Caribbean & Panama Canal – Aruba, Curacao & Cartagena

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from March 1, 2027 and let this sailing from Miami do its thing. The route covers Great Stirrup Cay, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales and Oranjestad, with additional stops along the Caribbean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Miami, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Crossing 7 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Curaçao, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Puerto Limon: Costa Rica's Caribbean gateway to the jungle. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Sun takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 8 ports, 7 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
