Caribbean to NYC – Curacao & Aruba

About this cruise

10 nights, 5 ports, all from Tampa on April 3, 2027. The route visits Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Willemstad, Oranjestad, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and New York and the whole thing just flows. The sailing ends in New York. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Dominican Republic to United States. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Gem has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
