Caribbean & Panama Canal – Grand Cayman & Cartagena

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on February 6, 2027 through Grand Cayman Island, 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 route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: Cayman Islands, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico. Grand Cayman Island stands out. It's Seven Mile Beach and stingray encounters. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Sun, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 11 nights. 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. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All in all, it's a solid trip.
