Bahamas & Key West – Freeport & Key West

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Jacksonville on November 30, 2026 visits Freeport, Great Stirrup Cay and Key West and makes every day count. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Of the stops, Great Stirrup Cay tends to be the one people talk about: A private Bahamian escape. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. 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. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. If you can, add a night in Jacksonville before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
