Caribbean & Panama Canal – Cartagena & Panama

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on November 29, 2026 through Great Stirrup Cay, Cartagena and Panama Canal, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Cayman Islands, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Cartagena stands out. It's Colonial splendour behind fortress walls. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Sun keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
