Atlantic islands with their own microclimate, their own wine, and their own pace. Underrated. Of the stops, Great Stirrup Cay tends to be the one people talk about: A private Bahamian escape. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Dawn keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Jacksonville before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
